Data in Motion: the New Paradigm in Financial Services

Data is becoming more crucial by the day to the financial services industry. Financial institutions are using their expanded data pools and cloud infrastructure to make better loans, improve their services and offerings to customers, comply with regulations, and detect fraud. Many companies, however, are not using data to its full potential. The old ‘data at rest model’ is becoming outdated as new ‘data in motion’ systems provide companies the ability to see how data changes as it flows through their organizations, enabling them to provide new applications and services to their customers and build out more efficient operating systems for their business. In this session, we explore how data in motion platforms empower financial services companies to make better decisions when it comes to the way they conduct operations and offer services.
