Details

ABN AMRO’s Central Data Office stands at the forefront of data innovation, meticulously crafting and executing the bank’s data strategy to unlock unparalleled value. With its eyes set on a data-centric future, the CDO harmonizes the intricacies of data governance, engineering, and management under a unified vision. Championing the Federated Data Governance Model, it not only ensures pristine data quality and streamlined initiatives but also champions compliance and efficiency across the board. By introducing strategic roles like Data Business Partners and revitalizing our approach to data, the CDO is the bank’s beacon for informed decision-making and a culture of excellence in the digital age.

In Data Management Engineering, our goal is to improve business operations and introduce new capabilities across the organisation. To accomplish this, our talented engineers, data scientists, and analysts are responsible for democratising data via visualisation and governance web portals. Using Azure's platform as a service, our developers have delivered a cloud-based solution to visualise and manage ABN AMRO's data (The Data Marketplace). The backend is powered by NodeJS and Python, while the frontend provides a rich user interface using VueJS and Typescript. Our frontend team has used ABN's AMRO Emerald components library and custom components to handle mouse clicks and used REST web services for seamless integration with our DIAL data platform. We created a highly interactive cloud-based solution to find and manage complex data quickly.
