IT spending on enterprise data management projects is expected to reach over $2 billion by the end of 2009, according to a report from Aite Group. As financial firms face rising costs and increasing data management and security issues, industry awareness has strengthened demands for the improvement of data quality through a set of across-the-board standards and the implementation of consistent data framework.

Our panel session, Update on Standards -- Establishing an Internal & External EDM Framework moderated by Michael Atkin, Managing Director of the Enterprise Data Management Council, will facilitate this vital conversation through audience and panel discussion about standards for data infrastructure, markup at origination and more transparent data manufacturing processes.
