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,

•
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.

should focus on optimizing what ought to be fast,
resilient, scalable, and flexible.

linking up the front-/middle-/back-offices,

Reducing risks, ensuring compliance, bringing
new products to sell, cutting costs, and finding
new ways to beat competition.
