LGIM on Alpha

“It’s about moving off our legacy estate and leveraging the capabilities of State Street’s Alpha platform. We needed a comprehensive rebuild and a modern data platform that we could architect our data success off of; we needed to create an enterprise-wide data operating model; we also needed a strong vision for how to execute and launch those capabilities.”
