THE CHALLENGE

How do you connect a complex process across documents, systems and teams?

Financial services and insurance teams coordinate work through emails, spreadsheets and documents. Different data layouts, manual handoffs and disconnected status tracking make it harder to see who owns the next step or how an exception was resolved. The opportunity is to connect data interpretation with a controlled operational workflow.

FROM DATA TO DECISION

A process you can understand and evaluate.

01

Bring information into the case

Capture the relevant documents and data. Map client-specific inputs to the fields needed by the process and keep the source context.

02

Validate and route exceptions

Apply the agreed checks and send issues to the responsible reviewer. Keep case status, ownership and follow-up tasks connected.

03

Review and approve

Let named people verify findings and control the decision. Record changes, sign-off and supporting information as the case progresses.

Starting data

  • Documents and email attachments
  • Client-specific Excel data
  • Case rules and approval responsibilities

Decisions you can evaluate

  • Validation exceptions
  • Reconciliation breaks
  • Case progression and sign-off

Technology that serves the problem

The solution combines iQsuite workflow orchestration with NextBrain AI-assisted interpretation of structured and unstructured data. Configurable routing connects forms, mapping, validation, review and approval, with responsibilities defined for each process.

iQ WORKFLOW + NEXTBRAIN AI

AI Workflow Automation for Capital Markets and Insurance

Financial services and insurance processes often cross several teams, documents and systems. iQ + NextBrain connects configurable case routing with AI-assisted data handling to bring those steps into one controlled workflow. The focus is the operational process: intake, mapping, checks, exception handling and approval.

Workflow orchestration and AI data handling

iQsuite coordinates the process

Online forms, case routing and configured workflow steps organize intake, review and approval. Named owners and visible status help teams follow the work across handoffs.

NextBrain interprets the information

The AI layer handles structured and unstructured inputs, including documents and spreadsheets. Client-specific Excel mapping schemas help align different source layouts with the information needed by the process.

WORKFLOW USE CASE

Delegated Authority and Bordereaux Management

iQ and NextBrain delegated authority workflow: document intake, flexible mapping, validation, exception review and audit trail.

Coverholders and managing general agents (MGAs) submit premium, claims and risk bordereaux in different layouts. Re-keying each file and checking it against binder requirements can fragment the process and make corrections difficult to trace.

Margin and Collateral Reconciliation

Margin and collateral workflow combining CCP, custodian and counterparty data with reconciliation, exceptions and approval.

Margin and collateral information arrives from central counterparties (CCPs), custodians and counterparty notices, across feeds and documents. Teams need to reconcile the figures, investigate breaks and prepare a consistent position for review.

Submission emails, spreadsheets and supporting documents can leave an underwriting case split across inboxes and teams. Missing information, related records and unclear ownership make the next action harder to identify.
