market

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IHS

Data Management

process. EDM will run within UBP’s new front to back office system to

technology infrastructure,” said Laurent Nicolaï de Gorhez, UBP Chief
Operating Officer Asset Management. “The flexibility and strong
reputation of EDM were important factors for us in the decision-making
process. While the initial phases of the project will focus on data
quality and security master, we will be able to extend EDM to other use
cases, such as data governance, in the future.”

reinforces our position as a leader for data management solutions in
this market,” said Andrew
Eisen
, global head of EDM and thinkFolio at IHS Markit. “As UBP
