Function of the Group: Provides data streaming across the entire bank. We are EDS (Enterprise Data as a Service). We are the middle layer for the entire bank to provide customer demographic data. Any lines of business or any units of the bank who are looking for customer demographic data need to have a streaming service. Either kafka or microservice, and they use these services to fetch data from master data. Our landscape services all units of the bank.

Initiatives/Projects: With this group of resources being brought on, some will be used for different initiatives. One of the initiatives we are working on is that we are creating another platform for data that does not fall under master data and that platform we're building up so we need a few people. We also have a merger and acquisition initiative and since the legacy system is getting decommissioned we have to build that capability and be ready in case a merger comes in the future.

Industry background: Would prefer a background in either banking, health or retail – something that deals with personal data.

Team Dynamic: These resources will be joining one of multiple crews under manager
