**Challenge**  
A leading U.S. bank struggled with **data accessibility and compliance challenges** due to regulatory constraints, privacy concerns, and the complexity of its legacy data infrastructure. Siloed data across departments and the need to manage **PII and PCI-sensitive data** made it difficult to leverage data for analytics and AI-driven decision-making.

**Solution**  
The bank leveraged **Howso’s data insights, synthetic data, and data validation technologies** to assess which data could be safely used across the organization. **Howso’s synthetic data generation** allowed for secure data publishing within a data exchange, ensuring high utility for analytics while **removing privacy concerns**. The solution was deployed across multiple infrastructures, including **Kubernetes, Databricks, and Snowflake**.

**Impact**  
With **Howso**, the bank is able to empower both technical and non-technical teams with data that they can safely use across the organization. The synthetic data initiative is now expanding into additional regions, unlocking broader use cases for AI-driven financial services.
