The recent data explosion is a huge challenge for storage and IT system designers. How do you crunch all that data at a reasonable cost? Fortunately, your familiar SAS comes to the rescue with its new 24G speed. Its flexible connection scheme already allows designers to scale huge external storage systems with low latency. Now the new high operating speed offers the throughput you need to bring big data to its knobby knees! Our panel of storage experts will present practical solutions to today’s petabyte problems and beyond.

For years, banks have been sitting on a goldmine of customer data. Only recently have they started exploiting that, although not surprisingly for their own benefit.
Personal data can give great insights to drive bank outcomes by decreasing credit losses and reducing fraud losses. In this webinar Paul Clark, CTO, will look at how we can use customer data to;
* Drive customer’s own advantage
* Avoid slip ups
* Dodge nasty charges
* Optimise the customer’s finances end to end.

Implementing AI applications based on machine learning is a significant topic for organizations embracing digital transformation. By 2020, 30% of CIOs will include AI in their top five investment priorities according to Gartner’s Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2018: Intelligent Apps and Analytics. But to deliver on the AI promise, organizations need to generate good quality data to train the algorithms. Failure to do so will result in the following scenario: "When you automate a mess, you get an automated mess."

This webinar covers:

- An introduction to machine learning use cases and challenges provided by Kirk Borne, Principal Data Scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton and top data science and big data influencer.
- How to achieve good data quality based on harmonized semantic metadata presented by Andreas Blumauer, CEO and co-founder of Semantic Web Company and a pioneer in the application of semantic web standards for enterprise data integration.
- How to apply a combined approach when semantic knowledge models and machine learning build the basis of your cognitive computing. (See Attachment: The Knowledge Graph as the Default Data Model for Machine Learning)
- Why a combination of machine and human computation approaches is required, not only from an ethical but also from a technical perspective.

How are financial service firms around the world using machine learning systems today to identify and address risk in transactional datasets?

This webinar will look at a new approach to transaction analysis and illustrate how the combination of traditional rules-based approaches can be augmented with next-generation machine learning systems to uncover more in the data, faster and more efficiently.

We will span the various applications in banking, payments, trading, and compliance; looking at a variety of use cases from bank branch transaction analysis to trading data validation.

Anyone interested in financial technology, next-generation machine learning systems and the future of the financial services industry will find this webinar of specific interest.

Artificial Intelligence has a huge role to play in banking, no more so than in sustainable finance. However, data is very patchy and much source data is not available to inform Sustainable Finance. The challenge as we set off on this new journey is to make sure that the data and algorithms used are transparent and unbiased.

In this session, Richard Peers, Director of Financial Services industry at Microsoft will share how disruption and new entrants are bringing new business models and technology to play in banking as in other industries like the Auto Industry

One new area is sustainable Finance, a voluntary initiative as part of the COP agreement on climate change but the data to inform the markets is a challenge. Big Data, Machine Learning and AI can help resolve this.

But with such important issues at stake, this session will outline how AI much be designed to ethical principles

Tune in to this session for a high-level view of some key trends and technologies in banking. Get insight into sustainable finance; why AI can help and why Ethical AI is important; and the Microsoft principles for Ethical AI.

We are seeing a sea change in networking. SDN has enabled improvements in network telemetry and analytics.

In this presentation, I will talk about the current challenges that are out there and how the technology change is helping us to improve the overall network telemetry. Furthermore, I will share how deep learning techniques are being used in this field. Please join this webinar to understand how the field of network telemetry is changing.

The tragedy of the commons, first described by biologist Garrett Hardin in 1968, describes how shared resources are overused and eventually depleted. He compared shared resources to a common grazing pasture; in this scenario, everyone with rights to the pasture acting in self-interest for the greatest short-term personal gain depletes the resource until it is no longer viable.

The banking ecosystem and the data that binds it together is not all that different. For many years, through miss-selling scandals, cookie cutter products and dumb mass-marketing have seen players acting in their own interest in accordance to what they believe the ecosystem should look like, how it should evolve and who controls it.

But with the introduction of open banking, there are signs that new banking ecosystems are set to thrive. Taking Hardin’s notion, collaboration in the open banking future could benefit everyone in the ecosystem – the traditional banks, the FinTechs, the tech titans with their expertise in delivering services at scale, and yet-to-be-defined participants, likely to include the large data players such as energy firms, retailers and telcos.

Join me to explore the Open Future.
