About the Webinar

Data can provide tremendous value to an organization in today’s information-driven economy. New customer insights, better efficiency, and new product innovation are just some of the ways organizations are obtaining value through data. But in order to achieve this value, a strong data architecture is required to ensure that the data infrastructure runs smoothly, while at the same time aligning with business needs and corporate culture. A Data Strategy can assist in building a data architecture foundation through:

  • Identifying business requirements, rules & definitions via a business-centric data model
  • Creating a data inventory & integrating disparate data sources
  • Building a technical data architecture through data models & related artifacts
  • Coordinating the people, processes and culture necessary for success
  • Identifying tools & technology needed for creating & maintaining high quality data
