At Arrayo, we proudly partnered as a strategic collaborator in establishing a Global Records Management Program for a prominent North American financial institution. The program aimed to connect various record types with specific regulatory and legal requirements, demonstrating compliance and identifying areas for remediation. To support this initiative, we developed business-wide reporting for quality assurance, testing, and routine processes, working closely with the bank’s project leads to define key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting standards.

Challenge

Our client, a global North American financial institution,aimed to establish an efficient Global Records Management Program, ensuring compliance and transparency across the organization.

Before engaging with Arrayo, our client faced challenges in creating a comprehensive Records Management Program. They needed a system capable of connecting various record types to specific regulatory and legal requirements. Additionally, they needed robust reporting and analytics capabilities to identify gaps and ensure compliance.
