The aim of the Future of Finance initiative, delivered in partnership
with Deloitte, is to reward finance departments that have performed
outstandingly in the innovation, digitization and modernization of their
operations. The first Digital Finance Awards, held in March 2019, have
rewarded the best initiatives in the digital transformation of finance
operations. Société Générale submitted its Scribe platform, a project
using the agile development method, to the Digital Finance Awards. In
2017, the finance department at Société Générale identified the
potential of AI and initiated a testing prototype using Yseop’s NLG
solution, to optimize the time-consuming writing of financial reports
commentaries, which are produced in great volumes.
Since 2015, Addventa, Yseop’s partner on the project, has been working
closely with Société Générale, a pioneer in the use of NLG. By
automating report writing, Yseop’s NLG platform delivers a reduction of
up to 80% in production time for commentaries, offering an improvement
in operational efficiency, standardization of report quality and putting
analysts’ value creation to better use. It has been rolled out to other
areas and is contributing to a dramatic long-term transformation of all
business processes.
Emmanuel Walckenaer, CEO of Yseop, said “Our ambition is to place
our AI and NLG know-how at the service of organizations and end users,
putting an end to the rivalry between technology and the human
dimension. We are proud to see our solutions becoming a mainstay of a
digitization program as successful as that of Société Générale, which
has successfully met the challenge of innovation.”
Philippe Charpentier, Head of the Digital & Innovation Office at
Société Générale’s Finance Department, added “Yseop’s NLG solution
gave us a way to enrich analyses by combining the speed and calculating
power of new technologies with human analytical skills. This award
highlights the specific achievements of Société Générale’s Finance
Department in innovation, and acknowledges the excellent work done by
all the teams involved, both inside and outside the company.”
