MONTRÉAL, Oct. 23, 2018 /CNW
Telbec/ - CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB) announced it partnered
with Scotiabank and Conpend on a proof of concept using robotic
automation to capture, identify and classify documents as part of
the CGI Trade360 transaction flow.
The CGI and Conpend solution is designed to help banks achieve
digital transformation by empowering trade finance operations,
compliance and relationship management with the digitization of
paper document flows. The proof of concept integrated Conpend's
Trafinas, a robotic process automation solution developed
specifically for trade finance transactions; and the CGI Trade360
trade finance platform.
The proof of concept will prove the ability of intelligent
process automation to reduce the time spent on manual activities
while delivering quality data to transform business processes and
unlock the benefits of digitization. The solution is also flexible
enough to support various use cases across all the typical trade
products and simultaneously take specific customer requirements
into account.
Commenting on this initiative, Scotiabank released the following
statement: "Scotiabank is at the forefront of digitalization
initiatives in financial services because they enhance the customer
experience. With this POC, Scotiabank intends to expand the use of
intelligent process automation in the otherwise paper-intensive
global trade-finance business, providing faster service to our
customers."
"When we started, our mission was right from the start to focus
on digitizing trade finance so that we could transform the Bank's
daily operations. We are proud of the collaboration with CGI and
look forward to further pursue the goal of automation for their
clients," said Marc Smith, CEO,
Conpend.
"Financial institutions today have an urgent need to meet
customer expectations around digital capabilities and services,"
said Frank Tezzi, Vice-President of
Trade and Supply Chain Solutions at CGI. "With this successful
intelligent process automation proof of concept, more banks will
soon be able to refocus on high-value work while improving
processes and reducing costs."
