## What the story says

Barings uses Zip's DORA AI Agent inside its request-to-purchase and renewal workflows to screen vendor requests for scope under the EU DORA regulation. The agent reads contracts and documentation, classifies each vendor, and routes only in-scope or uncertain cases to a person, while keeping an audit trail.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Zip and Barings, not ours.

> Before the DORA Agent, an employee would have to manually review 10 to 15 vendor requests per week for DORA compliance. Today, the reviews are cut down to just one or two on average: an overall reduction of roughly 90%.

- **2400%**: “Barings estimates they’ve seen a 2400% ROI in cost savings/avoidance by not adding additional headcount.”
