You can watch our vision behind the future of finance here. This derives many projects, one of them is extended Planning & Analysis, where we aim to automatically simulate and generate thousands of probable future outcomes for Planners and Decision Makers when an unknown signal arises using logical programming techniques; as an example, SAP’s planners would be able to understand the rapidly changing customer preferences around Move2Cloud trend on to existing on-prem heavy service’s business. Another project we drive in user augmentation is around leveraging greater contextualization to autonomously anticipate data access needs and recommend the relevant access control permissions in order to streamline compliant access to resources, thereby enabling enterprise users get higher value tasks done.

Your set of application documents should contain a cover letter, a resume in table form, school leaving certificates, certificate of enrollment, current university transcript of records, copies of any academic degrees already earned, and if available, references from former employers (including internships).
