This Guidance helps you build a data lake and a data analytics platform to address many of the issues that complicate regulatory reporting, such as data being in disconnected silos and distributed extract, transform, load (ETL) processes. Using a data lake, financial institutions will have a single source of data to help them meet regulatory requirements for a large volume of information. With this Guidance, financial institutions can gain insights through advanced analytics and machine learning—faster and at a lower cost.
