This includes collaborating with enterprise technology for the resourcing of infrastructure and data catalogue/governance.
• Analytics and AI Scaffolding: Technology fabric that translate data into consumable actions and insights. This is the critical mesh which connects structured and unstructured data, logic, reasoning and investment context.
