Overview
EXL began in AI in mid-2006 with the acquisition of Inductis, a consulting and analytics company, which had been engaged in artificial intelligence consulting since 2000. EXL’s RPA services started in 2010; unlike most other vendors of operations automation services, EXL’s RPA services started later than AI.
To date, RPA and AI remain primarily separate services and projects. AI is delivered from the analytics products group and RPA from the advanced automation group.
In AI, EXL considers machine learning, which is a primary focus of AI in most process automation engagements, to be a subset of artificial intelligence. EXL has chosen not to focus on machine learning engagements, but rather to focus on legacy Inductis’ competencies in analytics specifically:
- Sales optimization
- Data visualization (e.g., portfolio analysis and performance attribution)
- KYC/AML data analysis.
In RPA, EXL has chosen to focus on data aggregation services such as Dodd-Frank remediation, FATCA, and KYC.
