The bank plans to integrate and leverage data across the enterprise to create new business and cross-sell opportunities, build efficient operational policies, tighten risk controls and optimize its technology infrastructure.

Fiserv said the bank is deploying the InformEnt Enterprise Data Warehouse solution in an ASP model and once fully implemented, the solution will provide the bank with several critical data consolidation and business decision tools.

Fiserv senior vice president of data management solutions Steve Yuran said that Columbia wanted to easily access that information, including current and historical data, and have the flexibility to disseminate information throughout the organization. InformEnt takes the complexity out of managing data and gives the business user fingertip access for analysis.
