Software bots built on Wipro HOLMES platform can be used to automate industry specific business processes. Wipro HOLMES leverages semantics, machine learning, pattern recognition and knowledge modeling technologies to enable solutions that add valuable context, intelligence and automation to enterprises.
Know Your Customer (KYC) is a business process to verify the identity of customers. Evolving regulatory reforms require financial institutions to significantly strengthen their KYC and customer on-boarding processes and practices. As a result, the processes around the collation, validation, safeguarding and monitoring of potential customers’ identification and financial information have become crucial.
The solution will help clients achieve cost savings upto 35%. It will also enable greater accuracy, improved customer experience and assurance of better quality KYC, in line with regulatory requirements. This solution has been designed around key aspects such as natural interaction, multi-structured information processing, machine learning and reasoning.
