Follow First Citizens Bank through their journey standing up a data governance infrastructure. Learn about mistakes, success stories, and how they view the next phase of their evolution as a data-centric organization. This is a practical discussion of how theory meets reality in the world of budget constraints, regulatory pressure, and sporadic organizational support. It is not THE answer to standing up a data governance infrastructure; it is one bank’s real-world experience.

This case study will include:

• Sequencing through the scale of data architecture and governance over a 5 year period as the organization grew from $35B to $200B in assets
• Principles driving success through lessons learned along the journey
• Experiences and perspectives in both centralized and federated operating models
• Establishing accountabilities across the data lifecycle
• Developing a customized maturity model and progressive target state objectives
