I was extremely pleased when I heard that Estes Express Lines, a Denodo customer, was recently featured exclusively in a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article about modernizing the freight transport industry’s use of data. There are many logistics companies in the US, not to mention in the world, but why was Estes Express featured exclusively? That is because Estes Express adopted a nouveau technology concept called “digital twin” using the Denodo Platform as the foundation for powerful data management capabilities.

Banks are subject to numerous regulations that are designed to protect customers and ensure the stability of the financial system. Compliance with these regulations is essential, not only to avoid fines and legal penalties, but also to maintain the trust of customers and the broader financial community. One way that banking can improve their compliance efforts is through data virtualisation. Data virtualisation enables banks to bring together data from multiple sources, including core banking systems, customer relationship management systems, and external data sources. This unified view of data enables banks to more easily monitor and analyse customer transactions, identify potential risks, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, it is more important than ever for financial institutions to stay ahead of the curve and offer tailored products and services that meet the unique needs of their customers. A significant inhibitor is the traditional data architecture that relies on large monolithic data stores, such as data warehouses and data lakes, which create challenges with respect to agility, compliance with regulatory requirements, and costs.

Business analysts, data stewards, and other data stakeholders would dearly love to gain a 360° view of customers, products, assets, and other entities. With such a view, at any given time, it would be possible to know, for example, what products customers have purchased, which customers are part of the same household, which channels they purchased their products from, and, if they purchased physical products, if they also purchased extended warranties. A 360° view of the customer is needed not only to better understand buying behavior, but also to serve customers more effectively.

Over the next few years, energy utilities will face significant challenges and disruption as the consequences of decarbonization, electrification, digitalization, and regulatory changes hit home. In a series of articles, we’ll look at the different challenges and disruptions facing the utilities and examine how modern data management platforms, such as the Denodo Platform, can help them address these challenges.

Digitization has been a boon for financial services, bringing the industry into a new age. However, it has also brought massive and growing data volumes that can be either a goldmine or an indecipherable pool, depending on each organization’s ability to gain valuable insights from it to make data-driven decisions. There is a Darwinian aspect to this — in the highly competitive arena of financial services, only the agile and adaptable organizations will prevail; the survival of the fittest underlines the need for flexibility, versatility, and the rapid adaptation to new scenarios. Data mesh, an architectural design proposed by Zhamak Dehghani of ThoughtWorks, offers one solution to this challenge.

In 2018, the European Parliament decided to enable unified digital access to EU administration resources with Regulation (EU) 2018/1724, calling for the creation of a Single Digital Gateway (SDG). The goal is to introduce digital offerings for public services. Offerings which should be citizen-oriented, user-friendly, and available on a single…

The financial services sector is accelerating its adoption of digital technology. Innovative new technologies are redefining the sector, shaping the services that financial organizations offer, the ways in which they interact with consumers, and the ways in which they apply new sources of data across departments. Nevertheless, the evolution of financial services is set to continue. Let’s examine the 5 top trends in financial services that will change how you think about your data:

Data lake, by combining the flexibility of object storage with the scalability and agility of cloud platforms, are becoming an increasingly popular choice as an enterprise data repository. …
