How to harness CDMC to navigate a clear pathway to the cloud

The emergence of cloud computing has afforded firms new sources of competitive advantage, and business models have evolved in response. Whilst cloud adoption across Financial Services has been broadly positive, lack of a comprehensive roadmap for cloud adoption / cloud capabilities assessment has led to divergence amongst industry participants in both the pace and manner of adoption.

CDMC (Cloud Data Management Capabilities) is a comprehensive framework of capabilities, requirements, controls and guidance for cloud data management which will guide participants in their journey to the cloud. The CDMC workgroup is managed by the EDM Council and co-chaired by Morgan Stanley and Refinitiv, with participation from the world’s top Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), technology firms and over 20 leading financial industry firms.

Join Capco and other industry thought leaders to gain an understanding of:
  • The CDMC Framework
  • Building out solutions with CDMC
  • Tooling with CDMC and finally
  • How to elevate your relationship with regulatory bodies and the broader Financial Services industry.

Realizing the value of cloud modernization in financial services

The financial services industry is in the middle of a major market shift fueled by rising demand for more digital capabilities by both customers and employees, ongoing concerns over cyber and ransom-ware attacks, and increasing competition from FinTech’s for mind and market share. Success and survival require becoming more agile, intelligent, and efficient by modernizing legacy technology investments with modern cloud solutions from core banking platforms hosted in the cloud to Self-Service AI-enabled Analytics. Unfortunately, these cloud investments are often at risk of not performing and/or returning positive business value due to inadequate data management and data governance capabilities.

Join Microsoft, Informatica, and the EDM Council as we discuss:

  • Latest Cloud Solutions in financial services – What are companies investing in and why?
  • What are the top data management and governance challenges when investing in cloud and how is the industry responding?
  • Expert panel & audience Q&A

Building a Path to Data Intelligence

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how organizations can build a path towards data intelligence with a central platform built to:

  • Integrate data privacy and security across a single codebase to enable the re-use of data and existing compliance initiatives for core governance capabilities
  • Leverage AI/ML driven discovery and classification to create an accurate picture of your data fabric with regulatory context
  • Embed policies into your data inventory to control data access, retention, and use based on up-to-date regulatory research

What Does It Mean to Be Data-Empowered?

More than 90% of all businesses are engaged in some form of digital initiative, according to Gartner, including cloud migration, application development and modernization, and data governance for GDPR and compliance with other regulations. Of course, data is at the heart of any digital transformation effort. But it’s also at the root of complications that often prevent success. Join us to learn more about a new approach to improve the success rate of digital transformation projects and maximize the impact of their outcomes.

When you attend this webinar, you will learn about:

  • Using data intelligence to understand your data landscape
  • The importance of aligning data operations, data protection and data governance
  • Empowering all stakeholders to bring the right data to every decision

Reimagining Data Governance in the Cloud

As more and more companies move data and applications to the cloud, there are common challenges they all face. Having a plan to implement the right set of capabilities and controls for cloud data is critical to these initiatives’ success. The CDMC (Cloud Data Management Capabilities) framework was created by cloud and data management experts to provide a structured framework of capabilities and controls for organizations to accelerate cloud services adoption. Join this live webinar with authors and architects of the CDMC from the London Stock Exchange, AWS, and BigID to explore the framework and the capabilities needed to manage data in the cloud successfully.

The webinar will explore:

  • How data management solutions map to critical capabilities in the CDMC framework
  • How leading financial institutions are using the CDMC to ensure standards are consistently applied to their cloud deployments

New CDO Opportunities & Ensuring Success

The Chief Data Officer has emerged over the course of the past decade as an established corporate role. A decade ago, only 12% of leading companies had appointed a CDO. Today, 65% of firms have named a CDO, and the role has become well established. This session discusses the acceptance of the CDO role, the opportunities ahead, and the challenges that still remain for this newest of C-suite leadership positions.

This webinar will cover:

  • The rise of the Chief Data Officer
  • The cultural challenges in establishing a data-driven organization
  • The growth of the data profession and future of the Chief Data Officer role

How Chief Data Officers Deliver Business Value in Financial Organizations

Data leaders are under pressure to justify value. Chief Data Officers seeking to build a strong data organization need to be able to prioritize projects, enable resource growth and justify their ‘seat at the table’ based on ROI to the business. However, knowing how to analyze, interpret, and communicate the value of data to the larger organization is a challenge. Modern technologies and principles from DataOps need to be combined with equally robust business value assessment.

This webinar will cover:

  • Best practices for how to approach business value
  • How to assess the value of DataOps
  • How to build a value-based culture
