Artificial Intelligence – Powering Transformation in Financial Services
At Microsoft, we believe that the client experience can be fundamentally transformed through the power of AI. We believe the future is an Intelligent Bank, where technology can predict seamlessly what the client needs next and empower them. The next generation of millennial investor will also demand new levels of personalization and frictionless experiences.
Banking and especially Wealth/Financial Advisory and Client/Advisor relationships is an area where Microsoft believes Artificial Intelligence can empower Advisors/Relationship Managers and their clients to achieve more. Microsoft believes that the real power of Artificial Intelligence is in augmenting (not replacing) the Human Advisor. Many of our FSI customers are looking to scale their Advisor capacity across a larger number of clients. To achieve this level of augmentation, you need an Artificial Intelligence solution to take on more tasks. These include gathering and analyzing market research and market events in real time. The solution also needs to analyze and prioritize the impacts to the client the Advisor is servicing.
