How Automation Drives IT/Business Alignment

“Experts believe that there is currently a severe shortage of data professionals, and that the problem is likely to intensify before it gets better.” So begins a recent article in the September issue of 1to1 Magazine, exploring the dearth of people on both the business and IT sides who are truly intimate with their companies’ information, its range and its business impact.

What about you? Does your company have the skills and processes in place to manage the burgeoning information glut? And, what about the enabling toolsets to drive efficiencies and business nimbleness? In this Web seminar, consultant and author Jill Dyché joins StrataVia in a provocative discussion on re-deploying data professionals into a company’s business and why it’s an idea whose time has come. 

Jill will discuss ways that “data people” – DBAs, data modelers and data stewards, among others – can help business programs flourish. The topic areas that Jill will cover include:

• Tactics IT managers can use to re-deploy information professionals
• New IT initiatives to foster cross-training
• Processes for ensuring continued accountability on both sides

StrataVia VP of Marketing Brian Staff will then discuss how key trends in IT automation can liberate IT professionals so they can work more closely with their business counterparts to drive true business alignment.
