Why it mattered

As banks accelerate digital transformation, effective data management requires consistent standards, processes, and platforms across the organization. Our client needed to consolidate fragmented data resources, reduce duplicate development, and establish a unified approach to data asset creation and governance. Multiple existing platforms had made data asset management difficult to standardize, while governance processes lacked an online closed-loop workflow. Farben helped the client establish a unified data asset management platform to support consistent data governance, development, storage, and service across the organization.

What we did

l Restructured the data warehouse architecture and introduced a layered data middle-platform model for enterprise-wide data management.

l Implemented data asset management capabilities to bring data governance activities and workflows onto a unified platform.

l Established a centralized development center and underlying storage capabilities to support consistent data development and management.

l Built a unified data asset catalog and service layer to organize enterprise-wide data resources and support data sharing.

Outcome

l Reduced redundant data development by providing a common architecture and development framework across platforms.

l Enabled more transparent and traceable governance through online management of data asset workflows.

l Improved cross-department data collaboration by providing a common foundation for data discovery, sharing, and service delivery.

l Made enterprise data resources easier to identify, organize, and access for business analysis and data-driven decision-making.
