Jojy Mathew
Swingtide


This presentation will show how the Adaptive Metadata Manager repository enables data governance policies and processes to be automated and enforced across a complex enterprise. The Adaptive Metadata Manager capabilities for metadata harvesting, role-based access, data lineage, impact analysis and data stewardship workflow will be presented. A solution to these common problems will be explained:
· Do you manage your metadata by cobbling together modeling tools, home-grown databases and spreadsheets?
· Is it almost impossible to keep metadata manually in synch across multiple tools and sources?
· Is it a pain to get an end-to-end view across multiple tools (database, logical model, ETL, Reporting) for traceability, lineage, and impact analysis?

In addition our partner Swingtide will present how they are using Adaptive Metadata Manager as the central data dictionary for a Data Mastery solution. Topics covered will include:
· The Information Strategy Imperative - business & technical challenges
· Business Dictionary - The glue linking business & IT
· Linking the Information Enterprise - process, services, data, models to derive value
· Standards-based Repository as the catalyst for reengineering & deriving business value
· Process model & methodology for Information Mastery

Simplify and Consolidate: A Business Planner's Guide to Governing Large Data Landscapes
Arka Mukherjee, Ph.D.
Global IDs

IT Managers often face a contradiction while governing their information infrastructure. On one hand, the complexity of corporate data environments is increasing relentlessly every year. On the other hand, executive management expects IT to provide more business functionality, while decreasing costs. So what to do?

Data Governance can provide a systematic way to identify opportunities to reduce cost. Because Data Governance initiatives are inherently broad in their perspective, it is possible to adopt a "cross-silo" view of the information environment. From this view, one can identify areas of redundancy in data, applications, infrastructures and maintenance. In this presentation, Mr. Mukherjee, will describe a systematic approach to simplify and consolidate enterprise data environments, thereby using Data Governance projects to support cost reduction initiatives.

The Mathematics Behind a Data Governance Program
Christina Rouse
National Practice Director, Business Intelligence

In this session presented by Christina Rouse of SilverTrain, attendees will learn how to define and identify data governance program success indicators, identify necessary data quality measurements, how to perform data sample extractions and the mathematics behind monitoring data quality. The session will move beyond theory into the mathematical details required for a successful governance program.
