Many data professionals struggle with the ability to demonstrate tangible returns on data management investments. In a webinar that is designed to appeal to both business and IT attendees, your presenter will describe multiple types of value produced through data-centric development and management practices. One of our examples, the healthcare space, offers the unique opportunity to demonstrate additional types of return on investment or value outcomes, namely returns in the form of lives saved through increased rates of Bone Marrow Donor matches. In addition to metrics around increasing revenues or decreasing costs, i.e. investments that directly impact an organization’s financial position, these additional statistics of lives saved can be used to justify data management and quality initiatives.

Data-Ed: Monetizing Data Management

Show Me The Money: Monetizing Data Management
Failure to successfully monetize data management
investments sets up an unfortunate loop of fixing
symptoms without addressing the underlying
problems. As organizations begin to understand poor
data management practices as the root causes of
many of their business problems, they become more
willing to make the required investments in our
profession. This presentation uses specific examples
to illustrate the costs of poor data management and
how it impacts business objectives. Join us and learn
how you can better align your data management
projects with business objectives to justify funding
and gain management approval.

• "My reason for purchasing this book was to learn
about how organizations are finding ways to monitize
their data assets. By that I mean finding ways to generate
income using their data assets or the insights derived
from those assets."
• "This book title 'Monetizing data management', the
reason I purchased this book is to know how to earn the
money from organizational data. however this book didn't
talk anything about making money through data
management."

• "A book you can read from cover to cover on an
airplane trip or during lunch over a period of days. I'm
very big on stories, and the book contains many stories
from the authors' experiences on how to valuate data
management. It helped me brainstorm on a presentation I
was working on to explain the value of our enterprise
information management initiative."
• "A concise summary of how to put a value on data
management in your organization. I would not categorize
this book as a "how to" guide - more of a brainstorming
book to help someone come up with a value for their hard
data management work. Great stories and tangible
results!"

• Amazon rank: 1,257,801
• Task: helping our community better articulate the
importance of what we do
• Until we can meaningfully communicate in monetary or
other terms equally important to the C-suite, we will
continue to struggle to articulate the value of its role
• Today’s business executives
– Smart, talented and experienced experts
– Executive decision-makers being far removed and
insufficiently data knowledgeable
– Too many decisions about data have been poor
• Four Parts
– Unique perspective to the practice of leveraging data
– 11 cases where leveraging data has produced positive
financial results
– Five instance non-monetary outcomes of critical important

Why Is Data Management Important?
• Too much data leads directly to wasted productivity
– Eighty percent (80%) of organizational data is
redundant, obsolete or trivial (ROT)
• Underutilized data leads directly to poorly leveraged
organizational resources
– Manpower – costs associated with labor resources and
market share
– Money – costs associated
with management of
financial resources
– Methods – costs associated
with operational processes and product delivery
– Machines – costs associated with hardware, software
applications and data to enhance production capability
28
29. Copyright 2013 by Data Blueprint
Incorrect Educational Focus
• Building new systems
– 80% of IT costs are spent rebuilding and evolving
existing systems and only 20% of costs are
spent building and acquiring new systems
– Putting fresh graduates on new projects makes this proposition
more ridiculous
– Only the most experienced professionals should be allowed to
participate in new systems development.
• Who is responsible for managing data assets?
– Business thinks IT is taking care of it - it is called IT after all?
– IT thinks if you can sign on to the system their job is complete
• System development practices
– Data evolution is separate from, external to and must precede
system development life cycle activities!
– Data is not a project - it has no distinct beginning and end

• Development of systems/applications leads

• Data/information are typically considered
after the systems/applications and network/

• Problems with this approach:
– Ensures data is formed to the applications and not
around the organizational-wide information
requirements
– Process are narrowly formed around applications
– Very little data reuse is possible

Discrepancies
– If NSNs in LUAF, GABF, and RTLS are
not present in the MHIF, these records
cannot be updated in SASSY
– Additional overhead is created to correct
data before performing the real
maintenance of records
• Serial Number Duplication
– If multiple items are assigned the same
serial number in RTLS, the traceability of
those items is severely impacted
– Approximately $531 million of SAC 3
items have duplicated serial numbers
• On-Hand Quantity Discrepancies
– If the LUAF O/H QTY and number of items serialized in RTLS conflict, there can
be no clear answer as to how many items a unit actually has on-hand
– Approximately $5 billion of equipment does not tie out between the LUAF &
RTLS

• Challenge
– Millions of NSN/SKUs
maintained in a catalog
– Key and other data stored in
clear text/comment fields
– Original suggestion was manual
approach to text extraction
– Left the data structuring problem unsolved
• Solution
– Proprietary, improvable text extraction process
– Converted non-tabular data into tabular data
– Saved a minimum of $5 million
– Literally person centuries of work
50. Time needed to review all NSNs once over the life of the project:
NSNs 2,000,000

were killed in December 2001 because of a stunningly poor design of a GPS
receiver, plus "human error."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8853-2002Mar23.html
A U.S. Special Forces air controller was calling in GPS positioning from some sort
of battery-powered device. He "had used the GPS receiver to calculate the
latitude and longitude of the Taliban position in minutes and seconds for an
airstrike by a Navy F/A-18."
According to the *Post* story, the bomber crew "required" a "second
calculation in 'degree decimals'" -- why the crew did not have equipment to
perform the minutes-seconds conversion themselves is not explained.
The air controller had recorded the correct value in the GPS receiver when the
battery died. Upon replacing the battery, he called in the degree-decimal position
the unit was showing -- without realizing that the unit is set up to reset to its *own*
position when the battery is replaced. The 2,000-pound bomb landed on his
position, killing three Special Forces soldiers and injuring 20 others.
If the information in this story is accurate, the RISKS involve replacing memory
settings with an apparently-valid default value instead of blinking 0 or some other
obviously-wrong display; not having a backup battery to hold values in memory
during battery replacement; not equipping users to translate one coordinate
system to another; and using a device with such flaws in a combat situation

Expert Reports
Ours provided evidence that :
1. Company Y's conversion code introduced
errors into the data
2. Some data that Company Y converted was of
measurably lower quality than the quality of the data
before the conversion
3. Company Y caused harm by not performing an
analysis of the Company X's legacy systems and that
that the required analysis was not a part of any project
plan used by Company Y
4. Company Y caused harm by withholding specific
information relating to the perception of the on-site
consultants' views on potential project success

! Procedure Name: 230-Assign-PS-Emplid
!
! Description : This procedure generates a PeopleSoft Employee ID
! (Emplid) by incrementing the last Emplid processed by 1
! First it checks if the applicant/employee exists on
! the PeopleSoft database using the SSN.
!
!************************************************************************
Begin-Procedure 230-Assign-PS-Emplid
move 'N' to $found_in_PS !DAR 01/14/04

The exclamation point
prevents this line from
looking for duplicates, so
no check is made for a
duplicate SSN/National
ID
Legacy systems business
rules allowed employees to
have more than one
