There’s growing recognition in the analyst community that reference data is a form of master data that requires its own governance. Locations, currency codes, financial accounts, and organizational hierarchies are so widely used in an organization that mismatches can result in: reconciliation issues, poor quality analytics or even transactional failures.
While it’s easy to see how poor reference data management (RDM) can cause problems, many companies struggle with determining how to get started. Multiple questions arise: What’s the scope? How should one choose between RDM solutions? How do I compute ROI? To answer these questions and more, Orchestra Networks teamed up with Aaron Zornes, Chief Research Office of the MDM Institute and Godfather of MDM, for: Everything you ever wanted to know about Reference Data (but were afraid to ask).
In this hour long webcast featuring Aaron Zornes (MDM Institute) and Conrad Chuang (Orchestra Networks) you will learn the:
Characteristics of reference data,
Key features of a reference data management (RDM) solution,
Lessons learned RDM implementations,
and more

MOSA webinar: Small Cell Networks: Lessons LearnedWi-Fi 360
We would like to invite you to an exclusive webinar entitled 'Small Cell Networks: Lessons Learned', presented by Maravedis-Rethink and featuring our guest speaker Jim Parker, Senior Manager of the Antenna Solutions Group at AT&T, one of the world's most advanced deployers of small cells.
Mr Parker's team is responsible for in-building solutions including small cells, DAS and others, and is a vital element of AT&T's ambitious plan to roll out 40,000 small cells over two years. The first phase of that roll-out is currently taking place, and the webinar will feature some of the earliest insights into the progress of the program, and the lessons learned so far.
With operators round the world formulating their strategies for small cell deployments over the coming years, AT&T's experiences will be eagerly watched. The webinar will offer a unique opportunity to hear about the achievements and challenges so far, and to gain insights into AT&T's future plans in this important area of 3G and 4G roll-out.
Topics will include technology platforms for small cells; neutral hosting; the challenges of the indoor environment; and interworking with other technologies such as Wi-Fi, with an eye to the future HetNet.
These insights will be complemented by key findings from Maravedis-Rethink's MOSA (Mobile Operator Strategy Analysis) and RAN Service analysts. MOSA tracks the top 100 4G operators and their business strategies, and has a per-carrier analysis of small cell deployment plans, among other topics. Meanwhile, the RAN Service tracks worldwide roll-outs of all types of carrier infrastructure, with granular five-year forecasts in areas including metrocells and DAS.
In the webinar, Research Director Caroline Gabriel will share selected highlights from the latest MOSA Quarterly Report and RAN forecasts, including exclusive data in areas such as enterprise wireless and LTE-Advanced.

Optimizing the HetNet: Key decision points for mobile network operators webinarWi-Fi 360
Mobile network operators (MNOs) are now in the process of determining their network strategies for the next five years, and in many cases these involve a move towards heterogeneous networks (HetNets).
These networks will involve large numbers of cells, based on different technologies and spectrum bands. HetNets need to be fully optimized to deliver the performance and return on investment that MNOs need. And this will require many new tools including self-optimizing networks (SON).
Hear Caroline Gabriel, Research Director at Maravedis Rethink Wireless Infrastructure Analysts share key findings of its Optimizing the HetNet white paper, which was based on interviews with leading MNOs regarding their RAN optimization strategies. In particular, she will address a critical choice – whether to opt for a third party, multivendor solution or leverage incumbent vendor-supplied tools. Accompanying Ms. Gabriel is Neil Coleman, Director of Marketing at Amdocs. He delved into the key role that Amdocs RAN solutions will play in this complex HetNet environment.
RAN dimensioning: Lessons learned by TelstraWi-Fi 360
When investing CAPEX in capacity related Radio Access Network infrastructure, Telstra tries to balance a number of competing goals: maximize the customer experience; for the largest number of customers; with the most effective use of invested capital; through the selective expansion of network hardware.
Because modern wireless networks rely on soft capacity to efficiently provide as much capacity as possible, proper RAN dimensioning must be able to accurately take the effects of soft capacity into account. Current methodology for KPI thresholds, however, cannot provide an accurate understanding of customer experience.
During this exclusive webinar featuring prominent speakers from Telstra, Ascom and Maravedis-Rethink, we will discuss a more effective approach to understanding the relationship of soft capacity and customer experience.
Participants in the webinar will learn how this better approach to RAN dimensioning can lead to improved customer experience and more efficient use of CAPEX.
In addition, Research Director Caroline Gabriel will discuss the broader issues of optimizing and dimensioning the access network, with relation to recent research conducted with a broad base of major mobile operators worldwide.

HETNET Strategies with Oi Brazil and Maravedis-Rethink Sept 2014Wi-Fi 360
Operators are moving towards hyper-dense networks made up of far smaller cells of coverage. However, many technologies will be used to fill those cells – self-contained mini-base stations, enhanced WiFi hotspots, DAS and distributed radio systems. Even Cloud-RAN will start to make an appearance, with operators often more willing to experiment with new virtualized architectures in their small cell layers. This webinar will examine the mixture of technologies which will go into the dense small cell network of 2015-2019, and the future impact of virtualization, based on Maravedis-Rethink’s most recent surveys of over 100 mobile and converged operators worldwide.
Some key trends which explored:
The need for hyper-dense networks in certain scenarios and the progress towards achieving them
Other areas of small cell growth such as verticals
The impact of virtualization on the small cell proposition
