Upcoming Webinar: Unlocking value: Harnessing modern data platforms for data integration, advanced investment analytics, visualisation and reporting
4 September 2025
10:00am ET | 3:00pm London | 4:00pm CET
Duration: 50 Minutes
Modern data platforms are bringing efficiencies, scalability and powerful new capabilities to institutions and their data pipelines. They are enabling the use of new automation and analytical technologies that are also helping firms to derive more value from their data and reduce costs.
Use cases of specific importance to the finance sector, such as data integration, advanced investment analytics, visualisation and reporting, are benefiting more from the deployment of some applications than others. In this webinar we shall look at those and examine how they are being used.
As well as looking in detail at these use cases and the technology that is being applied to them, the panel of expert speakers will also consider how best to deploy these tools and to what extent they are helping organisations. Further, they will look at best-practices for implementation and what pitfalls to avoid when embarking on an upgrade or tooling.
The webinar will delve into topics that include:
- What are the specific benefits of these technologies to financial institutions?
- How have they brought value and efficiencies?
- Are there other modern platform technologies that can benefit financial institutions?
- What hindrance would a legacy tech stack impose on implementation of these technologies?
