A joint survey conducted by Eagle Investment Systems and Hegarty Group specifically identifies how asset managers are deploying emerging technologies. The bigger question for many, also addressed, is how organizations can take the necessary steps today to access the impending wave of innovation. Nothing stirs the imagination quite like the hopes and fears that accompany new, disruptive technologies. If observers believed every headline, though, they’d be preparing for a not-too-distant future without human accountants (courtesy of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and robotics process automation (RPA)) or even fiat money (given the rise of cryptocurrencies and blockchain). Yet, as awareness grows, hope typically turns to action and even the most acute fears fade as practitioners recognize both the challenge of adopting new technologies and the complementary value they can have on day-to-day operations.
