Use Salesforce Financial Services Cloud to empower your team with customer visibility

Growth in business isn’t always about scale. Leaders need to find ways to create value within their current customer base. This requires an understanding of clients only possible with a holistic view — one that extends from discovery to purchase. However, in a Gartner report, analysts shared that only 5% of companies were using a 360-degree customer view to grow their business. Meaning many companies are making decisions in a vacuum, at least partially blind to true customer needs and wants. 

How are financial institutions collecting and aggregating data to gain a holistic understanding of their customers? Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC) is the tool of choice for banks and credit unions across the globe. It allows organizations to:

• Easily track clients with a 360-degree view
• Facilitate upselling products in their organization
• Drive deposit growth
• Improve internal transparency of client needs
• Seamlessly integrate with middle office origination and processing systems for supplemental data

Salesforce provides important functionality for financial institutions, including world-class security, scalability, and unified systems. Applications that pay for themselves while helping your business evolve are a no-brainer. This is FSC. West Monroe views FSC as the clear leader from a value perspective and will not implement any other solutions. So, what is FSC, and how can it help your financial institution? 

FSC brings down departmental silos

High-performing teams function without silos or barriers. FSC unifies important business functions like sales, service, and business intelligence with one service — allowing teams to collaborate with unparalleled efficiency. By bringing down silos, businesses avoid the missed opportunities that come from not understanding their customers. FSC is purpose-built for banks and credit unions and comes with ready-to-use, industry-standard tools that cover:

• Householding
• Financial accounts
• Document management
• Referrals
• Account rollups
• Financial goals

FSC tools are fully supported by Salesforce and evolve constantly. Salesforce upgrades its applications three times per year using best practices to improve functionality, security, and usability. It’s also protected by Shield and is fully compatible with the nCino stack to provide a complete end-to-end customer experience — from lead to client to support servicing.

West Monroe is uniquely positioned to provide deep experience.

After almost a decade of implementation experience, we can share insights from enterprise-spanning FSC models with your financial institution. Our experience spans platform knowledge, core platform integrations, and governance of the platform.
