InsureTech is beginning to make its mark on the insurance industry. Here experts explore how data helps refine risk and redefine their products, and what to expect in terms if new innovations

Cybersecurity is a booming sector with plenty of implications for the FinTech industry. This webinar will look at the latest trends and emerging synergies in an increasingly complicated digital landscape.

The Financial Services industry has seen exponential increases in data volume through a variety of sources. Data management has become the most critical function to a company’s success.

However, most Data Management initiatives concentrate their efforts towards best practices, tools, and platforms. Very few of them focus towards business benefits, usability, and maximizing ROI through quick wins. This usually results in short lived initiatives, skepticism, and failure to accomplish enterprise wide risk and revenue goals.

So join Vipul Parekh of Optimity Advisors as he walks you through the practical strategies, challenges, and opportunities to maximize ROI of data management initiatives through financial services industry case studies

In an increasingly digitalised world, the value of information grows ever higher. Winning organisations – whether in financial services or any other vertical sector – will be those who can harness the power of data analytics to develop microscopic levels of insight and foresight into customer behaviours and operational activities in order to make progressive improvements on a continuous basis. Product development informed by factual evidence rather than educated guesswork, or real-time risk management based on a hyper-accurate picture of exposures, bring significant internal and external benefits.

However, while banks want to get closer to their customers, is the feeling mutual? Data privacy is a very sensitive issue, and the perception of what constitutes intrusion will likely vary between individuals. Institutions, therefore, need to walk a fine line between what’s genuinely useful and what’s genuinely creepy.

During this webinar, a panel of respected subject matter experts will discuss and dissect the key issues related to the widespread use of data analytics in financial services, identifying the obstacles which need to be overcome and the enablers that will drive FS forward successfully.

Financial Services companies rely on personal data for both their retail and business customers. Legislation and regulation, such as AMLD4, PSD2 and GDPR; both control and mandate its use.

How can FS companies manage and use the data effectively? Join this panel where we'll discuss the many new regulations coming up and what you should be doing as early as now to prepare your organisation and optimise your processes.

In the recent years, financial services have made a significant investment in the big data infrastructures but have yet to see adequate returns on applying analytics to them. Artificial intelligence and machine learning bring new capacities regarding data discovery and advanced anomaly detection while helping finance professionals create new efficient workflows around data discovery. The real value of AI is in uncovering new patterns and fully leveraging big-data. By applying fast, AI empowered analytics against data structures, the return on the value of IT investment is quickly realized.

Technological breakthroughs like Artificial Intelligence is having a disproportionate effect on financial services. It has the potential to introduce new sources of growth and is already changing how work is done. With its advanced self-learning algorithms, it is enhancing the professional judgment of finance professionals in finding “needle in a haystack” fraud attempts and material misstatements that otherwise would go unnoticed with antiquated approaches.

This webinar is intended to help you understand that Ai and autonomous systems are affecting major aspects of financial services. These technologies are well poised to give a never-before advantage to financial institutions.

As Financial Institutions adapt to the digital world, and the digital consumer, data and analytics are becoming increasingly important in their fight to provide customer support, offerings, accuracy and services and optimize their processes.

But the challenges of a bank or large financial institution can be very different to the average companies. From restrictive compliance, ever-changing regulations, huge branch networks, massive amounts of employees and mind-boggling amount of customers and financial data - any data and analytics task can be truly intimidating.

So how are modern financial institutions coping and adapting to the data oriented world, and what are the tools that are helping them?

Find out in this panel discussion featuring:
David Daniel, VP, Banc Intranets
Jim Callan, CEO, Econiq

And more as they discuss the realities of large financial institutions data difficulties, and how they're overcoming these challenges.

Despite the growing popularity of data visualization tools across all industries, the finance sector still relies heavily on seeing data presented in tabular form. Analysts in financial institutions often spend a large part of their day pouring over spreadsheets, extracting numbers, pivoting tables, running macros and making adjustments before creating static reports to print for management meetings.
But what happens if you have another question?


We argue that there is a better way to approach financial data and to unlock more of the collective brain power of your analysts. We will show you a number of options for visualizing financial results, highlighting trends and developing KPI dashboards that provide real insights quickly. Because there are more valuable things your staff could be doing than wrangling with spreadsheets
