Problem statement

While retail banking and B2C journeys have digitized aggressively in the last 5-7 years, we significantly underestimate the pending disruption in the world of Corporate Banking, Insurance and multiple other document-intensive BFSI use cases. Traditional OCR and automation solutions have done a good job in processing templated and structured documents. Still, there remains a large technology whitespace in the processing of unstructured and complex documents quickly and accurately.
