The Challenge

Fragmented Systems Undermine AI Implementation

Investment banking is an industry driven by precision and speed. Analysts face the daunting challenge of managing massive amounts of data, building intricate financial models, and meeting tight deadlines.

Despite investing heavily in Microsoft Copilot to enhance workflows, the firm encountered significant obstacles during implementation, such as:

• Fragmented knowledge across internal and external systems.
• Critical data in CRMs, SQL databases, market intelligence tools, and proprietary systems that lacked integration.
• Manual processes for preparing client engagements and pitches due to siloed data.

These inefficiencies impacted decision-making, slowed deal velocity, and added unnecessary stress to the analysts’ workload.
