AFG Drives Frictionless Home Loans with Oracle Cloud by Daryl Eicher

image

Andrew McGee, IT Manager of Business Services for AFG Home Loans, began his transformation journey with a simple question. How much of his IT spend was going to innovation? As a financial services company facing new competition from specialized fintech vendors, Andrew knew they needed to increase their innovation capacity, and he looked to the Oracle Cloud for answers. I got to speak with Andrew about his amazing journey and how it’s transformed the way his team engages with business leaders.

Moving their workloads to the cloud relieved IT from more mundane activities and saved on data center costs. In their quest to take the friction out of the end to end home loan process, Andrew and his team retooled with Oracle’s Cloud Platform with Autonomous Services. Now, new hires are able to immediately contribute to innovation efforts, and based on a track record of quick wins that scale, his team spends more time obsessing on simplifying every aspect of approving and funding the 10,000 home loans per month AFG brokers manage. 

Andrew’s vision of frictionless home loans is working for AFG. In the time he has led his team on this journey, he’s seen a 3X increase in innovation capacity. With Oracle Cloud Platform’s hybrid integration and automation, Andrew now has a practical path to adopt disruptive technologies such as conversational AIs, Blockchain, and Robotic Process Automation. And like his colleague shares in  3 Ways National Pharmacies is Creating the Future of Work, the result is more engaged and energized IT pros that find new ways to monetize and secure their digital future.

Is it working?

· Molecular Dynamics for the Masses
Using Interactive Scientific’s simulation platform, students can understand molecules by interacting with 3D models and researchers can investigate ways to design and deliver drug molecules. By using compute power and accessibility via Oracle Cloud, Interactive Scientific can make its technology available on smartphones, tablets, PCs, and even virtual reality headsets, says CEO Becky Sage. From zero to cloud in six months.

· Blockchain Apps Get Ever More Palatable Blockchain is so easy to use that “now even your corner brewer” can use it, said Oracle’s Chuck Hollis at Oracle OpenWorld. Indeed, beer maker Alpha Acid Brewing now marks its bottles with blockchain-verified authenticity labels. And it isn’t the only company coming up with creative ways to use the distributed ledger software.

· Global Shipping Consortium Built on Blockchain Technology Nine leading ocean carriers and terminal operators are forming a consortium to develop the Global Shipping Business Network, an open digital platform based on distributed ledger technology. Using blockchain technology, members of the network will be able to carry out what were previously siloed shipment data and management procedures. “This unprecedented transparency will restore trust in the industry,” says Steve Siu, CEO of CargoSmart, a member of the consortium.

Machine Learning — Getting Data Into Right Shape by Andrejus Baranovskis

image

When you build machine learning model, first start with the data — make sure input data is prepared well and it represents true state of what you want machine learning model to learn. Data preparation task takes time, but don’t hurry — quality data is a key for machine learning success. In this post I will go through essential steps required to bring data into right shape to feed it into machine learning algorithm.

Sample dataset and Python notebook for this post can be downloaded from my GitHub repo.

Each row from dataset represents invoice which was sent to customer. Original dataset extracted from ERP system comes with five columns:

customer — customer ID

invoice_date — date when invoice was created

payment_due_date — expected invoice payment date

payment_date — actual invoice payment date

grand_total — invoice total
