Recorded Webinar: Modernising Data Infrastructures: Challenges and opportunities of managing complex financial data and analytics in hybrid and multi-cloud environments

5 May 2022

As they forge ahead with their digital transformation programs, financial institutions are finding that the internal platforms they use to manage complex data sets for trading, investment, risk, and compliance are no longer fit for purpose. The ongoing shift toward cloud hosting is forcing practitioners to manage the transition from deeply entrenched legacy platforms to emerging hybrid, on-premises, and cloud environments that threaten to fragment and weaken their analytics capabilities.

This webinar will discuss the challenges facing data management, infrastructure, and engineering teams as they grapple with implementing modernisation programs.
