DataEd Online: Building the Case for the Top Data JobDATAVERSITY
This document discusses the need for a chief data officer role to oversee organizational data management. It notes that current IT management is not well-suited to leverage data as a strategic asset. Only 1% of organizations achieve data management success due to a lack of professional data management. The requirements dictate a full-time role external to IT to manage data from a function preceding software development. Creating this role could improve performance more than other initiatives. The presentation will provide context on data management and examine why CIOs cannot devote sufficient time or expertise to data, and will explore the ideal relationship between data and IT.

The document discusses the challenges of managing multiple social media streams and information overload. It suggests the possibility of a "universal social inbox" to aggregate different social media notifications but notes this could exacerbate the problem of information overload that already exists with email inboxes. The document also raises concerns about potential "stream spam" if a unified inbox were created.
The Future of Social in the Enterprise - by Alan Lepofsky and Dion HinchcliffeAlan Lepofsky
This presentation talks about the past, present and future of social software within the enterprise. DIon Hinchcliffe and I presented this at Salesforce Dreamforce 2012.
This document summarizes the results of a survey on database manageability conducted by Unisphere Research and sponsored by Oracle. Some key findings:
- Over a third of companies report database growth rates over 20% per year, contributing to management challenges.
- Identifying performance issues is difficult due to complex systems, and can lead to unplanned downtime.
- Close to 20% admit doing nothing to address performance problems or don't know how they are addressed.
- Adopting more comprehensive database management practices through automation helps avoid downtime from performance issues. The faster the data growth, the more proactive solutions are needed for manageability.
Many data professionals struggle with the ability to demonstrate tangible returns on data management investments. In a webinar that is designed to appeal to both business and IT attendees, your presenter Dr. Peter Aiken will describe multiple types of value produced through data-centric development and management practices. One of our examples, the healthcare space, offers the unique opportunity to demonstrate additional types of return on investment or value outcomes, namely returns in the form of lives saved through increased rates of Bone Marrow Donor matches. In addition to metrics around increasing revenues or decreasing costs, i.e. investments that directly impact an organization’s financial position, these additional statistics of lives saved can be used to justify data management and quality initiatives.

Data Systems Integration & Business Value Pt. 2: CloudData Blueprint
The document discusses cloud-based integration and its prerequisites. It states that for organizations to benefit from cloud integration, data must be (1) of higher quality, (2) lower volume, and (3) more shareable than data residing outside the cloud. Investments in data engineering are needed to cleanse, reduce the size of, and increase the shareability of datasets so that organizations can realize increased capacity, flexibility, and cost savings from cloud-based computing. The webinar will show how to identify opportunities for cloud integration and properly oversee efforts to capitalize on those opportunities.
Data-Ed: Unlock Business Value through Data GovernanceData Blueprint
If your organization understands your function, they see you as an investment. If your organization does not understand what you do, they are likely to perceive you as a cost. The goal of this webinar is to provide you with concrete ideas for how to reinforce the first mindset at your organization. Success stories must be used to ensure continued organizational support. When selling data governance to organizational management, it is useful to concentrate on the specifics that motivate the initiative. This means developing a specific vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your organizational business concepts. For example: using specific common terms (and narratives) when referencing organizational mishaps, e.g. The Chocolate Story.
Learning Objectives:
Understanding contextually why data governance can be tricky for most organizations
Demonstrate a variety of “storytelling” techniques
How to use “worst practices” to your advantage
Understanding foundational data governance concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK)
Taking away several novel but tangible examples of generating business value through data governance
Data-Ed: Unlock Business Value through Data Quality Engineering Data Blueprint
Organizations must realize what it means to utilize data quality management in support of business strategy. This webinar focuses on obtaining business value from data quality initiatives. I will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor data quality. Showing how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This in turn allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.

Data-Ed: Building the Case for the Top Data JobData Blueprint
Reflections on the past 25 years of organizational IT accomplishments, combined with performance measurement data, indicate that current IT management has been called upon to do a job that it cannot do well. Data are assets that deserve to be managed as professionally and aggressively as other company assets. Objective measurements show that approximately 1% of all organizations achieve data management success. In the face of the ongoing “data explosion,” this leaves most organizations wholly unprepared to leverage their sole, non-degrading, strategic asset. The requirements and organizational performance dictate a full time position that does not report to IT and manages the data function from a function that is external to and precedes the SDLC. While transformation may require some organizational discomfort, this move will achieve improved organizational IT performance faster and cheaper than ERPs or any other silver bullet.
Learning Objectives:
Why there typically isn’t and ultimately must be an authority (a chief) on organizational informational asset management
Why CIOS have not been able to devote the required time and attention
The seriousness of the skill gap – requisite expertise is rare
Understanding the ideal relationship between Data and IT.

Data Systems Integration & Business Value Pt. 2: CloudData Blueprint
The document discusses cloud-based integration and its prerequisites. It states that for organizations to benefit from cloud integration, data must be (1) of higher quality, (2) lower volume, and (3) more shareable than data residing outside the cloud. Investments in data engineering are needed to cleanse, reduce the size of, and increase the shareability of datasets so that organizations can realize increased capacity, flexibility, and cost savings from cloud-based computing. The webinar will show how to identify opportunities for cloud integration and properly oversee efforts to capitalize on those opportunities.
Data-Ed: Unlock Business Value through Data GovernanceData Blueprint
If your organization understands your function, they see you as an investment. If your organization does not understand what you do, they are likely to perceive you as a cost. The goal of this webinar is to provide you with concrete ideas for how to reinforce the first mindset at your organization. Success stories must be used to ensure continued organizational support. When selling data governance to organizational management, it is useful to concentrate on the specifics that motivate the initiative. This means developing a specific vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your organizational business concepts. For example: using specific common terms (and narratives) when referencing organizational mishaps, e.g. The Chocolate Story.
Learning Objectives:
Understanding contextually why data governance can be tricky for most organizations
Demonstrate a variety of “storytelling” techniques
How to use “worst practices” to your advantage
Understanding foundational data governance concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK)
Taking away several novel but tangible examples of generating business value through data governance
Data-Ed: Unlock Business Value through Data Quality Engineering Data Blueprint
Organizations must realize what it means to utilize data quality management in support of business strategy. This webinar focuses on obtaining business value from data quality initiatives. I will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor data quality. Showing how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This in turn allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.

Data-Ed: Building the Case for the Top Data JobData Blueprint
Reflections on the past 25 years of organizational IT accomplishments, combined with performance measurement data, indicate that current IT management has been called upon to do a job that it cannot do well. Data are assets that deserve to be managed as professionally and aggressively as other company assets. Objective measurements show that approximately 1% of all organizations achieve data management success. In the face of the ongoing “data explosion,” this leaves most organizations wholly unprepared to leverage their sole, non-degrading, strategic asset. The requirements and organizational performance dictate a full time position that does not report to IT and manages the data function from a function that is external to and precedes the SDLC. While transformation may require some organizational discomfort, this move will achieve improved organizational IT performance faster and cheaper than ERPs or any other silver bullet.
Learning Objectives:
Why there typically isn’t and ultimately must be an authority (a chief) on organizational informational asset management
Why CIOS have not been able to devote the required time and attention
The seriousness of the skill gap – requisite expertise is rare
Understanding the ideal relationship between Data and IT.

Abstract:
When thinking about data management, data governance is not one of those topics that immediately come to mind. Although neglected and often poorly performed, it is a vital function of data management and it is absurd to even consider managing data without some form of formal guidance. Data governance is central to “defining, coordinating, resourcing, implementing, and monitoring organizational data program strategies, policies, and plans as a coherent set of activities.” This presentation provides you with a clear and concise understanding of what data governance functions are required and how they fit with other data management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary pre-requisite to eliminate the ambiguity and confusion that often surround initial discussions and implement effective data governance and stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy.

Data-Ed: Unlocking business value through data modeling and data architecture...Data Blueprint
When asked why they are architecting data, many in the practice answer: "Because that is what must be done." However, a better approach to this question is to speak in terms that are understood in the executive suite – business results! All of our organizations are faced with various organizational challenges that require analysis. Building new systems is just one example. This webinar describes the use of data architecting as a basic analysis method (one of many that good analysts should keep in their “toolbox"). I will demonstrate various uses of data architecting to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems. As opposed to showing how to architect data, I will show how to use data architecting to solve business problems. The goal is for you to be able to envision a number of uses for data architectures that will raise the perceived utility of this analysis method in the eyes of the business.
Learning Objectives:
Understanding how to contribute to organizational challenges beyond traditional data architecting
Realizing the fundamental difference between "definition" and "purpose"
Guiding analyses through data analysis

DataEd Slides: Data Management Best PracticesDATAVERSITY
It is clear that Data Management best practices exist and so does a useful process for improving existing Data Management practices. The question arises: Since we understand the goal, how does one design a process for Data Management goal achievement? This approach combines the DM BoK and the CMMI/DMM, permitting organizations with the opportunity to benefit from the best of both. The approach permits organizations to understand current Data Management practices, strengths to leverage, and remediation opportunities. In a nutshell, it describes what must be done at the programmatic level to achieve better data use.
Necessary Prerequisites to Data SuccessDATAVERSITY
Far more organizations attempt to do more with data than succeed. Understanding common prerequisites to unrestricted data practices will help you determine the extent of these challenges in your organization and increase your chances of success. Deficiencies in organizational readiness and core competence represent clearly visible problems faced by data managers, but beyond that, there are several cultural and structural barriers common to virtually all organizations that must be eliminated in order to facilitate effective management of data. This webinar will discuss these barriers — aka the “Seven Deadly Data Sins” — and in the process will also
- Elaborate upon the three critical factors that lead to strategy failure
- Demonstrate a two-stage Data Strategy implementation process
- Explore the sources and rationales behind the “Seven Deadly Data Sins” and recommend solutions

Data-Ed Webinar: Data Modeling FundamentalsDATAVERSITY
Every organization produces and consumes data. Because data is so important to day to day operations, data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, NoSQL, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data effort. It is a vital activity that supports the solutions driving your business.
This webinar will address fundamental data modeling methodologies, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Learning Objectives:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?
Integrating data models to business models and the value this creates
Application development (Data first, code first, object first)
DataEd Webinar: Reference & Master Data Management - Unlocking Business ValueDATAVERSITY
Data tends to pile up and can be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance processes. Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for many organizational transactions—its master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (one-third succeeding on-time, within budget, and achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach typically involving Data Governance and Data Quality activities.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand foundational reference and MDM concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK)
- Understand why these are an important component of your Data Architecture
- Gain awareness of Reference and MDM Frameworks and building blocks
- Know what MDM guiding principles consist of and best practices
- Know how to utilize reference and MDM in support of business strategy
DataEd Online: Unlock Business Value through Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY

The assessment method reveals priorities, business needs, and a clear, rapid path for process improvements. This webinar will describe the DMM, its evolution, and illustrate its use as a roadmap guiding organizational data management improvements.
Data-Ed: A Framework for no sql and HadoopData Blueprint
Big Data and NoSQL continue to make headlines everywhere. However, most of what has been written about these topics is focused on the hardware, services, and scale out. But what about a Big Data and NoSQL Strategy, one that supports your business strategy? Virtually every major organization thinking about these data platforms is faced with the challenge of figuring out the appropriate approach and the requirements. This presentation will provide guidance on how to think about and establish realistic Big Data management plans and expectations. We will introduce a framework for evaluating the various choices when it comes to implementing and succeeding with Big Data/NoSQL and show how to demonstrate a sample use case.
Many data professionals struggle with the ability to demonstrate tangible returns on data management investments. In a webinar that is designed to appeal to both business and IT attendees, your presenter will describe multiple types of value produced through data-centric development and management practices. One of our examples, the healthcare space, offers the unique opportunity to demonstrate additional types of return on investment or value outcomes, namely returns in the form of lives saved through increased rates of Bone Marrow Donor matches. In addition to metrics around increasing revenues or decreasing costs, i.e. investments that directly impact an organization’s financial position, these additional statistics of lives saved can be used to justify data management and quality initiatives.
The data governance function exercises authority and control over the management of your mission critical assets and guides how all other data management functions are performed. When selling data governance to organizational management, it is useful to concentrate on the specifics that motivate the initiative. This means developing a specific vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your organizational business concepts. This webinar provides you with an understanding of what data governance functions are required and how they fit with other data management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary pre-requisite to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and implement effective data governance and stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy.

Data architecture is foundational to an information-based operational environment. It is your data architecture that organizes your data assets so they can be leveraged in your business strategy to create real business value. Even though this is important, not all data architectures are used effectively. This webinar describes the use of data architecture as a basic analysis method. Various uses of data architecture to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems will be demonstrated. As opposed to showing how to architect data, your presenter Dr. Peter Aiken will show how to use data architecting to solve business problems.

This document outlines a presentation on developing a data-centric strategy and roadmap. It discusses the importance of aligning data management goals to business needs through frameworks like Porter's competitive strategies and operating models. Metrics and success criteria must be defined by collaborating with business partners to measure improvements in specific opportunities. An example shows how a chemical company defined objects of measurement and metrics to quantify increased efficiency from a data integration solution. Developing a holistic solution requires understanding a business's competitive advantage, goals and needs.
Integrating data across systems has been a perpetual challenge. Unfortunately, the current technology-focused solutions have not helped IT to improve its dismal project success statistics. Data warehouses, BI implementations, and general analytical efforts achieve the same levels of success as other IT projects – approximately 1/3rd are considered successes when measured against price, schedule, or functionality objectives. The first step is determining the appropriate analysis approach to the data system integration challenge. The second step is understanding the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. Turns out that proper analysis at this stage makes actual technology selection far more accurate. Only when these are accomplished can proper matching between problem and capabilities be achieved as the third step and true business value be delivered. This webinar will illustrate that good systems development more often depends on at least three data management disciplines in order to provide a solid foundation.

Good systems development often depends on multiple data management disciplines that provide a solid foundation. One of these is metadata. While much of the discussion around metadata focuses on understanding metadata itself along with its associated technologies, this perspective often represents a typical tool-and-technology focus, which has not achieved significant results to date. A more relevant question when considering pockets of metadata is whether to include them in the scope of organizational metadata practices. By understanding what it means to include items in the scope of your metadata practices, you can begin to build systems that allow you to practice sophisticated ways to advance their data management and supported business initiatives. After a bit of practice in this manner you can position your organization to better exploit any and all metadata technologies in support of business strategy.

Tools alone are not the answer: Career roles and growth tracks for data professionals. In today’s (Big) data-driven information economy, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives. But tools alone are not the answer. Organizations that want to rise above their competition can only do so with the help of skilled professionals who know how to manage, mine, and draw actionable insights from the multitudes of (Big) data sources. Numerous new roles and job titles have emerged to address the high demand for specialized data professionals. This webinar brings together three individuals well qualified to contribute to this important industry-wide discussion of data jobs. We will take a closer look at these newer data management roles and present recommendations on how to enhance career paths.

Data is the lifeblood of just about every organization and functional area today. As businesses struggle to come to grips with the data flood, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance business unit performance. Unfortunately however, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approaches. Overall, poor organizational data management capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This webinar covers three lessons (illustrated by examples), which will help you to establish realistic OM plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers.

We are in the middle of a data flood and we need to figure out how to tame it without drowning. Most of what has been written about Big Data is focused on selling hardware and services. But what about a Big Data Strategy that guides hardware and software decisions? While virtually every major organization is faced with the challenge of figuring out the approach for and the requirements of this new development, jumping into the fray hastily and unprepared will only reproduce the same dismal IT project results as previously experienced. Join Dr. Peter Aiken as he will debunk a number of misconceptions about Big Data as your un-typical IT project. He will provide guidance on how to establish realistic Big Data management plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers without getting lost in the hype.

Failure to successfully monetize data management investments sets up an unfortunate loop of fixing symptoms without addressing the underlying problems. As organizations begin to understand poor data management practices as the root causes of many of their business problems, they become more willing to make the required investments in our profession. This presentation uses specific examples to illustrate the costs of poor data management and how it impacts business objectives. Join us and learn how you can better align your data management projects with business objectives to justify funding and gain management approval.

Data Systems Integration & Business Value PT. 3: Warehousing Data Blueprint
Certain systems are more data focused than others. Usually their primary focus is on accomplishing integration of disparate data. In these cases, failure is most often attributable to the adoption of a single pillar (silver bullet). The three webinars in the Data Systems Integration and Business Value series are designed to illustrate that good systems development more often depends on at least three DM disciplines (pie wedges) in order to provide a solid foundation.
Integrating data across systems has been a perpetual challenge. Unfortunately, the current technology-focused solutions have not helped IT to improve its dismal project success statistics. Data warehouses, BI implementations, and general analytical efforts achieve the same levels of success as other IT projects – approximately 1/3rd are considered successes when measured against price, schedule, or functionality objectives. The first step is determining the appropriate analysis approach to the data system integration challenge. The second step is understanding the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. Turns out that proper analysis at this stage makes actual technology selection far more accurate. Only when these are accomplished can proper matching between problem and capabilities be achieved as the third step and true business value be delivered.

Much of the discussion of metadata focuses on understanding it and the associated technologies. While these are important, they represent a typical tool/technology focus and this has not achieved significant results to date. A more relevant question when considering pockets of metadata is: Whether to include them in the scope organizational metadata practices. By understanding what it means to include items in the scope of your metadata practices, you can begin to build systems that allow you to practice sophisticated ways to advance their data management and supported business initiatives. After a bit of practice in this manner you can position your organization to better exploit any and all metadata technologies.

Yes, we face a data deluge and big data seems to be largely about how to deal with it. But 99% of what has been written about big data is focused on selling hardware and services. The truth is that until the concept of big data can be objectively defined, any measurements, claims of success, quantifications, etc. must be viewed skeptically and with suspicion. While both the need for and approaches to these new requirements are faced by virtually every organization, jumping into the fray ill-prepared has (to date) reproduced the same dismal IT project results.
The very real, very rapid, very great increases in data of all forms (charts showing data types and volume increases)
Challenges faced by virtually all data management programs
Means by which big data techniques can compliment existing data management practices
Necessary but insufficient pre-requisites to exploiting big data techniques
Prototyping nature of practicing big data techniques

Corporate Open Source Anti-Patterns: A Decade LaterScyllaDB
A little over a decade ago, I gave a talk on corporate open source anti-patterns, vowing that I would return in ten years to give an update. Much has changed in the last decade: open source is pervasive in infrastructure software, with many companies (like our hosts!) having significant open source components from their inception. But just as open source has changed, the corporate anti-patterns around open source have changed too: where the challenges of the previous decade were all around how to open source existing products (and how to engage with existing communities), the challenges now seem to revolve around how to thrive as a business without betraying the community that made it one in the first place. Open source remains one of humanity's most important collective achievements and one that all companies should seek to engage with at some level; in this talk, we will describe the changes that open source has seen in the last decade, and provide updated guidance for corporations for ways not to do it!
The Strategy Behind ReversingLabs’ Massive Key-Value MigrationScyllaDB
ReversingLabs recently completed the largest migration in their history: migrating more than 300 TB of data, more than 400 services, and data models from their internally-developed key-value database to ScyllaDB seamlessly, and with ZERO downtime. Services using multiple tables — reading, writing, and deleting data, and even using transactions — needed to go through a fast and seamless switch. So how did they pull it off? Martina shares their strategy, including service migration, data modeling changes, the actual data migration, and how they addressed distributed locking.
The document discusses fundamentals of software testing including definitions of testing, why testing is necessary, seven testing principles, and the test process. It describes the test process as consisting of test planning, monitoring and control, analysis, design, implementation, execution, and completion. It also outlines the typical work products created during each phase of the test process.

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
MongoDB vs ScyllaDB: Tractian’s Experience with Real-Time MLScyllaDB

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines
