I spoke at a webinar event run by Simpson Associates for the FSI industry.
On the 12th of May, 2:00pm, we explored how leading firms are breaking this cycle – starting with the foundation by embedding governance into their data strategy and unifying platforms with Microsoft Fabric, alongside Microsoft Purview’s Governance, Security, and Risk & Compliance capabilities.
AI is advancing quickly across financial services and insurance firms, and expectations are rising just as fast. Leaders are being asked to deliver smarter decisions, faster services, and stronger compliance, all powered by data.
Yet, many organisations are grappling with disconnected systems that offer limited visibility. Under regulatory pressure, this subsequently creates friction at every stage – AI initiatives begin to fail, reporting becomes reactive and trust is your data starts to slip.
We explored how these foundations translated into measurable business impact for the finance and insurance sector.
The agenda was
- Why data challenges in FSI and insurance are holding back AI and increasing risk.
- What effective governance looks like within regulated environments.
- How Microsoft Purview and Fabric enable unified, compliant data platforms.
- Microsoft’s vision for governance, AI, and the future of data in financial services.
- How to turn governance into outcomes: enabling secure, scalable AI for your financial service organisation
