Problem

Customer documents were scattered across legacy systems as scans and PDFs. Compliance officers manually located and checked records for regulatory reviews.

Approach

RAKBANK used Azure AI services to extract information and classify documents after a successful proof of concept. It stored extracted information in Azure Blob Storage and added Azure AI Search. Compliance teams could search customer records and identify missing or expired documents.
