What is changing?
Northern Trust has deployed an AI agent developed with Microsoft for client onboarding on its Front Office Solutions platform. The agent converts incoming clients’ historical transaction data into the standardized format required by the platform and automates preparation steps.
According to company-reported measurements, the system reduced preparation time by 83%, from about two and a half weeks to three days. It achieved a 96.5% first-pass F1 score across seven representative anonymized historical cases; these results come from an internal evaluation.
The system runs on Azure and Microsoft Foundry and connects with Excel and SharePoint. Human teams continue to review exceptions, validate outputs, and make final decisions, while Northern Trust says governance and audit controls remain part of the workflow.
