Investor update summary
9 Jun, 2026AI and GenAI Strategy Overview
The strategy is built on three pillars: connected intelligence, agentic workflows/solutions, and broad distribution through partnerships to meet customers where they work with AI.
Connected intelligence leverages proprietary, curated, decision-grade data and deep domain expertise, forming the foundation for auditable, workflow-ready agents.
Agentic workflows focus on high-stakes areas such as credit risk, KYC, and insurance, where poor decisions have significant financial or regulatory consequences.
The strategy aims to meet customer needs across all stages of GenAI maturity and unlock new buyer personas.
AI adoption is driving higher customer retention, deeper client integration, and new revenue streams.
