Imagine you’ve hired a Michelin star chef to cook for your dinner party. But you give them the assignment without any information about your preferences, dietary restrictions, or the occasion you're celebrating. Now, the chef might whip up something extraordinary. Or everyone might go home hungry. The same holds true for business. Your company can have the best brains in the world, but they won’t do you much good until they’ve learned the context of your business. And the same goes for generative AI (GenAI). GenAI models, such as OpenAI’s GPT series or Anthropic’s Claude, represent a powe ..read more

The financial services industry has a golden opportunity to transform itself with generative AI (GenAI). The McKinsey Global Institute estimates an annual revenue increase of $200-$340 billion (equivalent to 9–15% of operating profits) for banks that leverage the technology.

It’s simpler, cleaner, and faster than any SAP solution before. It builds on the tools available in older versions to ..read more

We’re rapidly moving towards a world where the back office is almost fully automated. Consider: Gartner predicts that within a year, half of B2B invoices will be paid without manual intervention, further increasing to 80% by 2030. We’re not there yet—recent research suggests that, today, 57% of invoice data still needs manual entry—but it’s clearly coming soon. That’s because the speed, capacity, cost savings, and accuracy delivered by modern intelligent document processing (IDP) are nearly impossible to resist. And adoption will accelerate even more as generative AI (GenAI) powers big leaps f ..read more

In recent years, no other technology was more disruptive to supply chains than AI.
