AI Leader Enters Into Strategic Relationship With Data and Research Platform Company, Delivering Enhanced Decision Making Tools to the Financial Services Market

CORK, Ireland & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altada Technology Solutions, a global provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that supercharge data-driven decision making in the financial services, travel/security and healthcare sectors, today announced a strategic partnership with SlyceData. SlyceData is a leading data management platform for investment researchers that automates the data wrangling process and provides intuitive tools for exploring and extracting financial data.

The partnership, effective today, will enable joint customers to seamlessly combine data from multiple sources, including those generated by Altada’s AI solutions. SlyceData’s best-in-class solution automates the crucial tasks of ingestion and concordance of data sets, complementing Altada’s suite of financial services AI solutions. Altada uses AI to generate structured datasets from previously inaccessible information, dramatically increasing the number of available data sources for financial services teams. Sharing technology capabilities, the Altada-SlyceData partnership will better serve the data analytics market across a variety of use cases.

“We’re excited about this strategic partnership with SlyceData because it greatly expands our technology capabilities,” said Allan Beechinor, Altada CEO. “Together, we will deliver a solution designed to empower professionals within financial institutions to make data-driven decisions as quickly as possible, using the best available data sources.”
