Fluid Playing Field
The thought leadership provided in this special report on reference data technology makes a good compliment to the coverage in the July issue of Inside Reference Data. As outlined in the issue's "Golden Copy," sharing the burden or responsibility for data management tasks is a smart path to innovation and progress on the handling of data.
The data experts who contributed to this report's Virtual Roundtable also point to the need for greater agility in responding to business demands with data management solutions. Eagle Investment Systems' Paul McInnis states that firms are seeing the difficulty of predicting what they need from their data and therefore must keep data management solutions flexible. SmartStream's Adam Cottingham emphasizes that data is an asset but is often underprocessed and not shared.
Still, ANZ Institutional Bank's Mark Bands reminds us that innovation and collaboration, particularly with reference data technology, do have to take place within certain bounds. Data management platforms must integrate with different data vendors, legal entity identifier administrators, and know-your-customer data providers, as well as manage counterparty data and keep identifications synced.
Increased data volumes and storage options, including the cloud, have created demand for data solutions that can support enterprise data management strategies, McInnis also notes. He confirms that data governance is getting greater emphasis, drawing on firms' business management to be more involved in data management decisions. This squares with consultant Rares Pateanu's observations in our regular issue about centralization of data governance continuing to challenge many in the industry.
The business and operational climate, as these experts see it, is now fluid enough to allow innovative changes in reference data technology to occur.
