Digital transformation is everywhere. It's in the networks of consumer data that tell a story of who we are and how we behave. It's in the bank branch or insurance agency that moves and shifts towards providing financial products through an online customer experience. It's in the palm of our hands as we text, swipe, and tap our way to faster answers and instant gratification.

Digital transformation is everywhere, and in order for businesses to benefit and stay competitive, they must join the advanced analytics game. Businesses will feel the biggest benefit and impact when they utilize big data, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital decisioning technology to do the following:

– Automate operational decisions in real time with confidence
– Digitally transform their operations to not only impact business performance, but also, improve the customer experience
– Compete on analytics without extra headcount or hiring of data scientists

Through the power of data, machine learning, and digital decisioning technology, business users can quickly and accurately achieve the above business milestones — no data scientists required. From there the automation and digital transformation possibilities are limitless for creating a rich and seamless customer experience that will keep your business one step ahead of the competition.

Since the advent of computers, analytics has benefited business by turning meaningful patterns in data that would be missed by humans into actionable insights and information. Today, further innovation around analytics is made possible through gains in automation and machine learning. Digital decisioning leverages these advanced technologies by turning predictive models and inputs including business rules and third-party data into decision flows that can be used to make business decisions around risk mitigation and management.

In this webinar, expert Sean Naismith, head of analytics services at Enova Decisions, will explain how businesses can utilize digital decisioning to vastly improve operational decision-making capabilities and create measurable results around credit risk, fraud, operations and marketing.
