Our Mission
The importance of data continues to grow in our organisation and the Data Content Services Lab is at the heart of it.

We deliver data change right across Insurance, Pensions & Investments, Commercial, Retail, Risk, and Finance.

EDH currently contains data ingestions from over half the systems in the Group. But it’s not just about what we do: it’s about the way we do it.
