TDAN.com New Issue Announcement - January 2008

01/07/08 - The Data Administration Newsletter, LLC – http://www.TDAN.com

Dear TDAN.com Readers,

The 43rd issue of The Data Administration Newsletter (TDAN.com) is now available on-line at http://www.TDAN.com. The new content in this issue covers important information about Data Governance and Information Governance, Enterprise Architecture, Data Quality Projects and more. Please let me know your thoughts on these articles and let me know if you are interested in publishing an article in a future issue. Monthly updates (rather than quarterly updates) mean MORE CONTENT MORE OFTEN and more opportunity for you to get your articles published on one of the most popular publications for Data Management Professionals.

The January issue contains articles from Bob Seiner (me! the next chapter of the Data Governance series), Larry English, Noreen Kendle, Scott Benson, Tom Rathburn, and Diby Malakar. This issue also contains new feature columns from Craig Mullins, Steve Hoberman, and Bob Dominko as well as a new special feature from Tim Feetham. The rest of the publication has been updated including a book review of Mike Gorman’s book, an overhauled list of data-oriented conferences through 2008, updates to the book list of several reader-suggested books published in ’08’, ‘07’ and ‘06’, business resource list, companies and products list and more. The quote of the week and the 5 data oriented news stories continue to be updated weekly.

I am always interested in your feedback regarding the new issue and the evolving look of TDAN.com. Please feel free to contact me with suggestions and comments. A form has been set up through the Contact tab to submit these comments. Thanks.
