When you look around - everything has a financial value for buying, selling, constructing more value, lending, leveraging, maintaining or servicing. How to couple this idea with present banking systems and applications and create something totally novel? How does the cloud play into this? Providing every customer a unique experience might seem difficult, but you can always leverage solutions created in past to achieve something that has not been done before. Recommendation engine is a the classic example of Machine Learning that almost everybody is familiar when browsing online stores or Netflix. Sentiment Analysis gives you the insight on how customers perceive certain topics, do they respond positively, neutrally or is the response negative? Also to consider: In addition to easy and fast data science, Azure is still the only cloud platform that has been approved to be secure by EU's data protection authorities.
