The 'How' of Data & AI in FSI: Practical Insights

The initial segment of our exploration into Data & AI in FSI focused on the 'why'—the compelling reasons for FSI to seize the opportunities presented by Artificial Intelligence and why the time is ripe for such a transformation. However, the conclusion is, 'Why not?'.

Data & AI in the Financial Services Industry

In our journey toward harnessing the potential of 'Data & AI' in the Financial Services Industry (FSI), we're confronted with a second pivotal question: "How?" It's the linchpin of our endeavor, encapsulating the practical steps necessary to develop, deploy, and maintain these transformative use-cases in the cloud. This question reverberates across boardrooms and strategy sessions, signaling the urgency of our mission.

Enter the cloud hyperscalers, the vanguards of innovation in this digital landscape. With their arsenal of best practices, frameworks, and no/low-code services, they offer a roadmap to success. AWS, for instance, provides comprehensive guidelines for 'Data & AI,' delineating processes that span from 'Data FoundationExternal Link' to 'Data-driven Value GenerationExternal Link.' Following these guidelines ensures optimal:

  • scalability,
  • cost-effectiveness, and
  • performance

a trifecta of success in our digital age. These documents also outline processes for Data & AI development and deployment. For instance, AWS recommends approaching data-driven use-cases through the following process:

Cloud Data & AI Premier Partner

At PCG, as an AWS Premier Partner, we don't merely follow these guidelines; we infuse them with our expertise, remaining discerning and critical every step of the way. Our approach blends industry best practices with our own unique insights, ensuring that our solutions stand at the forefront of innovation.

Let's delve deeper into the specifics. Take, for instance, the use-case of "Natural Language Processing (incl. Speech transcription) to scan and process/query documents intelligently." Here, we leverage a suite of building blocks meticulously curated for optimal performance. From AI-powered document scanning to intuitive query processing, every component is designed to seamlessly integrate into your workflow. And with PCG by your side, you can expect a comprehensive solution, encompassing everything from mobile apps to cutting-edge UI/UX design.

But our journey doesn't end here. We're committed to offering a holistic perspective on FSI, leveraging insights from AWSExternal Link and beyond. By staying abreast of industry trends and innovations, we ensure that our solutions remain future-proof and adaptable to the ever-evolving landscape of FSI.

In conclusion, the path to unlocking the power of 'Data & AI' in FSI is paved with challenges and opportunities. Yet, armed with the right tools, frameworks, and expertise, we're poised to revolutionize the industry. Together, let's embark on this transformative journey, where innovation knows no bounds, and success knows no limits.

But, why PCG?

Discussions on Data and AI often focus on breakthroughs, excitement, fears, and technicalities. Yet, the goal is optimizing business metrics, streamlining processes, innovating, disrupting, etc. Simply focusing on the end without understanding the means won't work. PCG, as a cloud services provider, offers more than this benefits:

  • Scalability: Compute and storage adjust to needs, hard to assess upfront.
  • Best practices from hyperscalers covering entire industries.
  • Outsource hardcore technicalities, especially in AI.
  • Flexibility to innovate and rebuild.
  • No/low-code solutions targeting common pain points.

We embody a hands-on mentality, comprehending your 'why' and sharing your goals. Action speaks louder than words for us; we don't just talk, we take decisive steps, ensuring each delivery goes beyond mere software updates.

We've pinpointed essential components for FSI to successfully integrate 'Data & AI'. A fundamental factor lies in the mindset and readiness of the organization to welcome transformation. This mirrors the obstacles encountered in the Digitalization and Cloud era. However, with Data & AI, the scope broadens to include aspects such as Data Governance and ethical AI deployment. These non-technical considerations play a pivotal role in achieving success within the traditional and less flexible FSI landscape.
