Realizing an Enterprise Data Management Strategy & Architecture at Unum

The presentation opens with some background on Unum, who ranks 257 on the Fortune 500 and provides benefits for a third of Fortune 500 companies, then transitions into our business problems and challenges within our current data ecosystem that came about as a result of multiple company mergers and acquisitions. As the story unfolds, we will share the basis for why our ecosystem looks as it does, then quickly transition into discussing the qualities that Unum is actively embracing to become a Data-driven Enterprise that ultimately influences our next generation data ecosystem.

We will lay out out a view of our next-generation Enterprise Data Ecosystem that is being built on a well-defined strategy and roadmap.
We will address how Unum’s Enterprise Data Strategy & Roadmap aligns to our Business Strategy, Goals, and Objectives.
We will touch on the critical nature of securing both long-term funding and commitment to staying the course from senior leadership.
