Effective data management | FIMA 2025

26 November 2025, 09:00 - 27 November 2025, 17:00 GMT

From complexity to clarity: unlocking the power of modern data management

When data is structured and shared well, it becomes one of your strongest assets. Yet for many financial organisations, valuable information is locked away in disconnected systems. When teams can’t share or trust the same information, progress slows and opportunities are missed. Fixing this isn’t only about technology; it’s about making data work for the whole business.

About the session

Join Laura Hughes, Head of Data at Softwire, with Gary Fuell (BNY) and Julian Fava (Railpen), for a hands-on workshop on how to make data accessible, usable and scalable across your organisation.
This session is for organisations facing data challenges and looking for a practical path to modern, cloud-enabled, and scalable data management. We’ll share what good looks like, how to get there, and what it takes to make transformation stick.
