The Information FrameWork is a family of data, process and object models to help financial institutions transform cross-enterprise architectures.
Information FrameWork models identify and define over 80% of the data, process and software component requirements of a universal financial institution, operating in an international environment. The Information FrameWork model set is highly detailed, customizable and built on open industry standards including UML and XML. Data can be mapped from one model to another. By providing a set of predefined business templates, a framework enables the scoping, specification and design of information solutions to business challenges.
