Newgen's solution has been used to automate the financial processes, including outward remittance, standing orders, speed transfers overseas and inward enquiries. The project involved process automation integration with core system and other supporting third-party systems. These processes were earlier split across applications such as workflow, scanning, signature and core-banking system with multiple data entry.
The implementation helped Bank Muscat reduce average processing time by 75%, reduction in staffing in central operations by 25% and increase 12% growth in volumes of retail payments. Streamlining and automating processes end-to-end led to significant improvement in efficiency and reduced new process roll-out from months to weeks.
"Bank Muscat is happy to be recognised within the banking fraternity for its innovative use of technology. Our mission is to be a leader in digital banking. Newgen has been a reliable partner and has helped us enhance customer experiences, reduce costs and cut time to market significantly," said a spokesperson, Bank Muscat.
"Newgen strives to provide its clients with the right set of technological offerings and facilitate their digital transformation journey. Receiving this award reinforces our continued commitment towards ensuring our clients have the best technology," said Diwakar Nigam, Chairman and Managing Director, Newgen Software.
