Michael McNab – SVP Global Business Services, Franklin Templeton Investments

Much is written about how producing the right data could impact business results.

Growing transparency requirements around the world have put a premium on the delivery of timely data dissemination and intelligent use of the data for effective client communications. Mike will provide a business sponsor’s perspective of the many benefits (both anticipated and unanticipated) realized from data virtualization on these issues.
