Leveraging innovative technologies and architectural approaches such as micro expressions analytics and micro services architecture, successfully evolved the company from standardization to modularization to automation and eventually to intelligence. Through intelligent OCR and iPad APP, Project “Jaguar” enabled paperless, data-based, automated, and mobile business operations. Multiple manual operations were eliminated, resulting in increased productivity by 40%; on-site investigation was shortened from 3 days to 0.5 days, and the average loan approval time was optimized from 7 days to 3 days.
