In this respect, the importance of artificial intelligence and its undoubted beneficial impact on operational efficiency was highlighted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Artificial intelligence was precisely the theme of the opening presentation, given by Jos\u00e9 Antonio Garrote, Alvantia&#8217;s Business Manager, in which he analysed the advantages that\u00a0<strong>Machine Learning<\/strong>\u00a0systems (technology whose objective is to equip computers with learning capacity through the programming of highly intelligent algorithms) can provide in terms of increasing efficiency, improving the supplier\u2019s experience, optimising resources and reducing the cost for financial institutions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1-1024x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1-750x416.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1-1200x665.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.alvantia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG-20190307-WA0008_2-1.jpg 1590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size\">RFIx 2019, organised by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bcrpub.com\/\"><strong>BCR Publishing<\/strong><\/a>, was undoubtedly an ideal stage for discovering the latest trends in the sector, exchanging impressions with other professionals and networking.
