The value of Big Data to the retail financial services industry is estimated to reach more than £6 billion over the next few years, which means big business for the industry.In order to ‘harness’ this potential, banks must recognise that they are sitting on a vast amount of information which – if it can be easily accessed and cost-effectively managed, not only has the potential to create large revenue streams, but also provide new insights and opportunities, for both their clients and themselves.After an extremely successful launch, SMI are proud to present the 2nd Annual Big Data in Retail Financial Services Conference on the 27th November 2014 in London.
