Topic 1: Data Governance: How it drives company revenue, mitigates risk, controls
and reduces costs across the enterprise
Data Governance is the buzz of today's business
environment with companies beginning to recognize the industry's call to protect
and manage their data assets. Though they hear the message most organizations have
little substantive idea of what this really means to their company and their business.
Individuals that do have a solid understanding about the importance of data governance
are commonly buried several layers deep within the organization with limited options
for quantifying the business impact let alone to elevate the message within the
company hierarchy.
This presentation will help business leaders fully
understand what data governance is and how it drives company revenue, mitigates
risk, controls and reduces costs across the enterprise.
Topic 2: Data Warehousing 2.0 - Integrating the Structured and Unstructured
Data in a Single Repository
Data Warehousing today has evolved to influence
critical business support systems. The advent of Web2.0 has led to data explosion
like never before, data from sources beyond the transactional systems have made
inroads into the Data Warehouse. Some of this unstructured data is the real intelligence
about the business. To adapt the data warehouse to the Web2.0 way, Bill Inmon's
DW 2.0 is the new pathbreaking methodology, which integrates the structured and
unstructured data into a single repository, with the utilization of existing MDM
and Metadata information. In addition to this, DW2.0 also provides a robust Information
Lifecycle Management process.
In this session, we will look at Web2.0, Dw2.0
and ILM, and how effective utilization of the methodology will enable you to build
a better Data Warehouse Information Architetcure for the future.
