SBI Neo Financial Services Representative Director, Yoshitaka Kitao, commented, "AntWork's platform uses AI for CMR and RPA on their platform which enables the machine to recognize unstructured data. This Intelligent AI is the next generation RPA technology. It will realize the true automation in the office just like it happened in factories in Japan in 1950's and 1960's. Japan is now facing the labor shortage because of the decrease in population. Intelligent RPA is the solution to this situation. SBI Neo Financial Services is going to deliver this technology not only to the regional banks but also other companies in Japan. Moreover we are ready to bring this intelligent RPA to Asian countries through our bases in the region. This will accelerate the growth of Asian countries by increasing the productivity of operations in companies."
AntWorks CEO and Co-Founder, Asheesh Mehra, commented, "I am very excited with signing of this Joint Venture as it strengthens the relationship between SBI and AntWorks. This partnership will enable the accelerated penetration of the East Asia and Southeast Asian marketplaces for AntWorks and will bring to the forefront the strength of the AntWorks' ANTstein Enterprise Intelligent Automation Platform." Mr. Mehra also added, "With the deep relationships SBI hold, this partnership will enable AntWorks to be part of the significant change that will take place, both at an enterprise-level, and in future back office operations, in delighting its customers in the region using a digital workforce."
