EY US has partnered with AI SaaS company SymphonyAI to help digitally transform organisations with generative AI-enabled retail and financial services platforms. The strategic partnership offers enterprises predictive and generative AI software implementation at scale to improve efficiency and business performance.

Digital transformation and what the EY – SymphonyAI collaboration entails Based on the information detailed in the press release, the EY – SymphonyAI alliance is set to focus on financial crime prevention and regulatory compliance, which is an increasing concern for large financial customers, as fraudsters grow more sophisticated in conducting fraudulent transactions, evasion of sanctions, and money laundering. Complementing the SymphonyAI Sensa-NetReveal suite, EY US’ business knowledge, implementation experience, and digital transformation capabilities seek to assist clients with identifying and investigating suspicious activities in an expedited and increasingly accurate manner. The partnership will also support the expansion of AI-based solution delivery for retailers, including computer vision-based intelligence capabilities to better store operations.

Furthermore, it will help improve customer experience and digital-industrial manufacturing through asset management and worker connection solutions, which are purposed to further operations, yields, and safety. When commenting on the announcement, Greg Sarafin, EY Global Partner Ecosystem Leader said that as the power of AI in business is clear, working with SymphonyAI is set to bring successful AI deployments to organisations worldwide. In the initial stage, the companies are partnering to help enable financial institutions to level the playing field and meet regulatory, alongside societal expectations for fraud detection and prevention in a more consistent, rapid, and effective manner.

Further adding on this, Kumar Abhimanyu, SymphonyAI Senior VP and Global Head of Strategic Partnerships expressed that the company is looking forward to collaborating with EY US on financial technology and beyond, advancing capabilities that drive increased productivity, accuracy, and business impact. The spokesperson believes the power of SymphonyAI’s innovative solutions and the business and technology transformation knowledge of EY US, complemented by the extensive vertical experience in both organisations, to help unlock business value around the world.
