CGI IMPLEMENTS MULTI-AGENT AI SOLUTION FOR SOK FINANCE TO ACCELERATE FINANCIAL SERVICE OPERATIONS

CGI Inc. has implemented a multiagent AI (artificial intelligence) solution built on AWS Bedrock for SOK Finance to bring AI into production use in financial administration and customer service. The solution significantly accelerates processes such as invoice copy requests and due date changes, improving efficiency and consistency compared with previous manual handling.

The solution was deployed in SOK Finance's Palveluassa service centre, which provides financial management and payroll services for the S Group, a customer-owned Finnish network of retail and service companies with approximately 2,000 outlets.

"Service centres handle a high volume of routine tasks, and we see AI agents offering significant potential to automate them. We wanted to test new technology in real processes and explore how AI can support service centre work. CGI's experts listened to our needs and built the solution in close collaboration with us," said Aki Okkonen, head of shared service center, SOK Finance.

While many organizations are still piloting AI solutions, the collaboration between SOK Finance and CGI has moved this solution into production use, demonstrating how AI can deliver value in day-to-day financial service operations.

"In this solution, AI agents process incoming customer service messages, retrieve required data from back-end systems and automatically execute parts of the process. This improves workflow consistency and efficiency. At the same time, our experts can focus on cases that require human judgment and service," said Mervi Koponen, director of development, SOK Finance.

CGI was responsible for the design, implementation and deployment of the solution, as well as its integration with SOK Finance's key systems.

"Many AI initiatives remain at the pilot stage, but real business value is achieved when solutions become part of everyday operations. SOK Finance has been a frontrunner in this respect: the multiagent solution built on AWS Bedrock was successfully deployed into production, demonstrating how AI can be applied in a practical way to strengthen financial administration customer service," said Katja Vuokila, director, consulting services responsible for the delivery at CGI.
