AND BOOST YOUR BOTTOM LINE
For today’s capital market firms, customer and transactional data generated in standard structured formats like Excel spreadsheets and CRMs is being rapidly outpaced by massive volumes of structured and unstructured data from email, audio, video, Twitter, RSS feeds and Bloomberg Chat. Mining this prized information for business intelligence (BI) at the rapid-fire speed required for predictive modeling and real-time trend and customer insights analysis is challenging traditional ways of storing, processing and managing this data. Add the increasingly complex data analytics, industry
governance and risk reporting requirements, and financial organizations are put to the test.

Your dedicated CDW Financial Services account team knows a
high-performing big data solution is built on the right technology mix. Our industry-leading technology partnerships with IBM, EMC and many others allow us to bring you the brands you recognize and trust. CDW helps you navigate the rising complexity of data’s volume, velocity and variety to achieve business intelligence for better decision making, with custom-designed BI solutions based on the unique requirements of your organization — providing faster time to insight, greater productivity and lowered TCO.
So much data, both in structured and unstructured formats, is pouring in from internal and external sources. Today’s capital market firms are struggling with how best to process it all to find meaning and take action in a way that will positively impact their businesses.
Many organizations rely on Hadoop, an open-source software, to enable the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of community servers. Hadoop essentially translates all varieties of unstructured data into a logical, intelligible format that can be more readily digested before it enters an enterprise data
warehouse and is held for future analysis.
The use of BI software facilitates the gathering, analyzing and reporting of that information through dashboards, ad hoc queries and other formats so it can be assessed and acted upon to make better business decisions.
Hardware components such as servers and storage provide the engines for disseminating
and delivering information to devices such as
notebooks, desktops, wireless phones and tablets. Accessing big data in the right format
using the right tools at the right time enables business executives, departments and individual workers to act quickly, seize new opportunities and gain a competitive edge.
No matter where you are in your BI maturity and adoption lifecycle, CDW Financial Services can build a holistic solution for your capital market firm — from software, servers, storage and networking to reporting analytics, ETL tools and data warehouses.

Q: What are some of the key trends you’re seeing around big data in the financial services industry?
A: Capital market firms are just beginning to realize the value of big data technology. Harnessing big data can help them optimize capital and funding efficiency, hone trading and pricing activity, and tighten regulatory compliance.
Q: How does CDW support capital market firms with their big data strategies?
A: We help our customers understand how technology can help them manage their big data and support their business goals in three key ways:
1. Identifying the skill sets required for success 2. Finding the right business opportunities to which
technology can be applied
3. Creating a roadmap for successful implementation
and results
Q: What tips would you offer securities/investment/ trading firms regarding leveraging big data to benefit their businesses?
• For the most powerful results, the technology group
must align the big data strategy with the objectives of the business. This is not a solo technology exercise.
• Identify the skill sets you currently don’t have on the
team, and then acquire them.
• Start small by beginning with a pilot project. You don’t
need to boil the ocean.
Choose a business area in which you can reap a 1% improvement. If you can make something 1% more successful, that will pave the way for additional projects.
