Data science is a major area of investment for banks due to its proven impact on operations such as fraud protection, risk mitigation, customer relationship management, and more. But while investments in AI are growing, banks are often finding that their existing analytics and business intelligence technology and talent aren’t capable of meeting their current and expanding needs. Challenges in resources, technology infrastructure, and the ability to operationalize models quickly and efficiently can prevent financial institutions from fully leveraging AI and data science to drive business impact.
These challenges, paired with the need to remain competitive in a quickly evolving market, compelled the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) to seek out innovative solutions to help it maximize its AI and machine learning (ML) investments.
