Paying Lip Service to Data Quality is on its Way Out, Says Deutsche Bank’s Fletcher
The days of paying mere lip service to the goal of improving data quality and living with “spaghetti-like” data infrastructures are soon to be gone, said Deutsche Bank’s head of reference data services, Neil Fletcher, to those in attendance at last week’s Thomson Reuters event. His own firm is much more aware of the importance of data quality at a senior level and has therefore been compelled to embark on a long term project to ensure that all of its downstream systems get data from the same logical place on a global basis, he explained.

Special Report: Applications of Reference Data to the Middle Office
Download this special report for FREE now! Click the link below.
Increasing volumes and the complexity of reference data in the post-crisis environment have left the middle office struggling to meet the requirements of the current market order. Middle office functions must therefore be robust enough to be able to deal with the spectre of globalisation, an increase in the use of esoteric security types and complex investment strategies, as well as rising transaction volumes. This has led many from the buy side and the sell side to consider outsourcing strategies for some of these functions, offshoring, in-house development or the acquisition of new vendor technology.
