Thirty years is a long time for a technology foundation to be as active as relational databases. Are their replacements here?
In this webinar, we look at this foundational technology for modern Data Management and show how it evolved to meet the workloads of today, as well as when other platforms make sense for enterprise data.
The data lake has become extremely popular, but there is still confusion on how it should be used. In this presentation I will cover common big data architectures that use the data lake, the characteristics and benefits of a data lake, and how it works in conjunction with a relational data warehouse. Then I’ll go into details on using Azure Data Lake Store Gen2 as your data lake, and various typical use cases of the data lake. As a bonus I’ll talk about how to organize a data lake and discuss the various products that can be used in a modern data warehouse.
This presentation was part of the IDS Webinar on Data Governance. It gives a brief overview of the history on Data Governance, describes how governing data has to be further developed in the era of business and data ecosystems, and outlines the contribution of the International Data Spaces Association on the topic.

Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.
Join Donna Burbank and her guest, Nigel Turner, as they discuss how data models & metadata-driven data governance can be applied in your organization in order to achieve improved data quality.

Data Catalog for Better Data Discovery and GovernanceDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://buff.ly/2Vq9FR0
Data catalogs are en vogue answering critical data governance questions like “Where all does my data reside?” “What other entities are associated with my data?” “What are the definitions of the data fields?” and “Who accesses the data?” Data catalogs maintain the necessary business metadata to answer these questions and many more. But that’s not enough. For it to be useful, data catalogs need to deliver these answers to the business users right within the applications they use.
In this session, you will learn:
*How data catalogs enable enterprise-wide data governance regimes
*What key capability requirements should you expect in data catalogs
*How data virtualization combines dynamic data catalogs with delivery
Activate Data Governance Using the Data CatalogDATAVERSITY
Data Governance programs depend on the activation of data stewards that are held formally accountable for how they manage data. The data catalog is a critical tool to enable your stewards to contribute and interact with an inventory of metadata about the data definition, production, and usage. This interaction is active Data Governance in the truest sense of the word.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share tips and techniques focused on activating your data stewards through a data catalog. Data Governance programs that involve stewards in daily activities are more likely to demonstrate value from their data-intensive investments.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
- A comparison of active and passive Data Governance
- What it means to have an active Data Governance program
- How a data catalog tool can be used to activate data stewards
- The role a data catalog plays in Data Governance
- The metadata in the data catalog will not govern itself
Improving Data Literacy Around Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Data Literacy is an increasing concern, as organizations look to become more data-driven.

Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program
This presentation reports on data governance best practices. Based on a definition of fundamental terms and the business rationale for data governance, a set of case studies from leading companies is presented. The content of this presentation is a result of the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
A business-friendly approach to data governance is imperative to engage all users and accommodate diverse business use cases spanning analytics, operational improvements, and compliance requirements. To increase adoption and collaboration, business and technical data users across your organisation need to have a common, agreed-upon, and documented understanding of which data is most important, what it’s called, and where it’s used.
Watch this on-demand webinar, where we explore the concept of business-first Data Governance, an approach that promotes adoption by the organisation, lays the foundation for data integrity and consistently delivers business value in the long term.
We also look at how Oripharm, one of the dynamic healthcare players in the Nordics and international markets, choose a data governance solution:
• to improve personalisation of products and services
• to achieve accurate and timely credit-risk analysis
• to increase user productivity by improving time-to-insights
• to mitigate risk and facilitate regulatory compliance and reporting

Thirty years is a long time for a technology foundation to be as active as relational databases. Are their replacements here? In this webinar, we say no.
Databases have not sat around while Hadoop emerged. The Hadoop era generated a ton of interest and confusion, but is it still relevant as organizations are deploying cloud storage like a kid in a candy store? We’ll discuss what platforms to use for what data. This is a critical decision that can dictate two to five times additional work effort if it’s a bad fit.
Drop the herd mentality. In reality, there is no “one size fits all” right now. We need to make our platform decisions amidst this backdrop.
This webinar will distinguish these analytic deployment options and help you platform 2020 and beyond for success.

Whether to take data ingestion cycles off the ETL tool and the data warehouse or to facilitate competitive Data Science and building algorithms in the organization, the data lake – a place for unmodeled and vast data – will be provisioned widely in 2020.
Though it doesn’t have to be complicated, the data lake has a few key design points that are critical, and it does need to follow some principles for success. Avoid building the data swamp, but not the data lake! The tool ecosystem is building up around the data lake and soon many will have a robust lake and data warehouse. We will discuss policy to keep them straight, send data to its best platform, and keep users’ confidence up in their data platforms.
Data lakes will be built in cloud object storage. We’ll discuss the options there as well.

ADV Slides: Comparing the Enterprise Analytic SolutionsDATAVERSITY
Data is the foundation of any meaningful corporate initiative. Fully master the necessary data, and you’re more than halfway to success. That’s why leverageable (i.e., multiple use) artifacts of the enterprise data environment are so critical to enterprise success.
Build them once (keep them updated), and use again many, many times for many and diverse ends. The data warehouse remains focused strongly on this goal. And that may be why, nearly 40 years after the first database was labeled a “data warehouse,” analytic database products still target the data warehouse.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and Data Architecture. William will kick off the fourth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.

The Shifting Landscape of Data IntegrationDATAVERSITY
Enterprises and organizations from every industry and scale are working to leverage data to achieve their strategic objectives — whether they are to be more profitable, effective, risk-tolerant, prepared, sustainable, and/or adaptable in an ever-changing world. Data has exploded in volume during the last decade as humans and machines alike produce data at an exponential pace. Also, exciting technologies have emerged around that data to improve our abilities and capabilities around what we can do with data.
Behind this data revolution, there are forces at work, causing enterprises to shift the way they leverage data and accelerate the demand for leverageable data. Organizations (and the climates in which they operate) are becoming more and more complex. They are also becoming increasingly digital and, thus, dependent on how data informs, transforms, and automates their operations and decisions. With increased digitization comes an increased need for both scale and agility at scale.
In this session, we have undertaken an ambitious goal of evaluating the current vendor landscape and assessing which platforms have made, or are in the process of making, the leap to this new generation of Data Management and integration capabilities.

What is data literacy? Which organizations, and which workers in those organizations, need to be data-literate? There are seemingly hundreds of definitions of data literacy, along with almost as many opinions about how to achieve it.
In a broader perspective, companies must consider whether data literacy is an isolated goal or one component of a broader learning strategy to address skill deficits. How does data literacy compare to other types of skills or “literacy” such as business acumen?
This session will position data literacy in the context of other worker skills as a framework for understanding how and where it fits and how to advocate for its importance.

Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business world’s consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: “Big Data,” “NoSQL,” “Data Scientist,” and so on. Few realize that all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates data modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology and business investment depends.
Specific learning objectives include:
- Understanding what types of challenges require data modeling to be part of the solution
- How automation requires standardization on derivable via data modeling techniques
- Why only a working partnership between data and the business can produce useful outcomes
Analytics play a critical role in supporting strategic business initiatives. Despite the obvious value to analytic professionals of providing the analytics for these initiatives, many executives question the economic return of analytics as well as data lakes, machine learning, master data management, and the like.
Technology professionals need to calculate and present business value in terms business executives can understand. Unfortunately, most IT professionals lack the knowledge required to develop comprehensive cost-benefit analyses and return on investment (ROI) measurements.
This session provides a framework to help technology professionals research, measure, and present the economic value of a proposed or existing analytics initiative, no matter the form that the business benefit arises. The session will provide practical advice about how to calculate ROI and the formulas, and how to collect the necessary information.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesn’t address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.
Enterprise data literacy. A worthy objective? Certainly! A realistic goal? That remains to be seen. As companies consider investing in data literacy education, questions arise about its value and purpose. While the destination – having a data-fluent workforce – is attractive, we wonder how (and if) we can get there.
Kicking off this webinar series, we begin with a panel discussion to explore the landscape of literacy, including expert positions and results from focus groups:
- why it matters,
- what it means,
- what gets in the way,
- who needs it (and how much they need),
- what companies believe it will accomplish.
In this engaging discussion about literacy, we will set the stage for future webinars to answer specific questions and feature successful literacy efforts.
The Data Trifecta – Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
Change is hard, especially in response to negative stimuli or what is perceived as negative stimuli. So organizations need to reframe how they think about data privacy, security and governance, treating them as value centers to 1) ensure enterprise data can flow where it needs to, 2) prevent – not just react – to internal and external threats, and 3) comply with data privacy and security regulations.
Working together, these roles can accelerate faster access to approved, relevant and higher quality data – and that means more successful use cases, faster speed to insights, and better business outcomes. However, both new information and tools are required to make the shift from defense to offense, reducing data drama while increasing its value.
Join us for this panel discussion with experts in these fields as they discuss:
- Recent research about where data privacy, security and governance stand
- The most valuable enterprise data use cases
- The common obstacles to data value creation
- New approaches to data privacy, security and governance
- Their advice on how to shift from a reactive to resilient mindset/culture/organization
You’ll be educated, entertained and inspired by this panel and their expertise in using the data trifecta to innovate more often, operate more efficiently, and differentiate more strategically.

It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Too often I hear the question “Can you help me with our data strategy?” Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component: the data strategy itself. A more useful request is: “Can you help me apply data strategically?” Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) data strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive –particularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tyson’s truism: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” This program refocuses efforts on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. It also contributes to three primary organizational data goals. Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organization’s data
- The way your people use data
- The way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
This will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (data strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why data strategy is necessary for effective data governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of data strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Who Should Own Data Governance – IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
The question is asked all the time: “What part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?” The typical answers are “the business” and “IT (information technology).” Another answer to that question is “Yes.” The program must be owned and reside somewhere in the organization. You may ask yourself if there is a correct answer to the question.
Join this new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner where Bob will answer the question that is the title of this webinar. Determining ownership of Data Governance is a vital first step. Figuring out the appropriate part of the organization to manage the program is an important second step. This webinar will help you address these questions and more.
In this session Bob will share:
- What is meant by “the business” when it comes to owning Data Governance
- Why some people say that Data Governance in IT is destined to fail
- Examples of IT positioned Data Governance success
- Considerations for answering the question in your organization
- The final answer to the question of who should own Data Governance
It is clear that Data Management best practices exist and so does a useful process for improving existing Data Management practices. The question arises: Since we understand the goal, how does one design a process for Data Management goal achievement? This program describes what must be done at the programmatic level to achieve better data use and a way to implement this as part of your data program. The approach combines DMBoK content and CMMI/DMM processes – permitting organizations with the opportunity to benefit from the best of both. It also permits organizations to understand:
- Their current Data Management practices
- Strengths that should be leveraged
- Remediation opportunities
MLOps – Applying DevOps to Competitive AdvantageDATAVERSITY
MLOps is a practice for collaboration between Data Science and operations to manage the production machine learning (ML) lifecycles. As an amalgamation of “machine learning” and “operations,” MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery, enabling the delivery of ML-based innovation at scale to result in:
Faster time to market of ML-based solutions
More rapid rate of experimentation, driving innovation
Assurance of quality, trustworthiness, and ethical AI
MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors have emerged with offerings to support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML and Google Vertex AI. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time-to-value.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

22. 3 Major Decisions
• Decision #1: The Data Store Type
– The largest factor for distinguishing between databases and file-based scale-out system utilization is the
data profile. The latter is best for data that fits the loose label of 'unstructured' (or semi-structured)
data, while more traditional data -- and smaller volumes of all data -- still belong in a relational
database.
• Decision #2: Data Store Placement
– You must also decide where to place your data store -- on-premises or in the cloud (and which cloud). In
the past, the only clear choice for most organizations was on-premises data. However, the costs of scale
are gnawing away at the notion that this remains the best approach for a data platform. For more on
why databases are moving to the cloud, please read this article.
• Decision #3: The Workload Architecture
– Finally, you must keep in mind the distinction between operational or analytical workloads. Short
transactional requests and more complex (often longer) analytics requests demand different
architectures. Analytics databases, though quite diverse, are the preferred platforms for the analytics
workload.

23. What is the Data Platform for?
• Operational Database
• Operational Real-Time
• Operational Big Data
• Operational Data Hub
• Master Data Management
• A Data Warehouse
• A Dependent Data Mart
– Dependent
– Independent
• A Data Lake
• Analytic Big Data Application
• Archive Storage

25. Data Warehousing
• Data Warehouses (still) have a lower
total cost of ownership than data
marts
• A data warehouse is a SHARED
platform
– Build once, use many
– Access at Data Warehouse
– Access by creating a mart off the DW
• Still A LOT cheaper than building from scratch
“… a subject-
oriented, integrated,
non-volatile, time-
variant collection of
data, organized to
support
management
needs.” — Bill Inmon
26. Data Warehouses Have Flavors
● The Customer Experience Transformation Data Warehouse focuses on
customer attributes and touchpoints to improve the value of
customers.
● The Asset Maximization with IoT data warehouse deals with the high
volume of edge data tracking the physical assets of the organization.
● The Operational Extension Data Warehouse supports company
operations directly with real- time analytics.
● The Risk Management Data Warehouse supports the ever-growing
compliance and reporting requirements and corporate risk.
● The Finance Modernization Data Warehouse handles the voluminous
financial reporting and ensures the bottom line is considered in every
aspect of the business.
● The Product Innovation Data Warehouse delivers all product-related
information into the decisions of the product life cycle.
28. • Azure SQL Data Warehouse is scaled by Data Warehouse Units (DWUs)
which are bundled combinations of CPU, memory, and I/O. According to
Microsoft, DWUs are “abstract, normalized measures of compute
resources and performance.”
• Amazon Redshift uses EC2-like instances with tightly-coupled compute and
storage nodes which is a “node” in a more conventional sense
• Snowflake “nodes” are loosely defined as a measure of virtual compute
resources. Their architecture is described as “a hybrid of traditional
shared-disk database architectures and shared-nothing database
architectures.” Thus, it is difficult to infer what a “node” actually is.
• Google BigQuery does not use the concept of a node at all, but instead
refers to “slots” as “a unit of computational capacity required to execute
SQL queries,” which is also a vague and abstract concept to the average
user.
What is a Node?
29. • For many, you pay for compute resources as a function of time
– The hourly rate can vary slightly by region
– You may also choose the hourly rate based on certain enterprise features
you need
– Also, you need to add the separate storage charge to store the terabytes of
data (compressed)
• This is also expressed as per hour, although it is substantially less than
compute
• Alternatively, some cloud vendors have consumption-based pricing
models, where instead of paying by the hour, you pay by the byte
processed
– You would multiply the terabytes of data by the on-demand dollars per
terabyte pricing
– There is also a cost-per-hour flat rate where you would need to calculate
how long it would take to run your queries to completion
Costing the Platform
30. • Autonomous Administration
• Lack of Platform Features Leads to Increased Configuration
and Management
– stored procedures, referential integrity and uniqueness capabilities
– mission critical options for backup and disaster recovery, which
typically includes a standby database
– full ANSI-SQL compliance
• Performance
Total Cost of Ownership is More Than Just Cloud
Costs
31. • If an additional identical cluster is deployed to handle the additional user queries, the cost doubles
for the time period the additional cluster is up and running
Pricing Gotchas: Scale Out Impact on Cost
32. • Whenever a data warehouse does not have enough memory
to build a join hash table and keep it in memory, it has to spill
it to disk
– This is costly in terms of performance, because the DBMS has to do
double work writing, sorting, and reading the hash table information
all on disk—rather than in memory
• If you want to provision a medium-sized cluster and let it scale
up to two medium clusters during the busy hours to handle
the higher concurrency, a large JOIN would spill to disk on one
of the clusters
Pricing Gotchas: Memory Pressure on Scale Out
Compute
33. • In the cloud, storage is offered
by media type—solid state
(SSD) or spinning hard drive
(HDD)
• SSD is also offered in tiers
– Azure has Standard and Premium
– AWS has general purpose (gp2)
and provisioned (io1) SSD tiers.
Pricing Gotchas: Appropriate I/O is Expensive
35. Data Virtualization
“The right answer is not
always to centralize the
data. Data Virtualization
will be of utmost
importance as the
‘perpetual short-term’
solution to the need.”
