A-Team Insight Webinars Countdown:

Upcoming Webinar: Strategies and solutions for unlocking value from unstructured data

27 March 2025

27 March 2025
11:00am ET | 3:00pm London | 4:00pm CET
Duration: 50 Minutes

Unstructured data accounts for a growing proportion of the information that capital markets participants are using in their day-to-day operations.

Technology – especially generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) – is enabling organisations to prise crucial insights from sources – such as social media posts, news articles and sustainability and company reports – that were all but unobtainable just a few years ago without huge amounts of manual resources.

By its very nature, however, unstructured data poses unique challenges to organisations that have spent years building sophisticated data architectures to manage standardised datasets. A recent A-Team Group survey, for instance, found that many buy-side organisations are struggling with this increasingly important form of information because their tech stacks are incapable of integrating such data.

As organisations harvest more content from a wider variety of non-standard sources, institutions are rethinking their data strategies and infrastructure.

This webinar will bring together an expert panel of data and technology providers as well as end users to examine how organisations are overcoming the specific challenges of ingesting and managing unstructured data.

Discussion topics will include:

  • Tools required to extract data from unstructured sources
  • The value organisations can extract from unstructured data
  • Integration challenges inherent in the data itself
  • Technological impediments to integration
  • Technology-based solutions to successful management of unstructured data
