Are such long lead times efficient and responsive in today’s fast-changing interconnected world? The answer is a resounding no.
Many banks have still not effectively tapped into the power of automated decision-making.

This Risk.net whitepaper, commissioned by SAS, explores decision science and automation, and the efficiencies it brings, and offers insight into why automation – married with adaptable analytics – is now crucial.
