The BIQH Bootcamp: Onboarding made easy with AI

9 January 2025 Jan-Douwe Ekhart

At BIQH, we are always looking for innovative ways to enhance both our products and our team’s development. This year, during our AI week in Italy, a yearly tradition where we tackle exciting AI projects, we took on a new challenge: creating an onboarding course for new colleagues. The result is the BIQH Bootcamp, a complete training program designed with the help of AI to fast track new hires’ understanding of both the world of market data and our products.

A tailored learning experience

The BIQH Bootcamp consists of five modules spread across 25 chapters, offering a deep dive into essential topics such as:

Market data management: Everything new employees need to know about market data, from understanding what a bond is to data licensing knowledge or different types of systems.
Introduction to BIQH: Getting to know the company, our philosophy, our commercial strategy, and our products.
Technology insights: Exploring the technical backbone of our products, for example, our data model, how our products work and why they exist.

Each chapter in the BIQH Bootcamp features interactive content, including quizzes at the end of every section and module, ensuring an engaging and hands on learning experience.

Designed for new hires and everyone else

While the bootcamp primarily targets new employees, its usefulness extends to our entire organization. For existing colleagues, it also provides a fun way to explore topics outside their usual expertise or look up information in an interactive format. The course balances depth and accessibility, using AI to deliver content that is not only informative but also enjoyable to read. The quizzes add a gamified element, transforming onboarding into an engaging and rewarding process.

Why we created the BIQH bootcamp

We believe that onboarding should not be overwhelming or tedious. By investing in this AI powered bootcamp, we are ensuring that our new colleagues get up to speed quickly while maintaining a cohesive understanding of the industry and our offerings. Previously, introducing new colleagues to the world of market data was a time-intensive task for both managers and team members. With the BIQH Bootcamp, we have streamlined this process, creating a unified foundation where everyone speaks the same language through a standardized explanation enriched with BIQH’s unique perspective. AI has been a transformative force in making this possible. Moreover, the program supports our commitment to knowledge sharing, collaboration, and continuous improvement, values that define us at BIQH.
