Making Data an enterprise asset, " Lets take data beyond the Lake and the Cloud"
DAMA Day 2021 – May 20, 2021
Virtual Zoom event sponsored by DAMA NYC
When looking at the evolution of data management, no matter how hard we try, we must agree we have fallen short from meeting our goal of making data an enterprise asset. Even with our data warehouses, business glossaries, data governance and data quality programs, we have just begun to scratch the surface. These initiative are only the tools necessary to begin to look for the information needed to solve today's business problems. In most cases, these problems haven’t even been identified yet. We must do much more preparation to begin to turn data into "Information Nuggets of Gold". Data must be made available to the data scientist so we can employ “Self Service” to discover how data can be turned into information. To facilitate this, the following building blocks must be in-place; data literacy, data governance oversite, data science, data analytics and finally a service delivery programs. When these things are in place, then and only then can we begin to potentially look at data as an enterprise asset.
This DAMA Day theme will facilitate the discussion necessary to identify today's data challenges and then to point the compass in the right direction "Due North". Only then can we hope to begin to make data an enterprise assets that can be leveraged across the data landscape. This event will explore different alternatives that might be used so that we can realize our goals.
Come join us and learn why data is falling short as an enterprise asset and what can be accomplished to make it get beyong the data lake and the Cloud Technology so it can become valuable information.
