About the Client
The client is a North American corporate financial services firm. It manages over $3.4 billion in client assets. They provide specialized commercial lending, corporate wealth management, and portfolio advisory solutions across 14 regional offices.
The Challenge
Fragmented legacy software and time-intensive manual routines were constraining the client's operational productivity.
They approached Aegis Softtech for a unified cloud ecosystem that would replace their repetitive administrative work and accelerate client service requests, allowing advisors to focus on high-value client relationships.
- Disconnected Systems: Their client account data, risk assessments, and transaction histories lived in separate databases. This was forcing their staff to copy manually and re-key information across applications.
- Sluggish Approval Cycles: Commercial credit requests and portfolio adjustments required physical or email-based multi-tier sign-offs. This was causing average approval times to be over 5 business days.
- Administrative Overload: The client’s advisors spent nearly half of their daily working hours drafting routine client summaries and manually logging compliance notes.
- Compliance & Error Risks: High manual handling was creating transcription discrepancies between advisory notes and regulatory compliance filings. This was causing audit delays.
The Solution
Our Microsoft Dynamics team delivered an end-to-end cloud modernization and intelligent workflow automation strategy.
Unified Platform Deployment & Copilot AI Enablement
We created a single, intelligent hub for all advisory and client service operations:
- Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Integration: Our experts unified sales, service, and advisory records into a secure Microsoft Dataverse layer. This gave their staff a comprehensive 360-degree view of every client account.
- Embedded Microsoft Copilot Assistance: We integrated Copilot AI across the client’s daily advisory workflows. This automatically summarizes lengthy client meeting notes, generates instant risk profiles, and drafts personalized follow-up emails.
Automated Power Automate Approval Engines
We replaced email chains with dynamic cloud-native approval workflows:
- Intelligent Routing Logic: Our Dynamics 365 professionals configured Power Automate flows. These instantly evaluate request thresholds, trigger real-time Microsoft Teams notifications, and assign tasks to the correct approval authority.
- Automated Audit Logging: We built background compliance logging to capture all sign-off timestamps and approval steps automatically. This ensured instant regulatory readiness.
Technical Layout of the Automation & AI Pipeline
| Implementation Phase | Technical & Engineering Execution | Core Platform Architecture Feature | Global Operational Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Consolidation | Unified legacy SQL databases into Dataverse | Centralized Microsoft Dataverse Model | Eliminates data silos while providing real-time client account visibility. |
| AI Assist Build | Configured Microsoft Copilot & AI Prompts | Azure OpenAI & Copilot Framework | Automatically generates client briefs and meeting summaries in seconds. |
| Flow Orchestration | Engineered multi-tier Power Automate logic | Power Platform Cloud Flows | Automates approvals and sends real-time interactive Teams approval cards. |
The Results
Deploying an AI-driven Dynamics 365 environment delivered rapid, measurable productivity gains:
- 60% Reduction in Manual Processes:
Automating routine administrative tasks and approval paths eliminated around 60% of the total manual touchpoints across the client’s advisory teams. - 4x Faster Approval Speed:
Approval for commercial loans and credit dropped from an average of 5 days to under 24 hours. - 15+ Hours Saved per Advisor Weekly:
Staff were able to increase client face-time by 40% because Copilot summary generation and automated logging saved their time. - 100% Automated Compliance Tracking:
Documentation gaps during quarterly compliance reviews were completely eliminated because of system-generated audit trails.
What Made the Difference?
Contextual Approval Cards
We engineered interactive Adaptive Cards directly within the client’s Microsoft Teams. Approvers receive full loan context and client histories directly in their chat view, which allows them to approve or request revisions in a single click.
Guardrailed Copilot Prompt Engineering
We developed custom prompt templates for Copilot to ensure that AI-generated client summaries, portfolio briefs, and investment follow-ups adhere strictly to financial compliance guidelines while maintaining a consistent tone.
Threshold-Based Auto-Routing Matrix
Our team established a dynamic matrix that evaluates client risk tier, product type, and credit size in real-time. For instance, standard credit adjustments bypass manual triage, going directly towards execution.
