How Data Governance Helps Financial Institutions Achieve Operational Excellence and Satisfy Regulators
M2 - Wed Oct 29, 7:03AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ldsv8w/how_data) has announced the addition of the "How Data Governance Helps Financial Institutions Achieve Operational Excellence and Satisfy Regulators" report to their offering. This Stratecast report will explore some troubling impacts of the failure of financial services organizations to achieve effective data governance; and will provide insights on technologies and business approaches that can help them change their fortunes by harnessing the power of Big Data. Banks and financial services firms have a Big Data problem. Financial services companies were early adopters of business intelligence (BI), using BI as far back as the 1970s for risk assessment and customer acquisition. Today, however, financial services companies are facing serious challenges on two fronts: - Master data management (MDM) - MDM provides a blueprint for how organizations discover, access, integrate, and manage data; how they ensure data integrity; and how they distribute data to where it is needed. All of these support data governance, which, in Stratecast's Big Data model, is part of MDM. The systems in use at most banks and financial services firms provide inadequate data governance; and these firms suffer as a result. - Regulatory compliance - A long and growing list of regulators and regulations across world regions are increasing regulatory reporting requirements to the point that financial services companies are having a hard time keeping up. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2. Bumpy Economic Conditions and Incomplete or Stale Data are Posing Challenges to Financial Institutions 3. Regulations Designed to Ensure Best Practices Create Even More Challenges 4. Organizational Silos and Data Integrity Issues are Adding to the Problem 5. Data Consequences: Penalties, Sanctions, and Fines, Oh My! 6. How Data Management Supports Best Practices and Regulatory Compliance 7. Lavastorm is Helping Financial Firms Gain Data Clarity and Business Value 8. Case Study Snapshots: Leveraging Big Data Yields Compliance and More 9. Stratecast - The Last Word 10.
