In my current position as a business analyst I am involved in product development tasks where we create new

products according to group requirements and we support the ad hoc product development requests of the Sales

Department. In the framework of these projects my role is the gathering and the documentation of the

stakeholders’ requirements and producing the system requirements specification to support the development

team’s work.

Recently I also work on the Solvency II Project, focusing on data quality requirements. With the involvement of

project team members delegated by the Finance and Actuarial Department, we completed a data inventory and

data definitions, by specifying the Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 data quality criteria, safeguarding the data

integrity of file communication of the back-end system and the interfaces.

In the FATCA Project I have to compose the set of changes what we are obliged to execute in our back-end

system, in the client letters and other documents as well as in the business processes on the basis of ING Group

and legal requirements. The primary stakeholder is the company lawyer who provides me with legal feedback.

Further stakeholders are the Product Management Team who is responsible for the content and layout of client

documentation as well as the Administration Team to align changes on the screens of the back-end system and

to agree upon the process changes (e.g.: new mandatory data capturing, to enable us to find FATCA indicia or to

perform detailed manual checks in the clients’ documents).
