When the Bundesbank Calls: How Data Flows Are Being Revamped

Profile	Banks must regularly submit data to the regulatory authority. But what happens when the underlying database changes and existing data flows cannot simply be carried over? Using a specific project as an example, this article demonstrates how an existing data delivery process was replaced by a new data flow during a system migration. To achieve this, the process involved identifying what information is needed, in which systems it is generated, and how it should be provided in the future. In addition to analyzing data, documentation, and processes, collaboration with numerous stakeholders played a central role: business units, IT teams, developers, and external partners had to be brought together despite differing perspectives and limited resources. The presentation demonstrates how skills from mathematics and physics—structured thinking, dealing with complex systems, and analyzing large amounts of information—are applied in practice within a consulting project.
