As you are aware, the issues on the top of minds of senior management in banks are all focused on how to integrate and standardize business processes to improve efficiency and productivity. Hence, the ability to share business critical information across different business units is vital in order to expedite making accurate business decisions and ensuring compliance.

The Asian Banker Research has been doing some preliminary work in this area and we would like to share some of our findings as well as obtain your valuable input based on your banking and operational experience. The meeting held over breakfast will involve the following agenda.
