Directly proportional to a problem’s complexity is the intellectual effort needed to solve it. The ability to navigate huge swathes of data and derive real business value from it is one such complex problem facing organizations today.

Saxo Bank recognized this fact early on and has been on a journey to be a truly data-first organization. Saxo Bank’s partnership with Thoughtworks was centered around achieving goals in data management and governance. The task was to ramp up speed, have better visibility into, and the quality of data handled, to positively impact the value that Saxo Bank was able to create.

The approach required thinking beyond traditional data warehousing and data lake solutions. It required data architecture that was technologically agile and capable of responding to dynamic shifts. The Saxo Bank – Thoughtworks partnership developed a platform solution leveraging principles of Data Mesh that, today, is empowering business users through complete data ownership and effective data governance.

Banking Frontiers brings together experts from Saxo Bank and Thoughtworks who will elaborate on their Data Mesh strategy and share insights about the challenge analysis, solution mapping, the project team’s structure and the controls that were put in place to efficiently execute the project.
