AI Use Cases powered by Snowflake
Alpha Artificial Intelligence Data Quality Platform (AADQ)
Data cleansing is a time-consuming and difficult process that is fundamental to the investment process. State Street Alpha AI Data Quality breaks business problems into domains that are suitable for efficient modeling across scenarios. Example domains include Security Master, Price, FX Rate, Client Flows, Fees, Transactions, Realized or Unrealized Gain/Loss.
The tool is then able to flag data exceptions that are worthy of your attention for remediation, speeding your organization’s ability to process data by pointing attention where it’s needed.
The best part is that the tool becomes smarter the more you use it, delivering you more and more value over time. The second best part is that this will be a core component of ADP’s Enterprise Data Management (EDM) offering.
Alpha Co-Pilot
Imagine being able to talk to your data and get real answers. View trends, retrieve data, ask questions about exceptions, it sounds amazing, right? We thought so too, so we started building it.

Data are sent via batch processing and real-time. Any incoming data are validated for technical exceptions making sure that fields are in the correct format.
Enhance
Next, data are enhanced. It is ingested by the mastering engine, which aligns data from different vendors to create one record using the predefined gold copy preferences. Any suspicious records or exceptions are flagged to the centralized exception management UI. Custom classification ratings are applied, and data are enriched with user defined enrichment rules. Finally our AI tool enables faster and smarter anomaly detection.
Distribute
Now that true gold copy data has been created, they are ready for distribution and consumption. The pipeline achieves a high level of accuracy and data completeness, creating a clean, rich dataset, while maintaining integrity and preserving lineage. The data are distributed to the ADP data warehouse and the Charles River IMS, where they are consumed by end users.
