The Role of Data Governance in a Data StrategyDATAVERSITY
A Data Strategy is a plan for moving an organization towards a more data-driven culture. A Data Strategy is often viewed as a technical exercise. A modern and comprehensive Data Strategy addresses more than just the data; it is a roadmap that defines people, process, and technology. The people aspect includes governance, the execution and enforcement of authority, and formalization of accountability over the management of the data.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share where Data Governance fits into an effective Data Strategy. As part of the strategy, the program must focus on the governance of people, process, and technology fixated on treating and leveraging data as a valued asset. Join us to learn about the role of Data Governance in a Data Strategy.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
- A structure for delivery of a Data Strategy
- How to address people, process, and technology in a Data Strategy
- Why Data Governance is an important piece of a Data Strategy
- How to include Data Governance in the structure of the policy
- Examples of how governance has been included in a Data Strategy

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.
Adopting a Process-Driven Approach to Master Data ManagementSoftware AG
What is a lasting solution to the sea of errors, headaches, and losses caused by inconsistent and inaccurate master data such as customer and product records? This is the data that your business counts on to operate business processes and make decisions. But this data is often incomplete or in conflict because it resides in multiple IT systems. Master Data Management (MDM)'s programs are the solution to this problem, but these programs can fail without the investment and involvement of business managers.
Listen to Rob Karel, Forrester analyst, and Jignesh Shah from Software AG to learn about a new, process-driven approach to MDM and why it is a win-win for both business and IT managers.

Data Governance Roles as the Backbone of Your ProgramDATAVERSITY
The method you follow to form your Data Governance roles and responsibilities will impact the success of your program. There are industry-standard roles that require adjustment to fit the culture of your organization when getting started, gaining acceptance, and demonstrating sustained value. Roles are the backbone of a productive Data Governance program.
Bob Seiner will share his updated operating model of roles and responsibilities in this topical RWDG webinar. The model Bob uses is meant to overlay your present organizational structure rather than requiring you to try and plug your organization into someone else’s model. This webinar will provide everything you need to know about Data Governance roles.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
• An operating model of Data Governance roles and responsibilities
• How to customize the model to mimic your existing structure
• The meaning behind the oft-used “roles pyramid”
• Detailed responsibilities at each level of the organization
• Using the model to influence Data Governance acceptance
Driving Data Intelligence in the Supply Chain Through the Data Catalog at TJXDATAVERSITY
Roles and responsibilities are a critical component of every Data Governance program. Building a set of roles that are practical and that will not interfere with people’s “day jobs” is an important consideration that will influence how well your program is adopted. This tutorial focuses on sharing a proven model guaranteed to represent your organization.
Join Bob Seiner for this lively webinar where he will dissect a complete Operating Model of Roles and Responsibilities that encompasses all levels of the organization. Seiner will detail the roles and describe the most effective way to associate people with the roles. You will walk out of this webinar with a model to apply to your organization.
In this session Bob will share:
- The five levels of Data Governance roles
- A proven Operating Model of Roles and Responsibilities

Automating Data Quality Processes at ReckittDatabricks
Reckitt is a fast-moving consumer goods company with a portfolio of famous brands and over 30k employees worldwide. With that scale small projects can quickly grow into big datasets, and processing and cleaning all that data can become a challenge. To solve that challenge we have created a metadata driven ETL framework for orchestrating data transformations through parametrised SQL scripts. It allows us to create various paths for our data as well as easily version control them. The approach of standardising incoming datasets and creating reusable SQL processes has proven to be a winning formula. It has helped simplify complicated landing/stage/merge processes and allowed them to be self-documenting.
But this is only half the battle, we also want to create data products. Documented, quality assured data sets that are intuitive to use. As we move to a CI/CD approach, increasing the frequency of deployments, the demand of keeping documentation and data quality assessments up to date becomes increasingly challenging. To solve this problem, we have expanded our ETL framework to include SQL processes that automate data quality activities. Using the Hive metastore as a starting point, we have leveraged this framework to automate the maintenance of a data dictionary and reduce documenting, model refinement, testing data quality and filtering out bad data to a box filling exercise. In this talk we discuss our approach to maintaining high quality data products and share examples of how we automate data quality processes.
Data-Ed Webinar: Data Governance StrategiesDATAVERSITY
The data governance function exercises authority and control over the management of your mission critical assets and guides how all other data management functions are performed. When selling data governance to organizational management, it is useful to concentrate on the specifics that motivate the initiative. This means developing a specific vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your organizational business concepts. This webinar provides you with an understanding of what data governance functions are required and how they fit with other data management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary pre-requisite to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and implement effective data governance and stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy.
Takeaways:
Understanding why data governance can be tricky for most organizations
Steps for improving data governance within your organization
Guiding principles & lessons learned
Understanding foundational data governance concepts based on the DAMA DMBOK
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.
Recommended for CDOs and all Data & Analytics Managers
The past 2 years have had a huge impact on organizations journeys to become data driven. Existing data architectures were disrupted; rigid structures and processes were questioned, and many data strategies were re-written.
On the one hand, the global pandemic emphasized the need for organizations to raise the bar, implement strategies, improve data literacy and culture, increase investments in data and analytics, and explore AI opportunities.
On the other, it also presented new challenges such as: the war for data talent and the wide literacy gap. Inadequate structures as well as outdated processes were exposed. Major changes in the data landscape (Data Fabric, Data Mesh, Transition to Data Clouds) will further disrupt existing data architectures and enhance the need for a new adaptive architecture and organization.
To take a “ready, aim, fire” tactic to implement Data Governance, many organizations assess themselves against industry best practices. The process is not difficult or time-consuming and can directly assure that your activities target your specific needs. Best practices are always a strong place to start.
Join Bob Seiner for this popular RWDG topic, where he will provide the information you need to set your program in the best possible direction. Bob will walk you through the steps of conducting an assessment and share with you a set of typical results from taking this action. You may be surprised at how easy it is to organize the assessment and may hear results that stimulate the actions that you need to take.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- The value of performing a Data Governance best practice assessment
- 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)
Metadata Mastery: A Big Step for BI ModernizationEric Kavanagh
Modernizing data management is on everyone’s mind today. Making the shift from data management practices of the BI era to modern data management is essential but it is also challenging. Whether you’re updating the back end by migrating your data warehouses to the cloud or advancing the front end with a shift from legacy BI tools to self-service analysis and visualization, it is critical to know the data that you have and to understand data lineage. Data inventory, data glossary, and data lineage are all metadata dependent. But legacy BI metadata is typically proprietary, non-integrated, and collected inconsistently by a variety of disparate tools. The metadata muddle is a serious inhibitor to modernization efforts. Metadata consolidation and centralization are the keys to overcoming this barrier. What if all this were automated?
Join us to learn:
- How a smart and innovative new technology resolves metadata disparity
- How metadata management automation accelerates modernization efforts
- How metadata management automation reduces errors and improves quality of results from data management modernization projects
- How metadata management automation and data cataloging work together to help you move rapidly to the next generation of BI and analytics
The Future of Data Warehousing and Data IntegrationEric Kavanagh
The rise of big data, data lakes and the cloud, coupled with increasingly stringent enterprise requirements, are reinventing the role of data warehousing in modern analytics ecosystems. The emerging generation of data warehouses is more flexible, agile and cloud-based than their predecessors, with a strong need for automation and real-time data integration.

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.
Driven by data - Why we need a Modern Enterprise Data Analytics PlatformArne Roßmann
In order to turn data into opportunities, you need to build a modern data analytics platform. But because literally everything changes so fast, built-in flexibility is paramount.
This presentation covers:
- how to leverage all your data to generate insights
- the capabilities needed to build a flexible platform
- how to incorporate sustainability requirement
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.
In the digital world, semi-structured data is as important as transactional, structured data. Both need to be analyzed to create a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, neither the data lake nor the data warehouse are adequate to handle the analysis of both data types.
These slides—based on the webinar from EMA Research and Vertica—delve into the push toward the innovative unified analytics warehouse (UAW), a merging of the data lake and data warehouse.

A Journey to a Serverless Business Intelligence, Machine Learning and Big Dat...DataWorks Summit
In this talk we will describe the journey we made with one of our customers, Volotea, to deploy a serverless Business Intelligence (BI), Machine Learning (ML) and Big Data (BD) platform on the Cloud. The new platform leverages Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Cloud services, and it is the result of the reengineering and extension of an existing platform based on Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) services and bare-metal systems. Managing and maintaining BI, ML and BD platforms based on bare-metal or IaaS deployments is not a straightforward task, and as size and complexity grow, we often find ourselves spending more and more time in tasks that are rather administrative, more than of a development or analytics nature. That is exactly what Volotea realized, and together we envisioned and executed a plan to lift and reengineer their platform into a new solution that leverages Microsoft Azure PaaS services. We have delivered a solution that manages to greatly reduce the administrative burden as well as the technical complexity when implementing new use cases. The new platform is based on the Microsoft Azure stack and it includes Azure Data Lake, Azure Data Lake Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Azure Machine Learning and Azure SQL Database. Join us in this talk where we will share our lessons learned and we will discuss how to plan and execute such an endeavor.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
