Scan On Demand Development for Sesame Financial Services Network

Sesame provides back office services for over 7,000 Independent Financial Advisors (IFA). They offer credit checking, financial products, services, insurance and complaints handling. In 2006 Sesame sold over £23billion worth of mortgages through their IFAs and provided document storage facilities for paper records such as application forms, letters and general correspondence – representing over 25 million sheets of paper.

We developed a highly secure web based system that allowed records to be indexed, searched and scanned and the images accessed on-line within 8 hours. This saved the complaints department from trawling through 80,000 boxes of documents, which they needed to access to process claims, and enabled them to hit their targets by processing their claims within the agreed timescale. This has saved Sesame many £Millions of pounds a year.
