Murray MacDonald Head of Enterprise Data Quality Business Information Services "Westpac is a very large organisation, with thousands of processes and millions of customers, so the role of business data and the importance of capturing the right quality of data for the right function is critical. Every day we make crucial business decisions based on data so it must be accurate and consistent. Improvements in data quality will result in bottom-line improvements to the business, as well as to the individual, by transforming people's roles to more challenging and rewarding positions. Personally, I'm passionate about improving data quality - and the opportunities it provides to influence people and change corporate cultures, to support better informed business decisions."

Ajay Parag Senior Manager, Business Engagement Business Information Services "This is a culture of 'information mastery' - information is our greatest asset and we need to be able to leverage it to maximise its value. As our business units become more integrated across the organisation, we work to ensure that information is accessible to those who need it, when they need it. We're always looking to identify new opportunities around information and its management, to create an environment where it is shared and strategically deployed throughout the enterprise. That's how we create value."
