Lunch and Learn Seminar Series-Master Data Management for the Real World

Papa Razzi-Burlington

February 26, 2008

11:30 AM - 1: 30 PM

 

For every valid report there is an invalid one - a twist on an old adage, but one every BI director knows far too well. Why does this happen? Because data doesn’t manage itself. It needs “stewardship” by the business to ensure the data matches the definitions as the business sees it. By implementing a sound master data philosophy, companies can define – and enforce- what their data means, such as what is a “customer”, “product” or “asset”. Often, simple miscommunication between IT and the business can lead to bad information driving decisions – and often caught before it is too late.

Join us at Papa Razi and hear from practitioners that have actually implemented Master Data Management projects, architected solutions, and managed projects - network with your peers and enjoy a great lunch on us.

You'll learn from experienced MDM practioners as they share their feedback and experience on some commonly asked questions:

  • How should we start?
  • What should we prioritize?
  • What are the components?
  • How do we justify it?
  • How can we increase our chances of success?
  • What is the difference between Master Data and Meta Data?
  • What about Data Quality and Integration?
  • What have others done?
