Alternative data for financial services, such as satellite imagery, logistics data, and social media feeds, has been getting a lot of attention recently. Like any trending topic, its uses and benefits can be hyped up a bit but if the right plumbing and creativity is in place, those benefits can be realized.

See the webinar, “Put Alternative Data to Use in Capital Markets” for a demonstration of this process.
