For a financial services firm, managing this can be very challenging. A Forrester study found that 57% of financial organizations are still developing the necessary internal capabilities to fully leverage agentic AI. \u201c<\/strong>The data exists in many different formats, created over the course of a bank\u2019s history,\u201d says Mayzak. \u201cTake any bank that’s been around for 50 years: They might have 60 different types of PDFs for the exact same thing. And at the same time, we want the output of these systems to be 100% accurate. In many cases, there is no \u2018good enough\u2019.\u201d That is, companies need to do it right, and the first time.<\/p>\n

Searching and securing results\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An effective search platform is key to solving the problem of fragmented, poorly indexed, inaccessible data. Financial services companies that can readily sift through both their structured and unstructured data, keep it secure, and apply it in the right context will get the most value from agentic AI. This often requires designing AI systems with data access and utility in mind so they can work faster and yield more accurate results, as well as reduce risk. \u201cSearch is the foundational technology that makes AI accurate and grounded in real data,\u201d Mayzak says. \u201cSearch platforms have become the authoritative context and memory stores that will power this AI revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once in place, these AI-enhanced searches and autonomous systems can serve financial services companies for a range of purposes. When monitoring client exposure, agentic AI can continuously scan transactions, market signals, and external data to detect emerging risks; platforms can then automatically flag or escalate issues in real time. In trade monitoring, AI agents can review trade workflows, identify discrepancies across different formats, and resolve exceptions step by step with minimal human intervention. In regulatory reporting, AI can gather data from across systems, generate required reports, and track how each output was…<\/p>\n
