Jack Henry Data Hub
Every financial institution wants to make data-driven decisions, but before any decision can be data-informed, you need the right data to back it up. With Jack Henry Data Hub (formerly known as Jack Henry Data Broker), you can access various data sets from core, Banno, JH Platform, and more product groups to come in the future, all in one centralized location. From there, you can run comparative queries across data sets and connect your data to third-party tools, all while maintaining complete control over who can access your data at all times.
How does it work?
Jack Henry Data Hub is essentially one, multi-tenant BigQuery instance owned by Jack Henry. We’ve built data pipelines coming from various data producers – like core, Banno, and Payments – to this central BigQuery instance where we can then store and provision the data. Because this BigQuery instance is private to Jack Henry, your financial institution’s data must be provisioned to your own private BigQuery instance via a shared listing. This allows the data Jack Henry’s BigQuery instance receives from the data producer to be shared with you as a linked data set in the shared listing and appear in your private BigQuery instance.
Once the data is in your financial institution’s BigQuery instance, you are in complete control over who sees your data and when – even Jack Henry cannot see what you choose to do with your data within your private BigQuery instance. This gives you the ability to grant role-based access to employees at your financial institution, share access to the data with third-party vendors, feed the data into visualization tools, or even import additional data into your BigQuery instance. Note: Any queries you run within your BigQuery instance will be charged to you by Google through your account.
Data access
- To access the data, your financial institution will need its own Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project – this will allow you to have your own private instance of Google’s BigQuery where you will access the data from. Note: Creating your own GCP project does not require an enterprise-level agreement or contract with Google.
- After setting up your GCP project, you will send your Google account name to Jack Henry so that Jack Henry can give your account access to the Google BigQuery shared listing.
- You will then subscribe to the listing which will allow you to access your data in your private BigQuery instance.
- You can control who has access to what data at all times through your GCP project’s Identity and Access Management controls.
