Fifth Third Bancorp

Fifth Third Bank has implemented a Center of Excellence for Data Integration to improve the overall governance and standards for integrating information across the enterprise. This approach enables the IT organization to focus more on the strategy of the business and less on the tactical implementations themselves since the methodology and standards are in place to ensure consistent application of integration rules and procedures. As a result, they are more accurately able to predict the level of effort required during development time and can improve their contribution to the bottom line of the organization.
