Case Study
National Bank Leverages Artificial Intelligence
In today’s rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, financial institutions face immense pressure to maintain robust data governance and compliance. A national bank, grappling with the complexities of its extensive Salesforce implementation, sought a solution to streamline its processes, reduce technical debt, and ensure adherence to critical regulations like GDPR. They turned to Metazoa’s AI-powered tools for Salesforce org management, and the results have been transformative.
Complex Salesforce Environment
The bank’s Salesforce environment had grown organically over several years, resulting in:
- Technical Debt: A proliferation of custom code, fields, and configurations made updates and maintenance a significant challenge.
- Compliance Risks: Difficulty in identifying and mitigating potential GDPR violations across the vast Salesforce data landscape.
- Limited Documentation: Inadequate documentation of metadata assets hindered understanding and collaboration.
- Time-Consuming Error Resolution: Decoding Salesforce deployment errors and identifying solutions was a drain on developer resources.
Governance and Compliance
The bank implemented Metazoa’s Snapshot product, leveraging its AI capabilities to address these challenges. Key areas of engagement included:
AI-Powered Security and Compliance
Metazoa’s tools enabled the bank to proactively identify and remediate potential GDPR violations. For example, using the Intelligent Assistant, they were able to:
- Quickly locate fields storing sensitive customer data across various objects.
- Analyze validation rules and workflows to ensure data privacy protocols were enforced.
- Generate reports on data residency to comply with cross-border data transfer regulations.
This saved the bank countless hours of manual review and significantly reduced the risk of non-compliance penalties.
Streamlined Error Resolution
The bank’s developers leveraged Metazoa’s AI-powered error explanation capabilities to:
- Quickly understand the root cause of deployment and data migration errors.
- Receive AI-driven suggestions for resolving errors, eliminating the need for extensive troubleshooting.
- Reduce the time spent on error resolution by up to 70%, freeing up developers for more strategic initiatives.
Enhanced Metadata Management with Metadata Studio
The bank utilized Metadata Studio to improve org documentation and remove technical debt. They employed the following strategies:
- Automated Documentation: Generated comprehensive documentation for custom objects, Apex classes, and other metadata assets.
- Best Practices Analysis: Identified areas where the org deviated from Salesforce best practices, allowing them to proactively address potential issues.
- Technical Debt Remediation: Used AI-powered prompts to identify and simplify complex code, reducing maintenance overhead.

The bank empowered its business users with the Intelligent Search functionality to gain deeper insights into their Salesforce data. Examples include:
- Analyzing account data and related opportunities to identify the next best action for sales teams.
- Understanding the relationships between different metadata assets to optimize Salesforce configurations.
- Quickly answering questions about org management best practices using Metazoa’s extensive knowledge base.
Description Enrichment for Improved Clarity
The bank used the Description Enrichment report to:
- Identify metadata assets lacking descriptions, ensuring better understanding and maintainability.
- Automatically generate descriptions using AI, saving time and improving documentation consistency.
- Review and deploy new descriptions directly from the report, streamlining the documentation process.
Cost Reduction and Better Governance
- Reduced Time to Market: Streamlined development and deployment processes accelerated the delivery of new Salesforce features.
- Lower Development Costs: AI-powered error resolution and technical debt remediation reduced the need for costly rework.
- Improved Data Governance: Proactive identification and remediation of GDPR violations minimized compliance risks.
