Description

Financials services institutions like international banks and insurance companies frequently need to adapt to changes in their environments, yet maintain control risk and ensure regulatory compliance.

The author Hans Wegener reveals how Metadata can be used to achieve a successful and technological evolution.

This unique approach is divided into three parts to:

  1. Explain how metadata can be used to increase an organization’s ability to adopt changes
  2. Outline the peculiarities of financial corporations and how they affect value creation and solution design
  3. Present the practical side of effectively managing metadata and sustaining long term success

Wegener firstly illustrates the peculiarities of both metadata management and the financial services industry. He combines both, puts them into context of use, and explains where and how this makes life difficult, as well as where and how value is created. This enables the reader to understand the impact of metadata management on his/her organization, its typical side effects, necessities, and benefits.

The book then goes onto reveal how different crosscutting concerns managed in large financial corporations (change, risk, and compliance management) can revolutionize business by supporting them with metadata management. This provides a blueprint to be used in strategic planning. Finally, the mechanics of three important practical areas are discussed in-depth, namely managing evolution, quality, and sustainability. This provides helpful scripts for practitioners to be used in real-life.

描述

金融服務機構,如國際銀行和保險公司,經常需要適應環境變化,同時控制風險並確保合規性。作者Hans Wegener揭示了如何使用元數據實現成功的技術演進。

這種獨特的方法分為三個部分:
1. 解釋元數據如何用於提高組織適應變化的能力
2. 概述金融機構的特殊性以及它們如何影響價值創造和解決方案設計
3. 提供有效管理元數據並保持長期成功的實際方法

Wegener首先說明了元數據管理和金融服務行業的特殊性。他將兩者結合起來,將它們放入使用的上下文中,並解釋了這在哪裡以及如何使生活變得困難,以及價值是如何創造的。這使讀者能夠理解元數據管理對組織的影響,其典型的副作用,必要性和好處。

然後,本書揭示了在大型金融機構中管理不同的橫向關注點(變更,風險和合規管理)如何通過元數據管理來改變業務。這為戰略規劃提供了藍圖。最後,深入討論了三個重要的實踐領域的機制,即管理演進,質量和可持續性。這為從業人員在實際生活中使用提供了有用的腳本。
