Reimagine analytics with Kyndryl’s Banking Data Model For Microsoft Fabric

In today's rapidly evolving banking landscape, many institutions rely heavily on data warehouses to drive critical business operations. However, these environments frequently suffer from inadequate governance. Business units often maintain separate warehouses, lacking a unified data catalog, lineage, business glossary or semantic layer. Consequently, banks face significant operational challenges, including inconsistent reporting, compromised compliance, inefficient data processing, weakened analytical capabilities and limited customer insights.

Kyndryl's banking data model integrated for Microsoft Fabric provides a comprehensive solution, helping banks overcome these critical challenges. By adopting Kyndryl’s structured approach combined with Microsoft's scalable platform, banks can achieve:

• Enhanced data governance and compliance: Improve data governance through an integrated data catalog, lineage, business glossary and semantic layer, ensuring robust compliance and regulatory adherence.
• Single source of truth: Eliminate redundant data storage to establish accuracy, consistency and reliability across all business units, enabling a streamlined and accurate reporting process.
• Faster implementation and flexible customization: Utilize pre-built banking accelerators and modular design principles that allow for iterative, customized deployments, significantly reducing implementation timelines and overall costs.
• Advanced analytical insights: Leverage Microsoft's advanced analytics and AI capabilities to generate deeper and more actionable business insights, significantly enhancing strategic decision-making.
• Cost-effective operations and expertise-driven management: Optimize infrastructure costs with Azure’s consumption-based model and address skill gaps with Kyndryl’s extensive expertise in Azure database services and ongoing managed services support.
