Bradley, who recently co-authored the book "Data Modeling for the Business: A Handbook for Aligning the Business with IT Using High-Level Data Models" comments, "FIMA 2011 provides us with a great platform to showcase the business value that can be derived from Master Data Management. Clydesdale Bank will be presenting alongside us at the conference, explaining the challenges they faced when required to restructure its data frameworks for legislative compliance regulation."

In response to the legislative requirements, Clydesdale Bank created a ten year Information Management roadmap, with IPL, to create accurate, reliable and sustainable information within a secure, 'single source of truth' data environment. In completing this project, Clydesdale Bank identified a number of opportunities to improve customer service approaches and comply with stringent UK Financial Services regulation through the effective use of Master Data Management and Data Governance.

Bradley concludes, "Supported by our client Clydesdale Bank, we have a great opportunity at FIMA 2011 to educate the industry on the power that a secure Information Management and Data Governance strategy can have when required to be compliant with UK Financial Services regulation. We are therefore looking forward to the opportunities that attending FIMA 2011 will bring."
