FOCUS DAY: 9th November 2009

Enhance And Measure Data Quality In A Cost Controlled Environment

We all know time is tight for data management experts at the moment, so this year's focus day has been created to give you the chance to combine learning, networking and office priorities. Although budgets have been cut across many financial institutions, data quality continues to be a critical issue, driven by commercial and regulatory pressures. Data managers are expected to deliver ‘more with less' but there's no routemap for achieving this.

Take half a day out of the office to hear from leaders in the industry about their own experiences, and to debate how best practices can be achieved in today's cost-conscious environment. End the day with roundtable discussions, a real chance for you to get your opinions heard, ask the questions you want and hear how your competitors are coping with new demands.
