OVERVIEW

Many businesses today are operating in a distributed computing environment with data and processes running across on-premises systems, multiple clouds, on SaaS applications and the edge. It this environment, with so much going on, data is much harder to find and govern. Also, the number of data sources continues to grow and master data, the most widely used data in any business, is becoming harder to find, manage and keep synchronised across so many systems in a hybrid computing environment. This two-day in-depth class looks at this problem and shows how to successfully implement a data governance program to govern data across a distributed data landscape. This includes governing data access security, data privacy, data sharing, data retention and data quality with data quality encompassing master data management to create a 360-degree view of customers, products, suppliers, and other core entities.  It is intended for chief data officers, heads of data governance, enterprise architects, data architects, MDM professionals, business professionals, database administrators, data engineers, and compliance managers responsible for data governance.

The class takes a detailed look at the business problems caused by poorly governed data and how it can seriously impact business operations, cause unplanned operational costs, and destroy confidence in accuracy of business intelligence, machine learning model predictions and recommendations.  It also defines the requirements that need to be met for a company to confidently define, manage, and govern data as well as create and share consistent reference and master data across operational applications and analytical systems both on-premises and in one or more clouds.

Having understood the requirements, you will learn what should be in a governance programme. This includes a data governance framework that includes data governance roles and responsibilities, processes, policies, technologies, and a core set of data governance capabilities to govern data across a distributed data landscape. It also includes a master data management strategy and what you need to do to bring your master data under control. We will look at how to make use of a business glossary, a data catalog with automated data discovery, data quality profiling, sensitive data classification, enterprise-wide and domain-oriented data governance policy definition by data owners around the business and policy enforcement across a distributed data landscape.  We look at data cleaning and data integration, to provision master data and reference data products and how Customer Master Data can be combined with data warehouse and big data to create a Customer Data Platform (CDP) for a customer intelligent omni-channel front-office.

During the seminar we take an in-depth look at the technologies and best practice methodologies and processes for governing data across on-premises systems, SaaS applications, multiple clouds, and the edge.

AUDIENCE

This seminar is intended for business and IT professionals responsible for enterprise data governance including data access security, data privacy, data sharing, data usage, data retention, data quality (includes master data management) of both structured data and content. It assumes a basic understanding of data governance, data management, metadata, data warehousing, data cleansing, data integration, etc.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Attendees will learn how to set up an enterprise data governance program to systematically govern data and content across their distributed data landscape from a single place. Using a data governance framework and key technologies like data catalogs, data classifiers, data fabric and MDM they will learn what is needed to discover, classify and govern data and content. This includes data access security, data privacy, data loss prevention, data sharing, data retention, and data quality.
