The Fund Services team at Credit Suisse administers over 700 funds for asset managers across Europe. To complete key workflows, however, the team relied on slow, paper-based, and manual quality controls, which monopolized the time of skilled fund accountants. To remedy this, Credit Suisse implemented the Workflow and Exception Manager module within Multifonds Global Accounting, which enabled a whole new and streamlined way of working. The fund accounting team has now replaced paper with automated workflows, and exceptions are automatically raised when Multifonds detects an error. This approach saves huge amounts of time that can now be dedicated to more value-added tasks.

A key milestone was the implementation of Workflow and Exception Manager which allowed us to automate a lot of our processes, but the key element of the automation was that we moved to a paperless world which was very important.”
