Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
LSEG was dealing with petabytes of data across 30 systems and 1,200 datasets, spanning a variety of longstanding systems each with its own tech stack, distribution method, and data model, and wanted a more unified customer experience across its product offerings, since product instability would be an economy-wide issue given global reliance on LSEG's financial data.
The solution
LSEG partnered with Microsoft to co-engineer a unified data platform built on Microsoft Fabric, using Apache Spark on Fabric, Apache Airflow in Fabric, and Microsoft Purview to build scalable pipelines with embedded data quality checks, and OneLake for interoperability. The company is also building AI-readiness by hosting Model Context Protocol (MCP)-powered data in OneLake, enabling financial professionals to build custom AI agents via Copilot Studio.

TBC Bank Operationalizes Trusted Data with Lakebase
TBC Bank, the largest banking group in the Caucasus region, built a Lakehouse on Databricks and adopted Lakebase and Databricks Apps to move from on-premises SQL Server instances and month-long reporting cycles to self-service analytics and AI-driven applications, including a web-based AI chatbot and AutoML-based credit risk scoring.

ING Bank transforming operations through agentic AI
ING Bank is running multiple AI projects across operations, governed centrally under its COO. Live/early-production efforts include a retail chatbot, AI-driven identification of hidden affluent clients for marketing, AI-assisted transaction monitoring that helps investigators close standard alerts faster and focus on risk, and a customer due diligence (KYC) redesign that uses existing public and behavioural data to auto-answer most of a roughly 100-question review, cutting due diligence from days or weeks to seconds. ING is also developing agentic AI to handle mortgage applications end-to-end (credit checks, data collection) starting in 2026. ING's COO said AI introduced to an operations process yields a 25% productivity gain, with freed capacity redeployed to growth and more complex work, and its CTO described 'conservatively aggressive' governance restricting AI exploration to five areas under COO control.
