Tools alone are not the answer: Career roles and growth tracks for data professionals. In today’s (Big) data-driven information economy, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives. But tools alone are not the answer. Organizations that want to rise above their competition can only do so with the help of skilled professionals who know how to manage, mine, and draw actionable insights from the multitudes of (Big) data sources. Numerous new roles and job titles have emerged to address the high demand for specialized data professionals. This webinar brings together three individuals well qualified to contribute to this important industry-wide discussion of data jobs. We will take a closer look at these newer data management roles and present recommendations on how to enhance career paths.

This is by no means an unfamiliar dialogue when trying to get agreement on terms for a Business Modelling or Architecture planning exercise. There’s no point in trying to define business processes, goals, motivations and so on unless we have a common understanding on the language of the things we’re describing.
Since Information has to be understood to be managed, it stands to reason that something whose very purpose is to gain agreement on the meaning and definition of data concepts will be a key component. That is one of the major things that the Information Architecture provides.
At its heart, the Information Architecture provides the unifying language, lingua franca, the common vocabulary upon which everything else is based. Each other modelling technique within the complimentary architecture disciplines will interact with each other, forming a supportive; cross checked, integrated and validated set of techniques.
Furthermore. the way in which data modelling is being taught in many academic institutions and it’s perception in many organisations does not reflect the real value that data models can realise. Information Professionals must move away from the DBMS design mentality and deliver models in consumable formats which are fit for many purposes, not simply for technical design.
This talk emphasises the role of Information at the heart of all Enterprise Architecture disciplines & how well formed Information artefacts can be exploited in complimentary practices.

Good systems development often depends on multiple data management disciplines. One of these is metadata. While much of the discussion around metadata focuses on understanding metadata itself along with associated technologies, this comprehensive issue often represents a typical tool-and-technology focus, which has not achieved significant results. A more relevant question when considering pockets of metadata is whether to include them in the scope of organizational metadata practices. By understanding metadata practices, you can begin to build systems that allow you to exercise sophisticated data management techniques and support business initiatives.

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 Stewardship and Governance: how to reach global adoption and systematic ...Pieter De Leenheer
Data quality and regulations are perpetual drivers for Data Governance solutions that systematically monitor the execution of data policy. And yet, there is along road ahead to achieve Data Governance: the term is still relatively unknown, there is no political forum in the form of a Data Governance Council, and software support is moderate. Time for change ! Data Governance requires automation on the one hand and a wide adoption of business to ICT on the other.
In this lecture, we set out the basic principles to successful develop Data Governance. By way of example, we show how to translate this in Collibra's Data Governance Center. We pay particular attention to identifying and modelling data policies and rules, and to empowering them on the basis of data stewardship and configurable workflows across silos and functions in the organization. The example is drawn from the Flanders Research Information Space, where data quality is critical to drive and boost pan-European Research policy.
Increasing Your Business Data and Analytics MaturityDATAVERSITY
For a few years now, companies of all sizes have been looking at data as a lever to increase revenues, reduce costs or improve efficiency. However, we believe the power of using data as a strategic asset is still in its early stages. One of the main reasons for that is business leaders still do not understand that the data & analytics maturity should be seen as a long time journey and an evolving enterprise learning. This webinar will present some key points on how data management leaders can succeed in their mission by sharing some practical experiences.
Describes what Enterprise Data Architecture in a Software Development Organization should cover and does that by listing over 200 data architecture related deliverables an Enterprise Data Architect should remember to evangelize.
Data modelling has been around since the mid 1970's but in many organisations there is considerable scepticism and downright distrust regarding the place dta modelling should occupy. So why does data modelling still have to be "sold" in many companies, and in others people simply don't believe it's necessary " the software package has all I need"! This paper looks at the failure of organisations to capitalise on the benefits data modelling can yield and examines where in the changing information systems landscape modelling is relevant.

Data Modeling Best Practices - Business & Technical ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Modeling is hotter than ever, according to a number of recent surveys. Part of the appeal of data models lies in their ability to translate complex data concepts in an intuitive, visual way to both business and technical stakeholders. This webinar provides real-world best practices in using Data Modeling for both business and technical teams.
Self-Service Data Analysis, Data Wrangling, Data Munging, and Data Modeling –...DATAVERSITY
Self-Service data analysis holds the promise of more rapid time-to-value for both business and IT users as advanced tooling & visualization helps make sense of raw and source data sets. Does this mean that the paradigm of ‘design-then-build’ that’s typical of data modeling is no longer relevant? Or is it more relevant than ever, as more eyes on the data means more questions about core business definitions.
Join Donna Burbank for this webinar to discuss the realities of where data modeling fits in this new paradigm.
Businesses cannot compete without data. Every organization produces and consumes it. Data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, data vault, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental data issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data remediation effort. Instead, it is a vital activity that supports the solution driving your business.
This webinar will address emerging trends around data model application methodology, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Takeaways:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?

Join this webinar to learn practical ways to balance technology and business needs as you develop your future-state architecture for the coming years.
Data modeling continues to be a tried-and-true method of managing critical data aspects from both the business and technical perspective. Like any tool or methodology, there is a “right tool for the right job”, and specific model types exist for both business and technical users across operational, reporting, analytic, and other use cases. This webinar will provide an overview of the various data modeling techniques available, and how to use each for maximum value to the organization.
The content of the document, "Implementing Data Mesh: Six Ways That Can Improve the Odds of Your Success," is a whitepaper authored by Ranganath Ramakrishna from LTIMindtree. The whitepaper introduces the concept of Data Mesh, a socio-technical paradigm that aims to help organizations fully leverage the value of their analytical data.
DAS Slides: Best Practices in Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
Metadata is hotter than ever, according a number of recent DATAVERSITY surveys. More and more organizations are realizing that in order to drive business value from data, robust metadata is needed to gain the necessary context and lineage around key data assets. At the same time, industry regulations are driving the need for better transparency and understanding of information.
While metadata has been managed for decades, new strategies and approaches have been developed to support the ever-evolving data landscape, and provide more innovative ways to drive business value from metadata. This webinar will provide an overview of metadata strategies and technologies available to today’s organization, and provide insights into building successful business strategies for metadata adoption and use.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Data Drives the Business
– Make sure it’s Correct
In today’s information age, data drives
key business decisions.
Executives ask questions such as:
_ How many customers do I have?
_ What is total revenue by region for last fiscal year?
_ Which products drove the most revenue this
quarter?
Behind the answers to those questions
lies a data model:
_Documenting the source and structure
of data
› What database(s) store customer information
› How are these databases structured to store
customer information
_Defining key business terms
› What is a product? e.g. Finished goods only? Raw
materials?
_Regulating business rules
› Can a customer have more than one account?
“Data errors can cost a company millions of
dollars, alienate customers, suppliers and
business partners, and make implementing
new strategies difficult or even impossible.
The very existence of an organisation can
be threatened by poor data”
Joe Peppard – European School of Management
and Technology
“Ultimately, poor data quality
is like dirt on the windshield.
You may be able to drive for
a long time with slowly
degrading vision, but at some
point you either have to stop
and clear the windshield or
risk everything”
Ken Orr, The Cutter
Consortium
