Information is the modern competitive battleground. Don’t miss this unprecedented opportunity to learn Master Data Management (MDM), Data Quality (DQ), Data Governance (DG) and the new technologies for managing the important corporate asset of information.
The world of information management has changed significantly and now there are several new technologies poised to change it even more. Heterogeneity is alive and well. Increasing volumes and the desire for spontaneous response to business events are necessitating a variety of specialised platforms for handling specific workloads while maintaining a sense of consistency across the enterprise architecture. At the core of such a strategy is master data management.
This course provides a practical guide to implementing successful MDM from experience. It covers all the aspects of MDM, from justification to architecture to data management and project management using agile principles. This class gives the common process, organisational and architectural focus for building strategies and implementing master data management programs such as those that have consistently, for many years, improved the productivity and performance for clients including global giants.
Having data quality as a focus is a business philosophy that aligns strategy, business culture, company information, and technology in order to manage data to the benefit of the enterprise. In this course, you will receive strategic, expert guidance for building data quality.
Business participation comes in the form of data governance. Pragmatic, explicit advice will be given to forge effective governance that transcends the pitfalls and helps organisations position information as a competitive asset.
Due to increasing data volume and data’s high utility, there has been an explosion of capabilities in the past few years. While stalwarts of our information, like the relational row-based enterprise data warehouse (EDW), are highly popular, it is widely acknowledged that no single solution will satisfy all enterprise data management needs.
This course will explore the major categories of information data stores available in the market and help you make the best choices based on the workloads. This includes columnar databases, data stream processing, data virtualisation and the game changer that is the BigData/NoSQL/Hadoop-family solutions. This new and fast-growing category of data management technologies uses non-relational database architectures that is often better suited to handle the requirements of high-performance, web-scalable systems and big data analysis.
At this unique course, you will gain strategic, expert guidance for initiating and growing implementations and agile programs for information management.
This is the vendor-neutral course with the most ready-to-use content for the information management professional that every organisation needs, regardless of the toolset selected.
