Automating Financial Services with Robotics and Cognitive Automation
Leverage the power of robotic process automation and cognitive automation
Robotics and cognitive automation (R&CA) is transforming how financial services firms operate, and over the next few years more widespread adoption of R&CA is expected across the industry. Today, however, many firms are still in the early stages and aren't sure how to achieve the scale necessary to produce substantial business value. So how can your organization increase the scale and business value of automation?

Where are you in the R&CA journey?
According to the 2017 Deloitte state of cognitive survey, 76 percent of companies surveyed across a wide range of industries believe cognitive technologies will “substantially transform” their companies within three years. However, the survey also shows that scale is essential to capturing benefits from R&CA. Specifically, 49 percent of respondents with 11 or more R&CA deployments reported “substantial benefit” from their programs, compared to only 21 percent of respondents with two or fewer deployments.
Without sufficient scale, it may seem difficult for the benefits from R&CA to justify the effort and investment. Yet all too often, firms find themselves stuck in experimental mode—held back by resource and knowledge limitations, or overwhelmed by the complexity of technologies and processes. Avoid common pitfalls by setting the right expectations with appropriate preparation and diligence. This can help you build a foundation for successful scaling.
Sample outcomes of robotic process automation
 |
Transformative change Re-engineer core processes while automating the function. |
 |
Flexibility Rapidly scale up or down depending on the nature of the business issue. |
 |
Cost reduction Significant potential cost reduction opportunity, depending upon characteristics of the selected automation functions. |
 |
Decouple profits and labor Revenue and profit become less dependent on the ability to scale labor; automation enhances the abilities of current resources. Revenue and profit become less dependent on the ability to scale labor; automation enhances the abilities of current resources. |

Automation-driven transformation: How to increase the scale and business value of automation in Financial Services Robotic process automation, cognitive automation, and artificial intelligence are transforming how financial services organizations operate. Today, many organizations are still in the early stages of incorporating R&CA into their businesses. Learn how you can maximize the value and benefits from R&CA investments. |

Automation in on-boarding and ongoing servicing of commercial banking clients: Streamlining processes and costs with robotic process automation (RPA) and cognitive technologies The process of on-boarding commercial banking clients can be a long and expensive one. This process can take as long as 16 weeks to complete, often hampering the customer experience. Banks may end up investing as much as $30,000 to onboard a new client. While banks have traditionally needed a large workforce to complete the many manual processes required for onboarding, that need is quickly diminishing with the development of RPA and other cognitive technologies. |

Robotics and cognitive automation will keep banks from drowning in data Most financial institutions realize that the volume of data and analytics required for future success exceeds current processing capabilities. To maximize the potential of machine learning, natural language processing, chatbots, robotic processing automation, and intelligent analytics, new technologies will be required. |
