Executive Summary
Markets Flare is a solution that gives real time access to complex financial data with a particular focus on a user-friendly interface, thereby providing access to financial data also novices. Markets Flare is based on recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning that allow it to transform raw data into insightful, easy-to-understand, and manageable information. The underlying basis of the Markets Flare decision support system is the iterative application of tailor-made learning algorithms to financial information retrieval and processing.

The retrieved information is seamlessly combined with numerous financial models that are provided in the Reporting Assistant tool; one of the six integral tools of Markets Flare described below. Capitalizing on the scale advantages generated by applying machine learning algorithms to big data, Markets Flare is a cost-effective integrated suite of information retrieval and processing tools to support the entire financial decision-making cycle, from news coverage and analysis (including alerting) to financial data visualizations, data analysis to financial planning and reporting.
