Analytics in Financial Services: A Competitive Imperative
How analytics and data are changing Wall Street.
The presentation material from this event is now available here.
The financial services industry is inherently data-driven. In recent years, our ability to store, retrieve and analyze massive volumes of data has exploded, creating new opportunities as well as new challenges. Investment banks, retail financial services firms, and insurance companies are at the forefront of this data revolution.
How are Wall Street innovators using analytics to compete and succeed? What tools and tactics do they use to turn data into value? What are the pitfalls and cautionary tales associated with data-driven tools, techniques, and technologies?
>At this half-day joint event of the New York Technology Council and The Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) Tri-State Area Chapter, our keynote speaker and industry panelists will explore this topic.
