Challenges

| Fragmentation of Data, Systems and Processes

Legacy, modern systems, and third-party tools operated side by side without proper integration or data governance, causing inefficiency and duplication of data across departments.

| Reliance on manual work

With no integrated platform, teams had to manually input, copy and rekey data across multiple systems and files, with Excel as the primary processing and reporting tool.

| Process progress lacked visibility

There was no standardized way to track process progress, assignees, due dates or status updates across teams.

| Manual income forecasting

Income forecasting relied on multiple teams updating separate Excel files, with no real-time information or standardized prediction process.

Solution

Axians started the transformation by conducting an on-site workshop and user research to map pain points, understand business processes and define a clear roadmap, all documented in a “Vision Book” that aligned both teams on what to build, how and when – including the replacement of a legacy Lotus Notes system that had been a core part of the company for many years.
