What Agile BI Can Do for Your Business

Traditionally data had been produced and stored at multiple sources and given the high cost of
the traditional Data warehousing system, only pristine data could be used for analytics and reporting.
When a data analyst needed to derive business value from this data, he/she required communication across teams, integrations between products, and a high level of coordination to get the information they needed.

There was a clear need for a central platform, being the single source of truth for all the data and
providing quick access to the data in a self-service manner. With the advent of Big Data and Cloud
systems, the storage and compute got cheaper which means that even the raw and intermediate data can also be made available for analytics by bringing them to the central location. This led to the
evolution of Enterprise data lake within organizations. The concept of data lake has evolved from a
Hadoop-based on-premise data lake to an object-storage cloud-based data lake with compute being
provisioned only when the need arises.


Big Data and Cloud Engineering team at Abzooba has been playing a key role in helping organizations achieve their goal of digital transformation. We have been a trusted partner for our clients in their Data Modernization, Cloud Migration and Advanced Analytics journey and this has also helped us to learn some of the best practices while designing cloud-native big data solutions.

Refine Your Data Lake Strategy for Analytics

Failing to protect sensitive information can put a lot of people at risk of being exploited by cybercriminals, and can make a company face enormous legal penalties.

The way information is shared and stored can put the information at risk.

It is risky to store personal information on portable devices, which are easily lost or stolen.

In addition, the consequences of a data breach can be devastating. Identity theft could lead to financial losses, and a company could face lawsuits and legal penalties.

This presentation will cover what kinds of personal information must be protected & guidelines for keeping this info safe.

After viewing this session, attendees should:
1.       Understand how Privacy is defined
2.       Highlight some of the Privacy regulations from around the globe
3.       Understand what information to safeguard
4.       Understand how these privacy regulations affect organizations that handle personal information

Embracing the Data Revolution - What to Expect at Big Data LDN 2018

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.

Flash Storage with 24G SAS Leads the Way in Crunching Big Data

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.

How to Leverage Big Data for Customers: Lessons from a Purpose-Driven Bank

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.

Semantic AI: Bringing Machine Learning and Knowledge Graphs Together

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.
