Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Large amounts of information are captured, generally structured, at the moment, for purely analytical purposes, where precision or a high level of quality is not an essential requirement. We use the management of several repositories in wholesale banking creating a "Golden Data" that could be used by all the bank's branches and offices in the world. Also, we try to use an Enterprise Data Governance framework. Not work properly.

  • Middleware connectivity is integrated in a correct way, from external applications (Using SIP API) or internal apps.

  • It provides repositories with easy access from anywhere in the world as it is in the cloud.
  • It complies with internal data governance regulations, it does not comply with many banking regulatory requirements.
  • It is relatively easy to model repositories, needs to improve latency times with internally designed validation rules.

  • For the moment we think that does not have much impact on the business objectives of the bank.
  • Good governance of the NOT CRITICAL DATA in the bank.
  • Good integration with bank internal or external systems.
