FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the significance of your name ‘Data Boiler’? The convoluted market has stipulated the need to boil the ocean of financial data using advanced technologies to find opportunities. Hence, we chose “Data Boiler’ as the company name. What big data burdens are financial institutions facing? Chaotic workplace, troubles of the 4Vs, overlapping data sources, contradicting data versions, unfitted pipes along the value chain, non-standardize technologies, frequent requirement changes, etc. What is stopping firms from implementing changes? Legacy systems that aren’t easily replaceable, doubts of the dependability of new technologies, silos, and lack of an ecosystem. What are your thoughts about standardization of data? Can it be done, and will it be helpful in the end? Central warehouse could be expensive. Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) can address many non-standard issues, but it is not cheap. Standardization is not necessarily bad, but firms should focus on optimizing what ought to be fast, resilient, scalable, and flexible. What product development opportunities do you see? Some are domain specific, others could be linking up the front-/middle-/back-offices, while some focus on crossover synergy to build a utility model. What should be the end-goal for Big Data? Reducing risks, ensuring compliance, bringing new products to sell, cutting costs, and finding new ways to beat competition.
