• Map current-state data lineage and selected source-to-target journeys; surface manual hand-offs, duplicated data, transformation gaps and control points.
• Investigate priority data integrity and quality issues (completeness, consistency, timeliness, duplication, reconciliation) and document root causes plus recommendations.
• Analyse cross-system client, trade and transaction identifiers to support common reference requirements.
• Produce data-focused analysis packs and impact assessments for architecture, integration, migration and vendor discussions.
