Generative AI in Banking: Start by Solving for Simple
Sep-23 DOC # US51208623 Insight
Authors:
Summary
This IDC Perspective complements previous research into generative AI (GenAI) and looks at the technology in the context of the financial services industry and banking. Although the industry is in its early days for its use, many banks are already piloting GenAI in proofs of concept (POCs) centered on relatively simple use cases to solve simple problems. GenAI has become the disruptive technology for all industries in 2023. Usually, with any new, disruptive technology, there are more questions than answers. However, unusually, most banks have become familiar with GenAI and all its potential use cases, benefits, and challenges quicker than other technologies before it.
"Generative AI has caught the attention of every bank worldwide, whether they have plans to deploy it or not," says Jerry Silva, vice president, IDC Financial Insights. "But IDC believes this could be the most transformative technology since cloud, and every bank should at least educate themselves and being thinking about use cases within the organization."

Authors:
Summary
This IDC MarketScape delves into intelligent workbench applications tailored to the commercial P&C line insurance sector. This comprehensive research involves quantitative and qualitative analysis of nine leading vendors, exploring the various features and characteristics defining their capabilities in supporting commercial underwriting activities and streamlining operations. These intelligent workbench solutions facilitate seamless interactions within the insurance ecosystem. Using a standardized framework, we identify key parameters that contribute to success in providing cutting-edge workbench applications for the short and long term. In addition to underwriting, we assess vendors' capacity to support wider policy management and insurance products while meeting new demand in a market that is continually changing and demanding. In times of uncertainty, it is essential for insurance organizations to make informed choices that will enhance competitiveness and adaptability. With this assessment, we aim to guide industry players toward selecting the most suitable intelligent workbench application, empowering them to thrive in the dynamic landscape and fostering innovation in the insurance domain.
"In the ever-evolving landscape of insurance underwriting, embracing change is not just a choice but a necessity. Commercial line P&C insurers face a host of challenges, from mounting regulatory pressures to complex risk assessments and growing customer expectations. To navigate these hurdles and thrive in the digital age, intelligent workbench applications emerge as a beacon of hope. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced data visualization, and API connectivity, intelligent workbenches streamline the underwriting process, efficiently analyzing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and accurately assessing risks. As a result, insurers can enhance their agility, offer more personalized products, and deliver seamless customer experiences. In a world where adaptability reigns supreme, commercial line P&C insurers must embrace intelligent workbench solutions to not only survive, but to lead the charge in revolutionizing the insurance underwriting industry," said Davide Palanza, research manager, IDC Financial Insights.

Authors:
Summary
This IDC Presentation aims to help technology vendors understand what drives buyers within the financial services industry in their technology purchasing decisions. Although a number of sections in this presentation focus predominantly on the banking sector, the major findings and trends are applicable across the financial services industry.
Vendors can use this Handbook to:
- Align the company's proposition with the buyer's strategic priorities.
- Position the technology offering to respond to the buyer's business objectives.
- Develop a compelling narrative that resonates with the buyer's requirements.
- Identify the key decision makers within the buyer's organization.
Technology vendor executives in areas, including marketing, sales, and product strategy, can leverage the insight from this Handbook to inform and formulate their approach with buyers within the financial services industry. The insight provided in this Handbook is largely based on IDC survey data but also leverages senior IDC analysts' knowledge, IDC research, and ongoing conversations with key industry players.
"Technology suppliers covering the financial services industry are in a unique position to leverage their expertise and experience to support financial institutions in these difficult economic times. In order to differentiate themselves from the competition, technology suppliers should seek to provide more than just technology solutions; they should provide technology guidance. Taking a strategic approach, rather than a pure technology one, will lay the groundwork for long-term partnership with financial organizations, which is why it is vital that technology providers take the time to understand the industry's strategic priorities and their respective challenges," says Abhishek Kumar, associate research director, IDC Financial Insights.

Summary
This IDC Market Perspective provides a detailed description of IDC's new worldwide industry taxonomy. It should be viewed as a guide to help navigate the transition from the old taxonomy to the new framework. Technology suppliers may utilize this approach and structure as inspiration as they evaluate their own industry strategy and organization.
"The development of a new industry taxonomy was not taken lightly or completed in isolation," said Serena Da Rold, associate research director, IDC's Data and Analytics. "IDC spent a year researching existing industry taxonomies. In this time, we conducted a study of economic standards, client inquiries, tech vendor industry taxonomies, and competitive taxonomies."
Program Vice President Eileen Smith added, "The conclusion was that a restructuring of the industry segmentation within IDC's taxonomy was necessary to keep clients informed to the degree expected in the modern world. With more thoughtful categorization and granular segmentation, IDC data users are better equipped to identify, analyze, validate, and action questions and insights specific to the industries they serve."

It defines four strategic priorities to accomplish the digital mission, namely omni-experience engagement, usage- and value-oriented offerings, frictionless insurance, and cognitive competency building. It also defines separate programs or initiatives that support each strategic priority. Under each program are a set of use cases, which are discretely funded efforts supporting a program objective.
"In the midst of a profound transformation fueled by market turbulence, evolving consumer expectations, and technological advancements, the insurance industry must prioritize digital resilience and aim for antifragility," said Davide Palanza, research manager, IDC Financial Insights. "By employing scenario-based digital strategies and agile adaptation, they can adeptly divert to new uncharted paths dictated by evolving circumstances, maximizing their potential for a resounding success."

Building upon AI and ML to Smooth Out AML: Key Trends, Perspectives, and Challenges
Aug-23 DOC # US50795523 Insight
Authors:
Summary
This IDC Perspective illustrates trends and challenges that banks must cope with in managing anti-money laundering (AML) risks and in fighting financial crime activities. Corporate banks must fulfill mandatory regulatory requirements defined across multiple jurisdictions and that are evolving over time. Financial organizations must ensure that while supporting their corporate customers' businesses, they are undertaking all appropriate measures to verify that their customers' transactions do not entail fraudulent activities; this way, they protect the bank-self, the customer, and the whole financial system and preserve the industry's trustworthiness. To properly act as trust gatekeepers, banks must adopt robust risk management procedures and properly deploy resources in terms of people, processes, and technologies. Since the fight against financial crime is a moving target, financial organizations must ensure that they periodically review their frameworks to stay up to date with evolving best practices, and that they adopt the best available technologies.
"Given the overwhelming amount of data to be processed along the AML process, banks must adopt solutions that leverage AI and ML technologies to achieve more efficient and accurate money laundering detection. Thanks to the these technologies, AML tools can evolve to counter criminal actors' creativity," said Maria Adele Di Comite, research director at IDC Financial Insights.

Are Insurers Ready to Ride the Gig Economy Wave of Opportunities?
Aug-23 DOC # EUR151107023 Presentation
Authors:
Summary
The IDC Survey Spotlight examines key insights from two surveys conducted by IDC: the Financial Insight Survey, February 2022) and IDC EMEA's Future of Work B2B Survey (March 2022). This summary delves into the gig economy's implications for insurers, revealing both external market opportunities and internal talent development prospects. The gig economy, characterized by short-term contracts and freelancing, has created a chance for insurers to create specialized products catering to gig workers' needs. Traditional insurance may not cover their unique risks and uncertainties such as lack of health insurance, and job stability. Insurers can design tailored health insurance and income protection policies to address these gaps, providing financial security to gig workers during periods of illness or injury. This targeted approach not only benefits the workforce but also creates appealing products for a growing market segment.
Moreover, embracing the gig economy offers insurers the opportunity to bridge talent gaps within their organizations. They can access specialized skills and expertise on a project-by-project basis, including digital AI knowledge and critical roles such as actuaries and underwriters. The flexibility of gig arrangements also enables retired professionals to contribute their experience. This approach creates a dynamic and adaptive workforce, enabling insurers to respond to changing market demands and maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving industry.

Industry Performance Indices: Worldwide Banking, 2023
Jul-23 DOC # US49869823 Presentation
Authors:
Summary
This IDC Presentation includes financial industry insights based on the analysis of over 800 global banks to determine the impact of digital transformation (DX) efforts on financial efficiency.
IDC's Financial Insights team conducted a study on the impact of DX activities on banks to determine:
- The degree of the DX occurring within organizations
- The effects of DX initiatives on the organization's financial efficiency outcomes
Through this report, readers will be able to understand the correlation between return on assets (ROA) and return on common equity (ROCE) performance and coordinated DX efforts for banks. This metric effectively demonstrates DX's significance in supporting organizations' financial efficiency and is useful for vendors when talking to customers about increasing their digital capabilities.
"Well-coordinated digital initiatives, specifically focusing on emerging technologies such as AI and cloud implementation, transitioning banks to transformative champions are resulting in higher-than-average performance in terms of financial efficiency growth," says Ravikant Sharma, senior research manager at Industry Insights Group in IDC Asia/Pacific.
"IDC intrinsically believes that digital transformation makes the banks more competitive and efficient. The market always wanted a quantitative tool to help elucidate this perspective. We now have empirical evidence that the banks that spend more on transformation actually do better. This study is watershed to that extent," says Ashish Kakar, director, IDC Financial Insights, Asia/Pacific
Xiao Liu, research manager, IDC Financial Insights Asia/Pacific says, "ROA and ROCE are key metrics for banks, offering insights into profitability, operational efficiency, and the ability to generate investment returns. They are particularly crucial during uncertain economic conditions. The correlation between digital maturity defined in this study and the growth of these metrics indicates that banks should prioritize transformative technologies to achieve strategic objectives and financial goals more efficiently."

Asset Management Investments as an Indicator of Adoption of AI and Technology in Asia's Financial Services
Jul-23 DOC # AP50379523 Insight
Authors:
Summary
This IDC study reviewed US$2.5 billion of recent venture capital investments across Asian fintech startups. We have been able to identify several use cases of potential technology investments for both the technology suppliers and buyers. These use cases have a few aspects in common. Less than 10% are totally new business models, whereas 90% are improvements on the existing model; they are largely AI-driven and are nicely distributed between proof of concept (75%) and scale-ups (25%).
"As a banker and an insurer, I often wondered why financial services hesitated to adopt new technologies. I often thought it was due to the close regulatory monitoring. Reviewing these use cases, I think banks may be missing a trick. These are intuitively simple; and can lead to drastic improvements," said Ashish Kakar, research director, IDC Financial Insights.

Does AI Really Ensure Fair Lending?
Jun-23 DOC # lcUS51004523 IDC Blink
Authors:
Summary
As discussed in a recent article from the Credit Union Times, artificial intelligence (AI) is not, by itself, the perfect solution to ensure fair lending as is assumed by many observers. AI is presenting various challenges to financial institutions (FIs) because AI risks can outweigh its benefits. Many smaller financial institutions do not have the tech expertise and financial resources to invest in and then maintain complex AI systems. Lenders of any size using AI are subject to continuing regulatory scrutiny for possible violations of fair lending laws.
