Recorded Webinar: Data Science & Analytics – New approaches and capabilities for driving business analytics

12 November 2020

Financial institutions are under pressure to maximise the insight they can derive from their data. With data spread across multiple silos and stored in both structured and unstructured formats, embedding analytics into business processes can be difficult and calls for new approaches to data management.

Open source database and data processing technologies, as well as machine learning techniques including Natural Language Processing (NLP), provide new approaches to advanced analytics. Metadata management, knowledge graphs, data discovery, quality metrics and data visualisation tools are also useful for adding context to data and providing insight, although winning buy in and business ownership for new tools is an ongoing challenge.

Managing data privacy, content license restrictions and security is a critical concern when using data for analytics, and must be addressed in the early stages of any analytics project.

This webinar will discuss data science and how it is driving new approaches and solutions to business analytics.

  • The role of the data scientist in analytics
  • How to add data sources into workflows
  • How to integrate quality data with analytics
  • How to gain insight from data
  • How to manage data privacy and security
