Most organizations are undergoing some form of digital transformation, to drive customer intimacy, optimize processes and reduce costs. The Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) initiated a transformation program in 2019 and anchored it around a modern data platform in the cloud. This journey required designing and architecting the new platform, building it out from the ground up, migrating data from the legacy systems and managing and governing this platform. To ensure that robust controls, data privacy, data security and data quality were embedded in it a community of practice comprised of data stewards and data engineering team members was established to ensure that the platform would be governed and could be sustained over the long term. This webinar will explain ARC’s transformation journey and what it took to build, govern and sustain this platform.
