Enhance contract visibility and searchability with AI

Enhance contract visibility and searchability at Aon with AI

Insurance brokers like Aon get into contracts with multiple insurance companies (insurers/underwriters) as well as business entities (seeking underwriting services), and the number of these contracts can run into thousands every year. After Aon’s acquisition of Willis Tower Watson there will be a need to process thousands of WTWs existing contracts and digitize them along with Aon’s own contracts.

Contract negotiation, tracking and review to ensure contract compliance are key activities involving a sizable team of lawyers, process SME’s and is a manually intensive process. These contracts govern how business is conducted and are governed by the law of the land. Not understanding legal obligations could lead to legal issues and incurring unnecessary expenses. And a failure to maintain effective control processes over contracts could lead to violations, unintentional or otherwise, of laws and regulations. Legal claims or regulatory enforcement actions arising out of failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could be very damaging to the organizational reputation.

Managing & analyzing multiple contracts with different stakeholders is a human intensive process and involves high costs incurred as fees of legal experts and legal process SME’s, the process is also slow and time consuming. The need is to automate the contract analysis and review process to get better visibility and searchability across contracts to identify the right clauses to watch out for, to keep a track of expiring contracts, or to identify any policies being violated by any of the involved parties in the network.

Create intelligent document processes with AI

Create intelligent document processes at Aon with AI

Aon assists clients to compile relevant documentation to support the claim process and there is an increasing demand from healthcare clients to manage and adjudicate non-medical claims against agreed scheme rules. For simple claims, the claim amount, claim type and provider needs to be validated against the receipt image either printed or handwritten to confirm the match. This requires manual intervention to extract and validate data. Manual interventions pose usual challenges like adding delays in the claim processing, manual errors and additional auditing needs.

Apart from assistance in claim processing, there is a need to automate the following processes to improve the productivity and performance metrics:

  • Digitizing policy documents issued by Aon (known as Binder) which has Contract document, Addendum, Enclosures etc. and extracting the relevant information

  • Digitizing the data of clients’ pension and retiree welfare plan participants in order to extract relevant information and matching this data with previous year’s records to accurately calculate plan liabilities

  • Creating and digitizing Certificate of Insurance and extracting relevant information from the same

Enabled by Nia DocAI and AssistEdge RPA

Nia DocAI helps with data extraction from a wide variety of document formats, automated classification of different documents, section identification and extraction of required fields ensuring accuracy. It provides a learning & review workbench for display of extracted data and human review for continued learning. Its access control provides a persona and workgroup based document display on the workbench.
NIA DocAI makes the extracted data available to the downstream application in json message format.

Know More

AssistEdge RPA’s software robots act as a downstream to DocAI  and consumes  the data for further processing. Its rich set of technology adapters and strong automation capabilities help not only in reading the document data received in the json but also in doing an end to end automation of repetitive tasks. It has capability to validate and massage the data, applying business rules, login to applications with specific roles, feeding data into ERP and multiple other systems and performing further tasks in the business process.

This helps in significantly improving the process efficiency with automation and making them as touchless as possible.

Reduce process discovery time with AI and RPA

Reduce process discovery time at Aon with AI and RPA

Process discovery is a manual activity which takes up precious SME time and effort and can also introduce human bias. 
Process automation is one of the key levers for reducing the cost of operations and making them efficient. After starting the automation drive, building process pipeline for automation is key to scale the automation initiative. Most of the time, there is no clarity on the sequence in which processes should be picked for automation. Picking up a process for automation, without taking into consideration the variations, might lead to building automations which are not robust. Knowledge of the exact process is required as the documented SOP’s may not be up to date. Processes executed by the operations team on ground may not be the exact documented process and the variation scenarios in the process may not be captured.

The need is to have an automated and scalable way of discovering the processes with its variations, along with having a prioritized process pipeline which can then be picked for automation.​

Enabled by AssistEdge Discover​

AssistEdge Discover client is deployed on the desktops of operations agents of different processes. ​It captures the user interactions with systems, the click streams and keystrokes. The data from different agents performing the same processes are combined and run through AI algorithms, which capture the exact process executed.​ This helps to identify the process map and blueprint of the process along with the alternate paths, frequency and time taken per step. The process maps are validated with SME’s in significantly less time and application control metadata captured from agent interaction with the application helps build the automations faster.​ This also provides insights on which process is to be considered for unattended automation (RPA) and where attended automation (Engage) provides better ROI.​

Reduce dependency on human resources with RPA for Testing

Reduce dependency on human resources at Aon with RPA for Testing

In the age of digital transformation, large companies like AXA look at automation as the first and key lever to optimize every area of application maintenance & support operations including testing and validation, using varies tools for performing test automation.

Traditional test automation has some limitations on various fronts like different tools support automating a particular type of application testing like Selenium for web applications and UFT for web and desktop applications. Whereas the RPA approach is platform independent and can be used to automate web, desktop, mainframe based applications and those running on virtual machines like Citrix.

The traditional test automation approach is also costly in the long run and requires high technical expertise to write the test scripts and has limited configurability which is not all encompassing.

The need is to have a comprehensive automated testing capability to handle:

  • Life Cycle Test Automation – Business Flow Automation involving multiple technologies and platforms

  • Test Data Management – Test data generation involving multiple applications, time intervals, realtime and transactional

  • Citrix / Legacy Automation – surface automation image recognition and OCR

  • Unstructured Data Processing – Bank statements, letters, cheques and inbound and outbound correspondences

  • Non-Core Automation – Reconciliations, Job Monitoring, Metrics Reporting and Data Migrations

  • User Acceptance Testing – Business centric test automation
