Oceans of Data: Recognizing the Perils in Corporate Banking Data Transformation, The Challenges of Developing and Implementing a Data Strategy
Abstract

Banks have been on a journey to create more value from the data they have, but in many cases this has not met expectations. As a result, corporate banking risks missing the boat in capitalizing on the vast amounts of data available. Perhaps it is because data is such a pervasive part of the business that deriving the anticipated step change in value is so elusive.
