About This Webinar
Aired Live on: November 1, 2018 @ 11:30 am ET
Achieving key business goals such operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and analytical insights require organizations to know the lineage of its data. These goals are jeopardized when answering a question about data requires days and even weeks of manual effort. Unfortunately this happens too often because the necessary knowledge is distributed among systems and stakeholders and often is not even captured digitally in a usable form. Questions that organizations find challenging to answer quickly and reliably include: where does a specific piece of data come from, where is it used, how is it calculated, where does it reside, what data is needed by a specific application or a business process, and more …
Who Should Attend: Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, Data Architects, Chief Data Officers and Chief Information Officers, Data Governance Project and Program Managers, Data Stewards, Data Quality Managers, IT Implementers, Business Intelligence Program Managers and Data Warehousing Program Managers.
Join us to learn more about business use cases that rely on understanding the lineage of data and how it can be:
- Captured incrementally using a combination of automated and user curated approaches
- Presented at different levels – from business level dependencies between applications to very granular transformation mappings of data elements
- Explored from multiple perspectives such as business terms, business activities, applications and infrastructure as well as data elements and data sources
- Drilled down and/or rolled up depending on the needs of users
