Microsoft acquires Seattle startup Suplari, which uses AI to analyze corporate spending

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment
  • “Microsoft said it will pair Suplari with Microsoft Dynamics 365 ‘to help customers maximize financial visibility by using AI to automate the analysis of current data and historical patterns from multiple data sources.’
  • Suplari analyzes procurement and spending data flowing into various enterprise systems. It can provide recommendations for cost savings, risk exposure, and other efficiency gaps. The software serves as an alternative to compiling data in an app such as Excel or Tableau and having a team of analysts comb through the information themselves. Suplari manages more than $180 billion in spend across millions of transactions per month.”

Cognitive banking is creating the banking experience of the future | VentureBeat

  • “Cognitive systems use AI technologies to help banks leverage their data to deliver insights about themselves, their customers, and their competitors. Intelligent digital assistants are the critical enabler of cognitive banking for customers, enabling users to better understand and manage their money, and make better financial decisions.
  • Digital chatbots are simply reactive, waiting for a user to ask a question, and they’re highly impersonal — a millennial in the early stages of their career and a multi-millionaire get the same generic response.
  • When you leverage cognitive banking you’re offering your users an AI-powered solution that’s sophisticated enough to answer whys — why a customer’s balance is low, what deposits will bring them back up into the green, and so on, and then offer personalized advice about managing bills, increasing savings, and more.”

What AI can do for credit unions

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment
  • “Ayesha Khanna, co-founder & CEO, ADDO AI…encouraged credit unions to view AI as an assistant which can do a lot of repeatable tasks, analyse huge amounts of data, give reports and insights, and make recommendations. It also allows companies to be far more customer-focused and customise their services, she said.
  • Her main recommendation to credit unions was to think of AI as a member of their team that can help them make informed decisions. ‘Work with AI partners to manage the downside, amplify our own potential and do more for your customers,’ she said.”
