Kristy Roth from HSBC:
“It’s been somewhat easy - in a funny way - to
get going using sample data, [but] then you hit
the real problems,” Roth said.
“I think our early track record on PoCs or pilots

Matt Davey from Societe Generale:
“We’ve done quite a bit of work with RPA
recently and I have to say we’ve been a bit
disillusioned with that experience,”
“the PoC is the easy bit: it’s how you get that
into production and shift the balance”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fintechintroduction-180309194327/85/Fintech-introduction-50-320.jpg)
