The EDM Council is a non-profit trade association created by the
financial industry to elevate the importance of enterprise-wide data management
as a business and operational priority.
The Council's agenda is focused on generating research on the business and
technical challenges of EDM program implementation; the documentation of
operational best practices; the creation of auditable methodologies for
benchmarking data management maturity; addressing the requirement for business
semantics and legal entity identification standards; and improving the
management of the data chain of supply from the point of data issuance through
its consumption.
The common goal of EDM Council members is to ensure that business users trust
and have confidence that the data they need for precision-intensive applications
is fit for purpose, accessible when needed, easy to integrate into downstream
systems and comparable across multiple sources without the requirement of
additional transformation or the need for manual reconciliation. All financial
institutions, regardless of geography, area of focus or industry segment, are
invited to apply for membership in the Council, participate in our activities
and contribute to the management of the agenda.
