An Earful with Errol! Break the Data Loop: Accelerating AI in Finance

AI investment in financial services is at an all-time high — yet many organizations struggle to move beyond pilots and proofs of concept. Why? Because data delivery is broken. In this episode of An Earful with Errol, Errol Rodericks, Director of Product Marketint at Denodo, unpacks insights from a new IDC InfoBrief created in collaboration with Denodo to explore one of the biggest blockers to AI success in financial services: the infinity patching loop — endless reactive data fixes that stall innovation and business impact. 🔍 What you’ll learn in this session: - Why most GenAI initiatives in financial services fail to scale - How fragmented lakehouses, pipelines, and silos slow AI outcomes - What IDC’s research reveals about the true cost of data chaos - How data products unlock reusable, governed, AI-ready data - Why logical, real-time data management is critical for AI velocity - How Denodo enables federated, trusted data delivery without replication 💡 Key takeaway: AI doesn’t fail because of models — it fails because business users can’t access governed, usable data when they need it. Escaping the patching loop requires a shift from fragile pipelines to strategic data products powered by Logical Data Management. 📘 Read the full IDC + Denodo analyst report 👉 https://okt.to/yLpf4V 🎧 Watch now to learn how financial institutions can accelerate AI outcomes, reduce data friction, and turn data into a true business asset. #AnEarfulwithErrol #LogicalDataManagement #DataProducts #AI #GenAI #FinancialServices #Banking #Insurance #NoDataLeftBehind #DataForALL #NoAIWithoutData
