Opening its final Convergence 2017 conference which took place in Auckland last week, Empired COO Simon Bright asked, “Why are we talking about digital transformation?”

Empired itself has undergone a transformation in the way that it demonstrates the difference that technology can make. Instead of a focus on the technology itself, the major theme was the sharing of customer success stories showing how they have leveraged digital technology to transform business. The Convergence conference was a series of eight events across Australia and New Zealand, visiting Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne before crossing the ditch finishing with the Auckland event Friday 3 November.

Australian Finance Group (AFG) is Australia’s largest mortgage broking group with over 2300 brokers and a loan portfolio of over $100B. They have recently migrated their on-premise document management system into the cloud. AFG chose Oracle Document Cloud Service as this represented a simple migration process, multi-platform (mobile, web and desktop) support, immediate access to core document management functionality, and good enterprise controls.

This continues AFG’s transition to cloud, and builds up the components that fit together to create a cohesive solution. The solution components will drive the ability for AFG to create more value in both the back-office and sales processes and curb costs. The migration also alleviates the management of another legacy application that was in need of an upgrade and internal skills refresh.
