Deemed as one of the marvels of the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI), is predicted to open a gateway of opportunities for new businesses. The reality is that smart companies are implementing AI in existing processes today to ensure they are well-positioned to deal with a threatening and hyper-competitive business landscape. In 2019, growing Australian company Civium undertook a journey with solutions provider Winning Formula to deploy AI and robotic process automation (RPA) to deliver new levels of efficiency throughout the business, including in invoice processing, for its operations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.

Australia is home to a well-developed workers’ compensation system. Each state determines the design of its scheme, with some being privately underwritten by insurers and others being state-run schemes.

Leadership wanted to do more to eliminate manual processes and take advantage of claims adjusters’ expertise to get the best result for customers and their employees. They knew technology was the key.
