No longer is it enough for financial institutions to be simply “on top” of their data management architecture. They need to be constantly looking for the next innovation to keep them ahead of the game in this fast-moving space.
That’s why modern data management platforms are the focus of so many organisations at the moment. They are providing the foundational support for a plethora of high-powered data-led functions that are aiding capital market participants in their day-to-day operations.
These new architectures place their emphasis on scale, high-quality data and robust governance – especially with regard to unstructured content. These are all tied into the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence and cloud hosting, to bring greater capabilities to organisations as the volume and complexity of the data they ingest and utilise increases.With automative and streamlining enablement a key theme of modern data platforms, organisations can execute at scale processes that help them prise the greatest value from their data.
In A-Team Group’s webinar “Unlocking value: Harnessing modern data platforms for data integration, advanced investment analytics, visualisation and reporting”, some of the key tasks that benefit from modern data management structures will come under the gaze of data expert panellists drawn from the world of capital markets.
“Modern data platforms are critical for helping financial institutions drive greater efficiency and deeper insights,” said Dave Byrne, Head of Data Platforms at LSEG.
Joint Presentation
The webinar has been created jointly by A-Team Group’s Data Management Insight and TradingTech Insight teams. It will look specifically at how the latest architectures are bringing improvements to the way organisations ingest data into their systems, how they can empower research processes, their ability to present data in innovative and informative ways and the benefits they bring to compliance teams.
Byrne at LSEG, one of the event’s sponsors, will be among the panellists debating the key topics around the theme, along with: Christina Schack, Head of Data Solutions at Bank Vontobel; Rickie Glasgow, Global Head of Data Governance at Northern Trust Asset Servicing; and Mick Hittesdorf, Cloud Product Architect at OneTick.
The panellists will discuss the broader benefits of the latest innovations in data management before zooming in on the more specific use cases. Backing their comments with reference to real-life experiences, they will look at the best practices organisations can adopt to achieve their data objectives and examine the tools and technology that can help them on their way.
Furthermore, the webinar will examine the synergies that can be achieved by bringing these capabilities together within a unified platform and how the inherent hurdles of legacy systems can be overcome.
AI Capabilities
Hittesdorf at OneTick, also a sponsor, stressed the criticality of modern data platforms to the implementation of AI-powered applications. He noted in a recent blog that the data engineer’s mantra – “garbage in/garbage out” – is more apt now that AI is “showing signs of being real”.
“More than ever, high-quality, trustworthy, complete and comprehensive data is the essential prerequisite for success with AI/ML,” he wrote.
“A modern data platform is how you get there. You need a modern data platform to collect, normalise, derive, and deliver high-quality, trustworthy data to your AI/ML teams as well as others in analytics, trading, risk and compliance/regulatory functions.”
