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.
DAS Slides: Data Governance - Combining Data Management with Organizational ...DATAVERSITY

- A practical list of industry Data Governance best practices
- Criteria to determine if a practice is best practice
- Steps to follow to complete an assessment
- Typical recommendations and actions that result from an assessment
Data Architecture is foundational to an information-based operational environment. Without proper structure and efficiency in organization, data assets cannot be utilized to their full potential, which in turn harms bottom-line business value. When designed well and used effectively, however, a strong Data Architecture can be referenced to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems commonly encountered in organizations.
The goal of this webinar is not to instruct you in being an outright Data Architect, but rather to enable you to envision a number of uses for Data Architectures that will maximize your organization’s competitive advantage. With that being said, we will:
Discuss Data Architecture’s guiding principles and best practices
Demonstrate how to utilize Data Architecture to address a broad variety of organizational challenges and support your overall business strategy
Illustrate how best to understand foundational Data Architecture concepts based on “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (DAMA DMBOK)
You Need a Data Catalog. Do You Know Why?Precisely
The data catalog has become a popular discussion topic within data management and data governance circles. A data catalog is a central repository that contains metadata for describing data sets, how they are defined, and where to find them. TDWI research indicates that implementing a data catalog is a top priority among organizations we survey. The data catalog can also play an important part in the governance process. It provides features that help ensure data quality, compliance, and that trusted data is used for analysis. Without an in-depth knowledge of data and associated metadata, organizations cannot truly safeguard and govern their data.
Join this on-demand webinar to learn more about the data catalog and its role in data governance efforts.
Topics include:
· Data management challenges and priorities
· The modern data catalog – what it is and why it is important
· The role of the modern data catalog in your data quality and governance programs

All Together Now: A Recipe for Successful Data GovernanceInside Analysis
The Briefing Room with David Loshin and Phasic Systems
Slides from the Live Webcast on July 10, 2012
Getting disparate groups of professionals to agree on business terminology can take forever, especially when big dollars or major issues are at stake. Many data governance programs languish indefinitely because of simple hang-ups. But a new approach has recently achieved monumental results for the United States Navy. The detailed process has since been codified and combined with a NoSQL technology that enables even the most complex data models and definitions to be distilled into simple, functional data flows.
Check out this episode of The Briefing Room to hear Analyst David Loshin of Knowledge Integrity explain why effective Data Governance requires cooperation. Loshin will be briefed by Geoffrey Malafsky of Phasic Systems who will tout his company's proprietary protocol for extracting, defining and managing critical information assets and processes. He'll explain how their approach allows everyone to be "correct" in their definitions, without causing data quality or performance issues in associated information systems. And he'll explain how their Corporate NoSQL engine enables real-time harmonization of definitions and dimensions.

When and How Data Lakes Fit into a Modern Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
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.
Get this data point for your data lake journey.
How do organizations scale data services and data science teams effectively? What are the building blocks for that process and how can formal project management methodologies like Agile help to run data projects more efficiently.
PwC Germany is working with a lot of data from different domains and sources, access to which should be properly governed. To tackle those problems and to make access to the data more transparent and straight-forward, we’re building our internal Data Ecosystem.
From this talk, we will cover the following topics:
Data storage and analytics evolution
What is Data Mesh?
How do we build it in Kubernetes?
Challenges that we were dealing with, and see in front of us.
ADV Slides: How to Improve Your Analytic Data Architecture MaturityDATAVERSITY
Many organizations are immature when it comes to data use. The answer lies in delivering a greater level of insight from data, straight to the point of need. Enter: machine learning.
In this webinar, William will look at categories of organizational response to the challenge across strategy, architecture, modeling, processes, and ethics. Machine learning maturity levels tend to move in harmony across these categories. As a general principle of maturity models, you can’t skip levels in any category, nor can you advance in one category well beyond the others.
Vis-à-vis ML, attaining and retaining momentum up the model is paramount for success. You will ascend the model through concerted efforts delivering business wins utilizing progressive elements of the model, and thereby increasing your machine learning maturity. The model will evolve. No plateaus are comfortable for long.
With ML maturity markers, sequencing, and tactics, this webinar provides a plan for how to build analytic Data Architecture maturity in your organization.

Analytical applications are everywhere these days, and for good reason. Organizations large and small are using analytics to better understand any aspect of their business: customers, processes, behaviors, even competitors. There are several critical success factors for using analytics effectively: 1) know which kind of apps make sense for your company; 2) figure out which data sets you can use, both internal and external; 3) determine optimal roles and responsibilities for your team; 4) identify where you need help, either by hiring new employees or using consultants 5) manage your program effectively over time.
Register for this episode of TechWise to learn from two of the most experienced analysts in the business: Dr. Robin Bloor, Chief Analyst of The Bloor Group, and Dr. Kirk Borne, Data Scientist, George Mason University. Each will provide their perspective on how companies can address each of the key success factors in building, refining and using analytics to improve their business. There will then be an extensive Q&A session in which attendees can ask detailed questions of our experts and get answers in real time. Registrants will also receive a consolidated deck of slides, not just from the main presenters, but also from a variety of software vendors who provide targeted solutions.

Building a Data Driven Culture and AI Revolution With Gregory Little | Curren...HostedbyConfluent
Building a Data Driven Culture and AI Revolution With Gregory Little | Current 2022
Transforming business or mission through AI/ML doesn't start with technology but with culture…and an audit. At least as much is true for the US Department of Defense (DoD), which presents significant modernization challenges because of its mission scope, expansive global footprint, and massive size - with over 2.8 million people, it is the largest employer in the world. Greg Little discusses how establishing the DoD’s annual audit became a surprising accelerator for the department’s data and analytics journey. It revealed the foundational needs for data management to run a $3 trillion in assets enterprise, and its successful implementation required breaking through deeply entrenched cultural and organizational resistance across DoD.
In this session, Greg will discuss what it will take to guide the evolution of technology and culture in parallel: leadership, technology that enables rapid scale and a complete & reliable data flow, and a data driven culture.
This is a slide deck that was assembled as a result of months of Project work at a Global Multinational. Collaboration with some incredibly smart people resulted in content that I wish I had come across prior to having to have assembled this.
DataEd Slides: Data Architecture versus Data ModelingDATAVERSITY
Data Modeling is how we do Data Architecture. Many are confused when it comes to data. Architecture, models, data – it can seem a bit overwhelming. This webinar offers a clear explanation of Data Modeling as the primary means of achieving better understanding of Data Architecture components. Using a storytelling format, this webinar presents an organization approaching the daunting process of attempting to better leverage its data. The organization is currently not knowledgeable of these concepts and begins the process of understating its current state as well as a desired future state. We join as the organization takes steps to better understand what is has, and what it needs to accomplish to employ Data Modeling and Data Architecture to achieve its mission.
