Upcoming webinar on Master Data Management

On November 17th at 2:00 ET, I will be giving a webinar on the B-EYE-Network with Mark Smith of Ventana Research titled "Justifying and Implementing Master Data Management for the Enterprise." You can sign up for it at this link.

Here is the abstract:
More complex and demanding business environments are forcing more heterogeneous systems environments. Data integration is required to synchronize master data to get a single, consistent view of an enterprise’s core business entities like customers, products, suppliers and employees. Effective master data for any subject area requires input from multiple applications and business units; and enterprise master data needs a formal management system. Business approval, business process change and capture of master data at optimal, early points in the data lifecycle are essential to achieving true enterprise master data.

-An introduction to Master Data Management, which enables data synchronization across the heterogeneous system environment independent of operational and analytic domain

-How MDM directly impacts the business through facilitating more accurate and timely business decision-making and improving application delivery ability, all at a lower cost

-How to organize the enterprise, both business and technical roles, for the determination and implementation of master data rules

-How to take the conformed dimension concept to earlier points in the data lifecycle through MDM Architecture choices
