“These solutions will also reduce the multiple — often repetitive — steps needed to onboard new investors or originate loans, cutting down the time spent on paperwork,” she added.
Wipro’s new GenAI-powered cognitive assistants will be powered by Microsoft Azure Open AI and available on Azure App Services. The solutions will also utilise Microsoft Azure Document Intelligence, which uses advanced machine learning to extract text, key-value pairs, and structures from documents.
“Wipro has extensive financial services expertise, and we know that their new AI-powered virtual assistants will deliver innovation, scale and meaningful business value for customers,” said Bill Borden, Corporate VP, Worldwide Financial Services at Microsoft.
