Data Management: the Tactical Component of MDM Strategy
Businesses have recognized that Master Data Management (MDM) is a necessary strategy to create and maintain customer-centric focus. However, in the frantic excitement to adopt MDM ahead of competition, companies are looking to MDM tools and IT to achieve MDM goals, forgetting the fact that MDM is not a pure IT function, but involves people and processes spanning entire company necessitating an effective DM practice be in place. In this presentation, Shravan Miryala, Ph.D., focuses on the typical DM charter and functions, who makes up a DM group, how it relates to enterprise and MDM.

BI from Both Sides
Executives are starting to get it. They understand that data warehousing is a strategic enabler, and conversations are shifting away from the platform and toward business value. As business intelligence becomes an ever more critical corporate program, line of business managers and end users are not only key stakeholders, they also increasingly hold the purse strings. This popular workshop—often attended by IT and business user teams from the same company—focuses on ways to ensure that data warehouse and BI projects remain top-of-mind in your organization.

Executive Summit: Master Data Management: The Next Wave for BI Professionals
Master data management (MDM) represents on-demand, operational data integration.

Bulletproof MDM
Many companies beginning their journey down the data governance path make assumptions about the players, participants, and activities necessary to support their initiative. In this session, Evan Levy will describe how beginning a data governance journey requires a teaming framework that differs from the normal IT/Business alignment approach. He will introduce a basic framework that identifies the different players and their roles and responsibilities in supporting the data governance initiative.

Data Governance: From Idea to Execution
As executives get ever more serious about regulatory compliance, merger and acquisition strategies, smarter target marketing, and better business intelligence, the frameworks, processes, and policy making around enterprise data has become a corporate mandate. However you define data governance, it is becoming a bona-fide requirement for supporting data integration and management for both operational and analytical business needs. Given its broad focus and cross-functional impact, new best practices are emerging to ensure that data governance is not only planned for, but deployed in a sustainable way. This presentation, by Baseline partner Jill Dyche and Dataflux CEO Tony Fisher, will discuss both the planning and execution of data governance, and offer ways for attendees to gauge their own data governance maturity.

Data Modeling & MDM: The Facts and the Fiction
With the sizzling hot emergence of Master Data Management (MDM) comes excitement, adoption, and assumptions. As with any strategic technology solution the importance of modeling and architecture in MDM is critical. While many MDM adopters understand data modeling in the context of their databases, the data model in MDM continues to be misunderstood. In this session, Evan Levy will review how MDM works and differentiate the truths and myths regarding the role that the logical data model plays within the MDM environment.

Zero to Five: A Stepwise Progression for MDM and Data Governance
Companies assessing master data management are using a variety of metrics.

On the heels of last year’s acclaimed book on Customer Data Integration, Jill Dyché and Evan Levy are back at it, once again relating their real-world experiences in planning, designing, and implementing MDM programs at Fortune 1000 companies. In this webcast, Jill and Evan will describe the evolution of MDM maturity as explained in their new white paper, “The Baseline on MDM: Five Levels of Maturity for Master Data Management.” They will walk through the various levels of MDM functionality, discuss how they build on one another, and explain how MDM maturity accelerates data governance maturity.

Bulletproof MDM
It's no secret: a master data project takes money, resources, collaboration and commitment. Who should be paying for it? What should the project team be responsible for - and perhaps more importantly, what should the line of business managers and end-users be responsible for? How will you sustain momentum and funding for your long term strategy? As you build your case for MDM, you'll need to consider questions like these. This session will help you "bullet proof" your plan before you seek project approval.

Understanding MDM Technical Deployment: Architecture and the Vendor Landscape
The days of me-too data warehouses and behemoth data provisioning systems are over. Companies are taking a much more deliberate—and cost-aware—approach to managing their master data. In this session, consultant and former industry analyst James Masuoka will examine the trend of master data management. He will cover its technical components, explain various architectural approaches, and discuss how MDM solutions can integrate into an existing IT architecture—with or without a data warehouse. The session will end with a review of the prevailing and emerging vendors in the master data management space.

Beyond the Data Warehouse: Architectural Options for Data Integration
Data warehousing used to be IT's weapon of choice for corralling the "islands of data" and bringing order to the decentralized information chaos. However, shifting business priorities, outsourcing’s popularity, and the emergence of a new set of technology solutions have changed the landscape and the complexity of managing the abundance of enterprise data. In this session, Evan Levy will identify the architectural trade-offs and issues associated with each solution—from performance and functionality to flexibility and efficiency. He will present examples and case studies where these new integration architectures and methods have been implemented.
