In our latest publication, we explore the transformative impact of generative AI on the schriftlich fixierte Ordnung (sfO) in banks. This innovative technology enables efficient management of extensive documents and process descriptions while providing consistent and easily accessible information. The use of generative AI minimizes the effort required for updates and enhances the clarity of the sfO.

Generative AI allows information from various sources to be consolidated and provided in a structured, centrally accessible format. This technology not only supports consistency checks of the existing sfO but also facilitates the integration of new processes and adjustments due to regulatory requirements. Our approach includes technical structuring of information, demand-driven accessibility, and expert support for quality assurance.

A key advantage of generative AI is the scalable use of the sfO. By preparing the information in a knowledge base and making it available through a chatbot, employees can quickly and efficiently access relevant information without lengthy searches. This not only boosts efficiency but also increases employee acceptance of the sfO.

The implementation of generative AI in the sfO requires a strategic approach. It is essential to consider technical and legal frameworks to ensure the security and confidentiality of data. Our experience shows that a gradual approach, starting with small pilot projects, delivers the best results. This allows the necessary prerequisites to be established step by step and the technology to be integrated into existing structures.

Our expertise at Horn & Company helps banks fully leverage the benefits of generative AI and make their sfO future-proof. By implementing this technology, we create a user-friendly, consistent, and up-to-date knowledge base that meets the demands of modern banking.
