AI-Driven Data Transformation in Banking

This case study outlines the implementation of a democratic data lab (DDL) by a global bank to enhance data accessibility and governance. The bank recognized the importance of data as a critical business asset and aimed to bridge the gap between data and business operations. The DDL was designed to provide universal access to quality data from various sources, facilitating financial modeling, prototyping, and analysis, particularly in risk management. GFT led the project, forming a fusion team that integrated business and technology objectives. The engagement focused on achieving timely data access, cost-effective prototyping, and reduced time to market for production releases. The DDL serves as a strategic cloud data platform that fosters innovation and can adapt to evolving business needs without requiring IT intervention. The successful deployment of the DDL has resulted in significant reductions in manual effort and processing times across various business contexts, including procurement and compliance.
