The central information provision layer within Argenta is the name for the central data hub, based on near real time Data Vault, which on one hand answers the information needs of the bank but also feeds applications such as MIFID. This layer is also the base from which the data governance is enforced. For this purpose they use Oracle Enterprise Metadata Manager and Collibra.

Target technical architectuur of CIVL

13. Based on Data Integration Concepts
15
• Data Warehouse Automation
• The Data Warehouse Institute defines data warehouse
automation as "using technology to gain efficiencies and
improve effectiveness in data warehousing processes. Data
warehouse automation is much more than simply
automating the development process.
It encompasses all of the core processes of data
warehousing including design, development, testing,
deployment, operations, impact analysis, and change
management.”
• Data Warehouse Automation & Data Vault 2.0
• Perfect combination to deliver Business Value.
• Faster Time to Market
• Supports Agile Business
• Higher Quality
• Reduce Risk (Testing not required - proven logic)
• Reduce Cost ( -40% based on existing customers)

14. Based on Data Integration Concepts
16
• Raw Data Vault = IT-project
• Integrate Source by Source (Technical Track)
• Source Analysis required.
• Only choose functional relevant tables.
• Build integrated “Data Lake” of your structured
Data.
• Business Data Vault - Presentation Layer - Access
Layer = Business-project
• Based on Functional Requirements.
• Business Data Vault
• Information Management Office (Business)
delivers conceptual models that get
translated to DV 2.0 models
• Bridges & Pits for Virtualisation of the
Presentation Layer
