At the same time, regulatory requirements for data retention are causing tremendous growth in the total amount of data that needs to be stored.

In the Financial Services industry, large quantities of historical data need to be processed against a growing number of fast-moving data feeds. Topics to be covered: • Big Data allows you to find opportunities you didn't know you had • Fast Data allows you to respond to opportunities before they disappear • Working together they may enable entirely new business models Join this session to gain insight into the transformative value of Big Data Fast Data for the Financial Services industry.
