*How a UK banking group streamlined compliance with MDM* One of the UK’s largest banking groups needed to achieve a reliable central view of its data in order to: - manage financial risks - reduce operating costs - comply with complex regulations They had multiple data sources and no group-wide, central system for managing and maintaining high-quality master data. Follow the link in the comments to read how they overhauled their approach to #data management. #MDM #banking #finanacialservices https://lnkd.in/eZ9epmGS

If you have ever tried to 'sell' an initiative internally, you might have found that the toughest audience is often your own colleagues. Take something like Data Fabric. To you it might be the most obvious foundation for your business transformation. To others it might sound like a buzzword. Here's how to get the buy-in you need. #datafabric #transformation #data #digitalstransformation

Welcome to Agile Solutions, Chris Machin. Chris is our new Senior Data Modeller (Lead Consultant). Chris was attracted to Agile because he was inspired by our data specialism and modern approach. When Chris isn’t data modelling, you might find him salsa dancing, a hobby he has shared with his fiancée since they met there nine years ago. Great to have you in the team, Chris. #newstarter #team #newjoiner

The results are in. MIT research found that 87% of business leaders expect digital transformation to disrupt their industry, but only 44% feel prepared for it. We asked, if you are part of the 44%, what is holding you back? 33% said tools (or lack of them) 67% said stakeholder buy-in As we have always said, transformation is cultural even more than it is technological. If the business as a whole has not bought into the transformation, it will almost certainly fail. #data #transformation #digital

Why do you need Master Data Management in Energy, Utilities, and Renewables? The heat is on to find new ways to improve efficiency, transparency, and customer experience. Data is your greatest asset as you explore these solutions. However, the combination of customer data, asset data, and aggregation is creating a deluge of information. Plus, next year the default frequency for smart meter readings will be every 30 minutes. Can you be confident that your data is accurate? How do you know if your solutions are fuelled by reliable information, or are being diluted (even damaged) by poor-quality data? Follow the link in the comments to a guide that will help you decide if Master Data management (MDM) is the answer. #MDM #energy #renewables #greenpower #data #sustainability #netzero Read more here: https://bit.ly/4eNoHKG]

How the world's largest renewable energy business used data to make better decisions. The Challenge: The accelerated demand for renewable energy meant more data sets to manage, and a need to better analyse and compare data. The business recognised that better commercial and financial decisions required a framework to protect the reliability of data and generate actionable insights. The Solution: The client decided that introducing Master Data Management (MDM) would be the ideal way to centralise business data, improve data access, and power decisions, insight, and analytics with a single version of the truth (SVT). The business approached Agile Solutions for advice, direction, and support in the implementation of an MDM solution and the transformation of the client’s relationship with data. We implemented the Semarchy MDM toolset to create a ‘golden record’ first of operational data, and then of supplier data. The Result: The business now has holistic data insight, which means that their analysis is deeper and more effective, and they can identify patterns to inform the decision-making progress, effectively monetising their data. https://bit.ly/3W3qK5U #data #renewables #MDM

Transformation — it has the slight ring of a buzzword to it, and it does not help that the majority of transformation projects do not succeed. The proportions vary based on who you ask, but Forbes puts it at 70%. However, it is not something to dismiss — MIT research found that 87% of business leaders expect #digital transformation to disrupt their industry, but only 44% feel prepared for it, so in many organisations something has to shift urgently. That ‘something’ is very often buy-in. That is not just ‘sign-off’ or ‘budget’ — it is an organisation-wide enthusiasm for cultural change. #digitaltransformation #data #transformation
