💰 Most firms are sitting on a goldmine of unstructured data, but without the right AI strategies, that data remains untapped. In episode 2 of Data in the AI Era, host Peter Finter and Mark Palmer explore how firms can leverage AI to break down data silos and extract real value from unstructured data. Why does this matter? A McKinsey & Company report found that only 6% of firms see real ROI from AI investments—and unlocking unstructured data is key to closing that gap. 📽️ Watch this clip for insights, and check the comments for the full episode + key takeaways. #KX #DataInTheAIEra #AIInvestments #DataQuality #AIAdoption #AlgorithmicTrading

🫂 Our DevSecOps team got together to volunteer at the Age NI charity shop in Newtownards earlier this month! From rearranging the store layout and moving furniture to sorting clothing and setting up displays, they rolled up their sleeves to support a great cause. Age NI is the leading charity for older people in Northern Ireland, dedicated to helping them enjoy a better later life through care services, advocacy and community support. A huge thank you to shop manager Kellee for the warm welcome (and the tea and treats!) as our team lent a helping hand.
