The document discusses optimizing regulatory compliance through next-generation data management and visualization. It outlines trends like increasing data volumes, sources, and regulatory requirements that are challenging traditional compliance architectures. A modern approach is proposed using big data platforms to ingest diverse data sources, perform automated preparation and analysis, and enable flexible reporting and visualization. This can help reduce costs, speed reporting, and improve auditability versus manual spreadsheet-based processes. Examples show how data preparation platforms combined with data storage, analytics, and visualization tools help financial firms more efficiently meet regulatory obligations like the SEC's Form PF.
