"Data management, and the quality of financial and client data, is a critical consideration of all banking and investment firms in light of increasing pressure to comply with regulatory initiatives such as Basel II and III, FATCA, Dodd-Frank, and Legal Entity Identification," said Mr. Asprey, vice president, strategic consulting at Trillium Software. "By employing a transparent, repeatable and easily-deployable approach to data management across the enterprise, financial institutions will be able to obtain a significantly more accurate picture of their risk exposure within these critical regulatory regimes."

Mr. Asprey will be speaking at the following sessions:

Monday, March 19 - 10:30 a.m. EDT - Data Quality & Risk Workshop: "Building A Practical Data Quality Certification Process For Risk And Compliance Needs" -- Interactive round table workshops provide an informal opportunity to brainstorm about key data quality and risk compliance issues and ideas. Without a holistic method of ensuring data management, financial institutions will have trouble fulfilling the requirements of regulatory compliance, especially as the industry is now coping with tighter regulatory scrutiny. Each 25-minute session will be focused on a specific theme within data quality, risk and metrics such as managing data quality across the enterprise and establishing an integrated data framework for managing risk.

Tuesday, March 20 - 10:00 a.m. EDT - "Achievable Enterprise Data Management Tactics to Implement Today" panel discussion -- A panel discussion including senior banking executives and software/solution providers that offer data management products. Enterprise Data Management poses so many wonderful possibilities for your team; however, the hurdles in front of you may loom large.

• Discussing how EDM is developing at several leading banking institutions,
• A focus on how process improvements can benefit your EDM goals,
• Leveraging your existing enterprise infrastructure to streamline reference data operations,
• Examining how to create uniform workflows that go across business lines,
