Empowering Financial Services with Cutting-Edge Technology

A huge challenge on the way to use meaningful and trusted AI-based solutions is the connection of a developed AI solution to real world enterprise data. Studies foresee that more than 60% of planned AI solutions will fail, when trying to access productive and complex enterprise data systems rather than test data used for development. The presentation shows a first overview of what is needed to prepare and transform existing data to make them the best basis for relevant AI-based solutions and how IBM's Data Fabric components can help to get this achieved.
