Overview
At a leading financial institution, teams struggled with vital information hidden across contracts, policies, credit memos, underwriting reports, and regulatory documents. Analysts spent hours manually digging through dense files, searching for key clauses and insights. Deadlines slipped, compliance checks lagged, and decisions slowed, frustrating managers and increasing operational risk. The institution needed a smarter way to turn vast document repositories into actionable, accurate insights quickly and at scale.
The Challenge
- Fragmented Document Access: Contracts, policies, regulatory filings, and internal reports were scattered across multiple systems. Teams wasted time locating information, increasing the risk of missing important clauses.
- Manual Review Delays Decisions: Analysts had to manually read through thousands of pages to extract insights. This slowed underwriting, trading, claims processing, and compliance checks.
