Having an accurate, complete and authoritative source of Master Data is essential to meet business initiatives like customer centricity, process improvement and regulatory compliance. Despite this, many organisations struggle to get their Master Data Management programmes started. This is often due to the perceived complexity, investment and the degree of organisational alignment required to undertake MDM.
The reality is that if approached in the right way MDM can be successfully delivered in a timely and non-intrusive fashion, providing demonstrable value back to the organisation. This half day Informatica seminar will explain how to achieve this, and will cover:
- What is MDM and where does it offer most value?
- How to build upon your existing data management foundation to deliver tactical MDM solutions in a cost, time and risk effective manner.
- How to build a business case for MDM and get your initiative started.
- How to accelerate MDM initiatives using Informatica MDM product and professional services assets.
- How to ensure success – best practices in MDM delivery and customer case studies.
At the end of the seminar you will have a clear understanding of how to identify, justify and initiate MDM initiatives aimed at specific use cases within your organisation. By breaking your strategic MDM need into smaller, easier to deliver, increments you can embark upon your MDM journey in a controlled manner and begin exploiting this powerful technology to deliver value to your key business programmes.

Informatica Next Generation Data Integration Forum – London, 14 May 2013
Data integration has traditionally meant compromise with speed coming at the expense of quality, and if quality and rapid delivery were ensured – then costs would spiral out of control. This is highlighted by Gartner’s estimate that for some organisations, data integration costs will double without adding a focus on data quality. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Next generation data integration expands the scope of data integration to meet emerging IT and business demands – eliminating traditional trade-offs and enabling data management teams to execute better, cheaper, and faster projects. Focusing on people, processes, and technologies – next generation data integration takes advantage of best practices and tools that have steadily matured with greater capabilities and reach, to drive an evolution toward the ideal of an innovative, agile, data-driven enterprise.
During this Informatica forum we will examine the IT and business pressures that are making next generation data integration a strategic imperative, outline the key characteristics of a next generation data integration environment, and provide practical guidance for making the transition.
What you will learn during this half day event:
- Why dramatic changes in data volume, variety, and velocity make the traditional approach to data integration inadequate.
- How a next generation approach transforms data integration from a project to a key business process.
- The quantifiable business impact of adopting next generation integration.
- Why next generation data integration should be a process where IT is an enabler – not a leader.
- Why it is so important that the “data quality team” expands beyond IT to include more people who actually use the data day-to-day.
- The importance of automation in improving the efficiency of the development life-cycle and the role of a metadata repository/business glossary.
