Strategy

• The global banking industry is undergoing a seismic digital transformation as client expectations have become increasingly sophisticated and time sensitive.
• At the heart of these is the desire for an improved client experience without delays – be that new features delivered faster to market or faster responses to functional queries. Standard Chartered Bank is creating and redefining the digital agenda from innovations.
• Living by the Bank’s ‘never settle’ valued behaviour and fostering a mindset of innovation, we are constantly experimenting new approaches to serve our clients better with a superlative experience.
• Our future and aspirations look stronger than where we are today as we embrace and accelerate our path to a digital first and data driven future.
• Keeping ‘Clients first’, we want to make sure that we continue to be the international network of choice.
• We continue to strive to be tech-first, digitally savvy company and differentiate in our core footprint markets and to offer digital services that are far superior to anything else.
• We have a more open architecture approach that allow us more seamless technology integration with third party services while unleashing integrated capabilities that will be more challenging for our competitors to replicate.
• Our Data Science and Innovation team are an area of strength for us as we leverage machine learning, artificial intelligence and quantum computing to drive unique and powerful business insights.
• There is a strong focus on digital platforms such as Cloud to improve flexibility and ease of use in infrastructure, platforms and applications, real-time transactions, or plug-and-play services from multiple partners for a seamless client experience. As clients move to digital channels, the volume growth in transactions across mobile and API channels grows exponentially.
• This requires availability of services 24/7 and drives our need to have Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps). Aggregating data, co-relating events and prompting automated decision trees for automated and manual action is at the center of our AIOps Strategy. AIOps drives seamless recovery of services by triggering real-time triage and /or automated recovery of services.
• Availability of services 24/7 will increase client affinity and this AIOps platform will support our competitive advantage by making services “Always On”.
• The approach to AIOps with Functional Distributed Tracing (FDT) of business transactions across various systems built on disparate technologies for multiple E2E Customer Journeys is the key differentiator for us in the industry as this innovative capability is not commercially available in the technology marketplace.
• The overarching principle of the AIOps strategy has been to anticipate and predict problems and provide adequate decision support to trigger events that in turn trigger action. The key performance indicators are reduction in client impacting incidents and this has been seeing a constant downward trend ( 20%) and we tend to anticipate problems significantly better ( 40%) than where we were 6 months ago.

Business

• In order to meet client’s expectations towards instantaneous interaction with our services and to have information “right now”, banking services are getting digitized significantly and rapidly.
• This expectation of clients galvanizes the need for internal transparency and traceability of every client transaction end to end (E2E) throughout its journey.
• Transactions in the E2E client journey typically change states and traverse across multiple systems built with disparate technologies.
• This poses an extremely complex challenge, addressing which drives internal digitization requiring information to be synthesized, and anomalies set to context while delivering insights at scale across services, products, clients and geographies. Skynet is built to solve this challenge and initiate our artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) journey by implementing big data, advanced analytics and machine learning (ML).
• Skynet can ingest the tune of 2.1 billion data markers in one day across 4 markets, 6 key business services and 15 E2E client journeys which allows production engineering teams to have information “right now” and react to the aberrations instantaneously. Push notifications and text to speech digitized calls with skip up escalations enable first responders to react instantaneously.
