Institutional traders are increasingly turning to advanced AI-powered platforms to extract greater value from their data. Demand for AI in buy-side equity trading has surged, with Crisil Coalition Greenwich noting a shift from whispers to a roar in adoption. Celent's industry report underscores that digitization, advanced analytics, and generative AI ambitions hinge on robust data infrastructure.
