    Across the BFSI landscape, banks, insurers, and financial institutions are under mounting pressure to reduce costs, enhance customer satisfaction, and remain compliant—all while delivering measurable value in a volatile economic environment. Traditional effort-based service models are quickly becoming outdated as Gen AI and agentic AI drive fundamental transformation across operations. Watch Everest Group experts Ronak Doshi, Partner, Abhimanyu Awasthi, Practice Director, Kriti Gupta, Practice Director, and Sakshi Maurya, Senior Analyst, for a dynamic webinar that explored the emergence of Systems of Action (SoA), a set of intelligent, autonomous platforms integrating data, insights, AI-driven decisions to automatically orchestrate enterprise-wide actions in real time. The discussion unpacked the evolution of traditional systems of record to intelligent systems of action in banking, capital markets, financial crime compliance (FCC), and insurance segments. It also highlighted how SoA builders can combine data activation, decisioning, process orchestration, and execution as the key to unlocking future value in BFSI. As sourcing challenges become more complex, the panel will also delve into how innovation-led, agile partnerships are becoming essential. What questions did the webinar answer for the participants? How will service delivery value measures evolve in the BFSI landscape and beyond? How can systems of action (SOA) builders—encompassing data activation, decisioning, orchestration, and security—be effectively applied within the BFSI sector? In what ways will Gen AI and agentic AI transform processes and reshape the perception of value across IT, tech, ops, and service delivery? What strategies can enterprises, GBS, and providers adopt to effectively articulate and deliver measurable, outcome-driven value?
