Data lies at the heart of an ESG framework, yet it remains a major hurdle. For most organizations data is stored in numerous different silos, from mainframes, to mid-range servers, different data warehouses, and of course the cloud.

They need to be able to monitor, manage and enhance their sustainability plans, and that requires consistent, joined-up data.

Read this IDC Spotlight to understand how well-managed data – captured from numerous systems, business units, and geographies – is key in supporting broader ESG frameworks.

In order for Financial Services and Insurance companies to embrace a data and AI-driven future, they must effectively integrate data from a growing array of sources. This necessity has evolved into a critical requirement for establishing a solid, secure, compliant, and robust data foundation. This foundation is pivotal in generating fresh insights, suggestions, and forecasts. By establishing this groundwork, these companies can develop real-time customer profiles, manage credit risks, combat fraud and financial crimes, ensure data security, address cybersecurity concerns, expand their customer base, and enhance customer service.
