They employ approximately 30,000 FTEs and 13,500 independent agents and brokers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Challenge

The company’s Canadian claims operation was using 100% manual tasks to process claims. With the large volume of transactions being processed daily, this was not scalable. The staff that was on hand to perform these operations were not sufficient for to volume of transaction. This caused them to have to pull in additional individuals from other departments to help. The result was poor performance, slow turnaround times and an inability to complete assigned tasks.

Solution

DIG implemented intelligent automation and document management to automate this end-to-end process and reduce the manual effort significantly. The solution was able to extract information from 13 claim forms and enter that information into the appropriate system of record with little to no human interaction beyond simple validation. DIG used Optical Character Recognition (OCR), classification and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technologies to identify a document that comes into a client’s system, extract the necessary information and automatically entered it into the system of record.

As a result, the claims operation was able to reduce manual labor by over 60%.

International Bank

Client Description

International bank with strong European roots and a global network. This client has corporate, private and investment arms with a focus on asset management. With a strong presence in Europe, this bank is continuously growing in North America, Asia and key emerging markets.

Challenge

Solution

DIG was able to automate the majority of the mortgage process. The solution implemented took common mortgage documents (W-2s, tax returns, financial statement etc.) auto classified them performed OCR extraction on key fields, and populated the mortgage application as needed. A task was then activated to have a RPA bot reach out to various verification agencies to ensure the information was correct. When complete, a knowledge worker was prompted to review all of the collected materials, ensure feasibility and move the application to underwriting for final approval and clear to close.

Results

Clear to close time has significantly reduced and the banks reputation has improved. The total turnaround time for a residential mortgage reduced from over 45 days to under 30. The new automated solution has freed up workers from performing manual data entry and enabled them to perform different, higher-level thinking tasks to help improve the customer experience and overall productivity.
