What are Lightcast Data Shares?
Following the launch of Lightcast Data Shares, Lightcast data is now available through direct data shares on Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and other leading file storage platforms, data warehouses, and marketplaces.
Data sharing through Lightcast is seamless, flexible and secure, shared directly with existing file storage platforms or data warehouses. As an added benefit, little to no technical lifting is required from customers’ internal teams.
Thanks to Lightest Data Shares, delivering data through data sharing is simple and clients also have the option to dissect, modify, or prepare data before integrating it into their internal or external solutions. Shared data is always up-to-date and secure, because data is shared directly with each customer’s existing cloud storage or warehouse as platform-native sharing, a data feed, or both.
Because accepting Data Shares from Lightcast requires few technical resources, this leads to decreased costs and faster processes. Data Shares make the process of using Lightcast data for ingestion into large language models (LLMs), AI solutions, and predictive analytics models easier than ever for clients.
Lightcast Data Shares can also be tailored based on each organization’s business needs and each Data Shares integration can be fully operational in less than two business days.
