This new A-Team research, commissioned by GoldenSource, looks at current buy-side data management practices and extends and builds on the indepth research conducted by this specialist research and publishing house during 2007. This report focuses specifically on the data management challenges asset managers are facing today. How do buy-side findings compare with the 2007 reference data studies? Overall, 2008 results fortify those of 2007 while demonstrat-ing progress and increased awareness of the dual challenges of maintaining central data repositories and satisfying downstream applications. A chief data officer in asset servicing summed it up well, "There's a thirst for data, and we're all weeding our way through it. These are real requirements emerging from buy-side front offices wanting to be on the cutting edge. Integration into data management systems is a challenge." This report is based on the results of structured discussions held with a representative global sample of senior managers involved in reference data management at buy-side firms.
