Big Data
“The use of massive volume of both structured and unstructured data too large to process using
traditional database and software techniques.”
Big Data covers three Vs:
Volume. Organisations collect data from a variety of sources, including business transactions, social media
and information from sensor or machine-to-machine data. In the past, storing it would’ve been a problem –
but new technologies have eased the burden.
Velocity. Data streams in at an unprecedented speed and must be dealt with in a timely manner.
Variety. Data comes in all types of formats – from structured, numeric data in traditional databases to
unstructured text documents, email, video, audio, stock ticker data and financial transactions.
7 New technologies
Big Data
Big Data Characteristics:
 Maintain a competitive edge.
 Through structure and unstructured data, complex algorithms can execute trades using a number of data
sources.
 Sophistication of statistical techniques.
Chances for the Financial Industry:
 Individualised customer experience within the financial services
 More efficient segmentation and targeting
 Optimization and automation of business processes
 Improved cyber security and risk management (prevent hackers by better fraud identification)
 Increased employee performance management
8 New technologies
Cloud Computing
“The use of various services, such as software development platforms, servers, storage and software,
over the internet, often referred to as the "cloud“.”
Cloud computing is developing fast. Estimates indicate that these developments could lead to the growth of the
European cloud market from €9.5bn in 2013 to €44.8bn by 2020, i.e. almost five times the market size in 2013.
(European Commission)
Cloud computing features for the financial industry:
 Security
 Cost effectiveness
 Storage and big data
 Scalability
 Compliance
 Availability of Data / Mobility
9 New technologies
- Combination of specific IT-
infrastructure from public and
private clouds
- For a specific organisation
- Hosting and administration can
be internally or externally (3rd
party) managed
- Similar as the public cloud,
however for a smaller audience
that shares the costs (for
example government offices)
- Access to specific IT-
infrastructure for the public.
- Renting of IT-infrastructure on a
flexible basis (pay as you use)

Artificial Intelligence
“A branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behaviour in computers. Artificial
intelligence mirrors the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behaviour.”
Artificial Intelligence is taking the financial services industry by storm. Almost every company in the financial
technology sector has already started using AI to save time, reduce costs, and add value.

Cyber Security
“Cyber Security is a subset of information security. It specifically focuses on protecting computer systems
and their components, including hardware, software and data, and digital infrastructure from attack,
unauthorised access or being otherwise damaged or made inaccessible. Data centres, websites,
programmes, servers or accounts can all be exploited through a cyber attack.”

Cyber Security
Average expenditures on cybercrime are increasing dramatically, and costs associated with these crimes can be
crippling to companies who have not made cybersecurity part of their regular budget.
The average cost of a malware attack on a company is $2.4 million (source: Accenture)
The three pillars of cyber security:
 People - Users must understand and comply with basic data security principles
 Process - Organisations must have a framework for how they deal with both attempted and successful
cyber attacks
 Technology - Essential for computer security tools needed to protect themselves from cyber attacks

SUMMARY AND QUESTIONS
37
Definition of ICO Corporate Finance Still a niche market
 The most ICOs should be
correctly named ITO,
because of issuing tokens
on existing blockchains
like Ether (and not on own
blockchain)
 Token Issuing fits well
into our existing
models explaining
Corporate Finance
 Accounting Standards
(balance sheet) Table of
classification, process
of issuance
 The market of
tokenisation is still
underdeveloped with a
huge potential
 Non digital assets
could be digitalised in
the future
Innovation Power
 Tokenisation brought up
some new financial
products
 But the real potential
comes technically:
lower transaction costs,
shared infrastructure and
internationalisation

• Blockchain is a decentralised system that links several users by the underlying
distributed ledger technology.
• The decentralised database links each user and enables insights into every
transaction within that blockchain.
• Every user ownes an identical duplicate of the database.
• A specific amount of transactions are stored in blocks. Each block gets furthermore
added to a previous block that is currently the last block within the „chain of
blocks“.
• Information that is stored in a block can not be changed afterwards.

MOTIVATION
Eva Kailin (Member of the European Parliament)
We do not want to stop innovation,” she explains. “The resolution[1] is a roadmap to support this
very exciting technology. We [the European Parliament] have shown that we are open-minded.” (…)
“By its nature, blockchain technology doesn’t recognize borders,” she says. “It’s unstoppable. You
will be disrupted if you don’t try to understand it. Instead you need to see the potential.”

European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)
ICOs are highly speculative investments. ICOs, depending on how they are structured, may fall
outside of the regulated space, in which case investors do not benefit from the protection that
comes with regulated investments. ICOs are also vulnerable to fraud or illicit activities, owing to
their anonymity and their capacity to raise large amounts of money in a short timeframe.

ICOs, depending on how they are structured, may fall outside of the regulated space, in which case investors do not benefit from the protection that comes with regulated investments. ICOs are also vulnerable to fraud or illicit activities, owing to their anonymity and their capacity to raise large amounts of money in a short timeframe.
