What ’ s the most exciting prospect for data analytics in finance ? The potential for analytics to transform a heavily data-centric sector like finance is far from exhausted . Stock market insights , financial modelling , and risk management are just a handful of fertile areas for exploration . However , our three commentators were unanimous in citing the enhancement of the customer experience ( CX ) as data analytics ’ most promising area .
GZ : “ CX is the field where data analytics can deliver huge value for banks in how their omnichannel strategies are realised and how services can be personalised for individual customers .”

Nasdaq Working specifically on Nasdaq ’ s data platform
Quandl , Dague is focused on finding valuable data and building products that deliver actionable investment insights . He and his team apply leading-edge technologies to create new solutions for traditional and alternative asset managers and quant trading groups .
BD : “ Nasdaq and Quandl provide alphagenerating insights for both quantitative and fundamental investors . We believe that all portfolio management teams should be able to maximise the insights they receive from data . That only happens when data is easily discovered , implemented , and acted upon .
“ In a way , everyone ’ s already sold on data , especially in finance . The industry needs no further convincing that data is valuable , so the natural next step is making the experience around that data even better .”
“ ONE OF THE COMMON DATA CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE WITH OUR CLIENTS , ESPECIALLY BANKS AND CREDIT UNIONS , IS NOT HAVING ACCESS TO THESE DEEPER INSIGHTS ”
