On Tuesday 17th November, Analytics Engines hosted the second webinar in their ‘Finding a Needle in a Haystack’ webinar series.

As part of the webinar, we explored the growing demand for Low-code, No-code data analytics solutions and showcased real-world examples of these solutions in action. We explored their impact and discussed how these types of solutions are helping to bridge the data science skills gap and empower business experts.

During the webinar, Rebecca discussed how MultiLateral, a low-code, no-code trade finance solution, developed in partnership between Analytics Engines and Coriolis Technologies, provides her and her team with meaningful insights into complex global trade data.
