What is Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) in Finance?
Financial institutions leverage IPA, a powerful blend of AI, machine learning, and RPA, to streamline tasks. From data extraction and validation to complex decision-making, IPA optimises financial processes, boosting efficiency and accuracy.
Market Fit and Problem Statement
IPA finds its sweet spot in industries grappling with vast amounts of data. By automating tasks and minimizing human involvement, IPA unlocks the power of this data, delivering two key benefits:
- Market Fit
The use of IPA is widespread across industries where large amounts of data need to be processed with minimal human intervention. The primary benefit is the accelerated availability of accurate transactional data and a significant reduction in operational costs, driving business efficiency and sustainability.
- Problem Statement
A critical challenge in financial operations is transforming document-based transactional data into digital data. Traditionally, this process is manual, error-prone, and resource-intensive, especially for paper-based and unstructured digital documents. In addition to slowing down business functions, this manual approach also increases operational costs.
