The Data Governance Programme of the bank, initiated and managed by BI Competency Centre (BICC), was adjudged top-notch compared to other applicants' entries vis-à-vis the judging criteria of business impact, relevance, maturity and innovation.
TDWI also highly valued the bank for applying experiences from other developed countries in the world to build a roadmap for data management in each phase under international standards.
VP Bank's representative said in addition to developing and renovating products as well as improving services' quality, the bank has always focused on investment in information and technology, building data management capacity to maximise available resources.
This could help ensure operation, enhancing security and competitiveness as well as risk management for the bank.
The award has confirmed the validity of its development target.
It would continue to renovate products and services to bring outstanding benefits to customers and make it an international standard bank.
