SmartStream focussing on artificial intelligence for back office processing

SmartStream Technologies, a provider of financial Transaction Lifecycle Management (TLM) solutions, has launched the next phase of its innovations team – which is working with financial institutions to optimise workflows, using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and blockchain technologies, in the areas of reconciliations, cash management and fees and expense management. The new innovations team has been recruited to help design new AI and ML techniques to drive down costs and improve work flow efficiencies, taking advantage of advanced data analytics to re-engineer traditional work models across back office processing. Highly skilled members of the team include mathematicians, applied data scientists, computer scientists and PhDs, who will focus on the deployment of AI/ML and blockchain models with financial institutions. This includes evaluating optimal AI/ML modelling, data interpolation, running tests, implementations and analysing how AI processes best work within the current product environment by monitoring achievements and optimisation of processes, to enable better business outcomes. In the areas of reconciliations and cash management, AI/ML will help to monitor, watch and learn.
