The HFS/Iron Mountain survey found that 78% of senior executives believe that failure to digitize could result in permanent competitive irrelevance for their companies. Process reinvention involves rethinking how work is done, using automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and modular technologies that adapt to process change.
A new survey of more than 500 senior BFSI executives conducted by HFS Research in partnership with Iron Mountain underscores the challenges their institutions face. Nearly 78% of executives said failure to digitize could result in permanent competitive irrelevance, yet only one in five firms is taking decisive steps to replace the traditional back office.
