Introduction

• The Business Challenge:
  • Traditional loan approval processes are slow, error-prone, and rely on outdated data.
  • Manual reviews and data silos create bottlenecks and hinder decision-making.
  • Businesses need a way to quickly analyze vast amounts of loan data and make accurate predictions in real-time.
• The In-Database ML Solution:
  • In-database machine learning (ML) with Greenplum leverages the power of your existing data warehouse to build and deploy ML models.
  • This eliminates the need to move data out of the database, resulting in faster model training and scoring.
  • Greenplum’s MPP architecture enables parallel processing, accelerating ML tasks and providing real-time insights.
