IHS Markit announced it has launched its Data Lake, making it easier to explore and extract its vast amount of market intelligence, in addition to proprietary and third-party data. According to IHS Markit:
Our Data Lake empowers you to uncover business insights more quickly by exploring, accessing and coalescing our data, your data and third-party data on a single, cloud-based platform…The Data Lake is populated with 1,000 of our datasets from multiple industries, including financial services, automotive, maritime, energy and natural resources. To expedite time-to-value, these have been curated into more than 200 data packages. The Data Lake can also be used to store, organize and catalog your own proprietary and third-party data.
This follows two driving trends we are seeing in market intelligence offerings: 1) self service (ultimate form of customization), and 2) power platforms (platform upgrades incorporating greater amounts of data combined with analytics, AI, and machine learning capabilities to glean deeper insights).
