14:50 Panel Discussion | Building and Modernizing Architecture to Serve the Business and Improve Value
Some of the biggest banks and the smallest asset management firms have a key commonality - architecture in need of updates. Whether it’s complying with new regulations or retiring systems and building new platforms to support business capabilities, how can you ensure you have stable and consistent platforms in place? What exactly should you be looking for when creating architecture standards for different elements including business intelligence and analytics?
Panelists will discuss:
• Moving to service oriented architecture
• Reducing inconsistent legacy platforms to have a smaller list of authoritative sources and get quality from the source
• Building architecture across the enterprise linked to data quality capabilities
