Data Optionality in the Cloud

Sourcing, sharing and managing external financial data sets is a complicated, time consuming and costly effort for financial institutions (FIs). As FIs migrate more and more workloads to the cloud, these challenges are brought to the forefront.

We have identified a live client scenario that showcases how world class cloud technologies, combined with innovative application software and managed services have allowed a global FI to address these challenges.

This discussion will cover how this project has achieved the service levels real-time data demands while also reducing complexity and management overhead, optimizing enterprise-wide data usage and offering an increased range of available third-party data sets.

AI and ML – Real-world Financial Industry Use Cases

At our Nov meeting there was consensus that banks and financial institutions would increasingly explore the potential of Gen AI.

And while we had good discussions on how this could automate complex processes, generate insights and enable better decision making, we came up short on actual uses cases

For this meeting we are excited to have an AI guest expert who will discuss specific and practical applications of Gen AI. Dimitrios has first-hand global experience of use cases across the entire loan lifecycle process, from business identification, risk assessment, and portfolio monitoring to regulatory reporting and disclosures.

Capitalizing on Australia’s Financial Data Community

The Australian capital markets are unique and support a significant ecosystem of financial institutions, data vendors, application and infra service providers.

As the previous presentations show – the industry here and globally is facing unprecedented disruption (and opportunities).

This panel brings our presenters together with leading execs from the industry to explore these disrupters and to identify how the Australian Financial Data community can capitalize on the opportunities presented.
