The 5 key signs that the financial sector has entered a big data and machine learning revolution. Watch this short video and read more insights below.<\/h3>\n

Big Data and Machine Learning: The Statistics<\/h2>\n

Harvard Business Review recently reported that 71% of surveyed financial services industry firms are exploring big data and predictive analytics while 70% report that big data is of critical importance to their firms.<\/p>\n

As the amount of structured and unstructured data explodes, the financial sector is realizing the necessity of harnessing and analyzing that data in the fastest, most effective way possible in order to stay competitive.<\/p>\n

A revolution can be defined as a fundamental change in an organizational structure that takes place in a relatively short period of time when people \u201crevolt\u201d against the current order. Currently the financial sector is making a massive shift towards\u00a0big data and machine learning technology<\/strong>\u00a0and applied solutions. Here are five signs that this is the beginning of a revolution in finance:<\/p>\n

1. Discontent<\/h3>\n

There is an explicit discontent with traditional investment management, concerning management fees, lack of transparencies and a lack of trust. There is a change taking place where investors no longer trust the traditional investment process.<\/p>\n

2. Digital Oligarchy<\/h3>\n

We are also seeing that a small group of companies control most of the data. Whether it\u2019s the exchanges, market data providers, Bloomberg, Reuters, Google or Amazon. They have most of the data and they have full control of it.<\/p>\n

3. Data Growth<\/h3>\n

Data is growing at a frantic pace and it\u2019s becoming unmanageable without new technologies. It\u2019s impossible to make sense of what information is being thrown at us without the right systems in place to manage it.<\/p>\n

4. Alternative Data<\/h3>\n

There has been a massive spike in the number of alternative data providers. The traditional provider would be your market data firm as well as your company, proving fundamental information. Most investment decisions are made using those two sources of data. Nowadays, we have hundreds of alternative data providers that claim that they can give you a way to measure micro variables before they have been released from the official means. Firms are claiming they have sources to predict stock returns or predict the company\u2019s earnings, even before the information comes out. Some of them are valid and some of them are not, but the fact is, there are alternatives now.<\/p>\n

5. Decision Making Process<\/h3>\n

Intuition instead of data driven decision making has been the norm, but we know better. We know that data science can help us make sense of the world of big data and yet the world of finance is still very traditional.<\/p>\n

The Solution: RavenPack Analytics<\/h2>\n

There is a massive shift towards big data and machine learning in the banking and financial sectors.\u00a0Big data and machine learning<\/strong>\u00a0companies such as RavenPack are responding to that need by introducing innovative solutions that help banking and finance professionals enhance returns, mitigate risk and improve their compliance processes.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that harnessing the power of big data and machine learning can enhance performance. Those in the financial sector that master this will stay ahead of their competitors.<\/p>\n

The most successful hedge funds, banks, and asset managers use\u00a0RavenPack Analytics to enhance returns, reduce risk and increase efficiency by systematically incorporating data-driven insights on news, social media and proprietary textual content in their models and workflows.<\/p>\n
