Date: 14 November 2024
Time: 10:00am ET / 3:00pm London / 4:00pm CET
Duration: 50 minutes

Data management is central to asset management, but it can also be a challenge as firms face increased volumes of data, data complexity and the need to consolidate structured and unstructured data to gain valuable insights, improve decision-making, step up customer acquisition and compliance, and ultimately, gain competitive advantage in a market characterised by tight margins and rising operating costs.

This webinar will review the challenges of buy-side data management across structured and unstructured data, and approaches to improvement including data consolidation and automation. It will also discuss the potential of modern data management platform solutions to extract and configure data from diverse sources, provide visibility for better insights and decision making, ease regulatory reporting and optimise operational efficiency. Finally, it will offer practical guidance on planning and implementation, and touch on the role of emerging technologies in data management for the buy-side.
