Data in Motion Use Cases for the CTO

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 The old ‘data at rest model’ is becoming outdated as new ‘data in motion’ systems provide companies the ability to see how data changes as it flows through their organizations, enabling them to provide new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. 

We discuss: 
-How financial institutions have incorporated data into their operations
-The ways a ‘data in motion’ system differs from the old ‘data at rest’ system 
-How a ‘data in motion’ system helps companies improve their operations and expand their services
-What the future of data looks like for financial services companies

Data in Motion: the New Paradigm in Financial Services

Microservices have emerged as a widely discussed and adopted way to build modern and scalable applications. They are easier to build, manage and maintain than monoliths due to smaller code bases; they isolate complexity, allowing for smaller, more agile teams to create services, and they are flexible—allowing the use of various platforms, programming languages, and tools since these choices affect only an individual service and a small team at a time.



While a microservices architecture provides a good pattern for application modernization efforts, refactoring applications and modernizing existing applications is no small feat. Enterprises must do this thoughtfully or risk adopting a short-sighted strategy for their innovation and business needs.



During this webinar, you’ll see how Confluent empowers your developers to innovate faster while incrementally refactoring and migrating your existing applications. Register today.

The State of Data Streaming for Financial Services in 2023

Data mesh is a new approach to designing data architectures by embracing organisational and data-centric constructs, such as data management and governance. The idea is that data should be easily accessible and interconnected across the entire business.

In this talk, will cover:
 
- The basics of building a streaming data mesh with Kafka & how Confluent enables this. 
- The four principles of the data mesh: domain-driven decentralisation, data as a product, self-service data platform, and federated governance.
- The differences between working with event streams versus centralised approaches.
- How to onboard data from existing systems into a mesh, modelling the communication within the mesh
- How to deal with changes to your domain’s “public” data, give examples of global standards for governance
- The importance of taking a product-centric view of data sources and the data sets they share.

Apache Kafka®, Confluent, and the Data Mesh

Organisations are struggling to deliver on the promise of the DevOps culture and have instead defaulted to 'you build; you run it!' For many DevOps professionals, this approach is fruitless and ready for a reset. One solution is to take a PaaS approach which provides best-in-class tools to developers allowing them to build and deploy apps as needed.

Kafka & Confluent: la pièce maîtresse pour vos projets d'Industrie 5.0

From digital banking to industry 4.0 the nature of business is changing. Increasingly businesses are becoming software. And the lifeblood of software is data. Dealing with data at the enterprise level is tough, and there have been some missteps along the way.

This session will consider the increasingly popular idea of a 'data mesh' - the problems it solves and, perhaps most importantly, how a data in motion or event streaming platform forms the bedrock of this new paradigm.

Data mesh is a relatively recent term that describes a set of principles that good modern data systems uphold. A kind of “microservices” for the data-centric world. While the data mesh is not technology-specific as a pattern, the building of systems that adopt and implement data mesh principles have a relatively long history under different guises.

In this talk, we'll cover: 
- building a streaming data mesh with Kafka 
-the four principles of the data mesh: domain-driven decentralisation, data as a product, self-service data platform, and federated governance. 
-the differences between working with event streams versus centralised approaches and highlight the key characteristics that make streams a great fit for implementing a mesh, such as their ability to capture both real-time and historical data. 
- how to onboard data from existing systems into a mesh, modelling the communication within the mesh
-how to deal with changes to your domain’s “public” data, give examples of global standards for governance
-the importance of taking a product-centric view on data sources and the data sets they share.

Apache Kafka® and the Data Mesh

Retailers that have embraced the opportunities of the prolonged pandemic are emerging leaner and stronger than before. Contrary to expectations, many senior leadership teams have used the last 18 months to re-invent existing and deploy new business models and practices. Many of these models have data and software at their core rather than tagged on as an afterthought. Consequently, many retailers have captured the attention of a younger demographic, thereby refreshing and extending their relevance.  Urban Outfitters' launch of Nuuly, a clothing subscription rental service, exemplifies this trend.  For over 40 years, Urban Outfitters has been creating unique shopping experiences through well-respected brands that include Anthropologie and Free People. To add Nuuly to this roster, Urban Outfitters engineers built and deployed an event-driven architecture in just six months. The success of this project illustrates the importance of harnessing the power of data in motion and Apache Kafka®.
 
Hear Lawrence Stoker, Senior Solutions Engineer at Confluent, walk through the data in motion use cases that are re-inventing the retail business including:
 
1. Customer 360 and loyalty programs
2. Personalized recommendations and real-time offers

Most companies start their cloud journey with a new use case, or a new application. Sometimes these applications can run independently in the cloud, but often times they need data from the on premises datacenter. Existing applications will slowly migrate, but will need a strategy and the technology to enable a multi-year migration. 
 
In this session, we will share how companies around the world are using Confluent Cloud, a fully managed Apache Kafka service, to migrate to AWS. By implementing a central-pipeline architecture using Apache Kafka to sync on-prem and cloud deployments, companies can accelerate migration times and reduce costs. 

In this online talk we will cover:
•How to take the first step in migrating to AWS
•How to reliably sync your on premises applications using a persistent bridge to cloud
•Learn how Confluent Cloud can make this daunting task simple, reliable and performant
•See a demo of the hybrid-cloud and multi-region deployment of Apache Kafka
