Overview

Almost every large government agency or Global 2000 company is struggling to properly manage their enterprise’s data and its architecture and management. This difficulty is the direct result of the highly distributed, disjoined and overly expensive IT environments which currently exist throughout our industry. This situation has triggered the reemergence of corporations looking to establish truly proactive Enterprise Data Management organizations.

This course will look to move enterprise data management theory into a practical set of steps (roadmap) to achieving true value from your enterprise data management initiative. Moreover, it will present the specific meta data inputs and outputs that are required for each of the most common enterprise data management focus areas. In addition, data governance and stewardship approaches and structures will be presented for each of these areas.
