The Interplay of Data Transformation and Omnichannel Delivery

In our recent discussions about accelerating user onboarding for data services and the necessity of omnichannel delivery, a fundamental theme emerged: the success of omnichannel strategies hinges on effective data transformation. This blog delves into how ipushpull not only supports omnichannel delivery but also ensures that the underlying data transformation seamlessly integrates with various client workflows, driving efficiency and growth in the financial sector.

The Crucial First Step: Data Transformation in the Digital Age

Before delving into omnichannel delivery, it's essential to understand the role of data transformation. Data-driven services in the financial market must ensure that their data is in a consistent and relevant format for the required workflows and for consumption across multiple channels and formats. This transformation is critical for maintaining accuracy, ensuring regulatory compliance, and achieving scalability. ipushpull's platform excels in transforming data for compatibility with client-preferred applications, be that chat platforms, spreadsheets, custom forms or apps, or even email.

Data Transformation Methods: From Parsing through to AI

Data transformation for omnichannel is not a singular problem to solve but a broad spectrum. When distributing 'outbound' data from a data service to client applications, the source format will often be known, as will the desired delivery format, even if each client is different. In this case, there is no significant problem in understanding the content of a message, so simple techniques like parsing can be used for the transformation.  Similarly, when dealing with standardised 'inbound' submissions from clients the same approach can be often used. Bigger challenges arise where data is less standardised and structured.  This is where more sophisticated techniques, some AI-based like NER and LLMs are becoming increasingly useful and successful in interpreting and standardising messages, in many cases enabling automation of some heavy-duty manual tasks on the service side.          

Omnichannel Delivery: Meeting Clients Where They Are

With data transformation as the foundation, the next step is omnichannel delivery. whether it's your team on the service desk, or your clients,  end users in the financial sector are often managing multiple screens and platforms. ipushpull's approach is to deliver data directly into the tools used daily, eliminating the need for copy and pasting between applications, screen-switching and context changes. This integration transforms the user experience, making it more efficient and user-friendly while providing the means for easier automation of time-consuming manual tasks. Interested to know more?

Empowering Clients with Self-Service Tools

A key to successful omnichannel delivery is client empowerment. ipushpull enables your clients to set up watchlists to receive notifications and trigger events in their spreadsheets or chat platforms. This self-service approach means clients receive the data they need, in the format and place they prefer, without missing critical events due to screen overload.

Streamlined Workflows and Automation for your Clients

Effective omnichannel delivery isn't just about pushing data; it's about facilitating client actions. ipushpull's platform simplifies client interactions by automating workflows. ipushpull offers configurable custom apps (desktop or mobile) and a host of configurable tools for the client your integrate and automate locally, including desktop protocols like FDC3 for seamless transitions between applications. Such features streamline the execution of tasks, reduce manual interventions, and minimise errors.

Seizing the First Mover Advantage

In the evolving landscape of financial services, those who adopt a solid omnichannel strategy, underpinned by robust data transformation, will likely lead in harnessing growth opportunities. By ensuring that data is not only delivered where clients want it but also in a format they can immediately utilise, ipushpull helps your data-driven services increase their value proposition, stand out from the competition, and foster strong, loyal client relationships.
