Dark Data Whitepaper
Dark Data
A foundation for sustaining competitive advantage
Equipment finance companies today are flush with opportunities presented by data. Digital origination, contract servicing, and accounting systems have gathered data on business-critical outcomes like underwriting, funding, and payment delinquency for as many as thirty years for some companies. Most of this data is dark – rarely accessed or used by management in daily operations – even though it holds the historical record of the competitive success of the business strategy. The modern tools of machine learning and AI are ready to exploit dark data to improve competitive advantage and overall business performance.
