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 from a master/transaction perspective. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for organizational transactions – its master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (1/3 succeeding on-time, within budget, achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach involving typically Data Governance and Data Quality activities. Program learning objectives include:
• Understanding foundational reference and MDM concepts
• Why they are an important component of your Data Architecture
• Awareness of Reference and MDM Frameworks and building blocks
• What consists of MDM guiding principles and best practices
• How to utilize Reference and MDM in support of business strategy
Master Data Management – Aligning Data, Process, and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Master Data Management (MDM) provides organizations with an accurate and comprehensive view of their business-critical data such as customers, products, vendors, and more. While mastering these key data areas can be a complex task, the value of doing so can be tremendous – from real-time operational integration to data warehousing and analytic reporting. This webinar will provide practical strategies for gaining value from your MDM initiative, while at the same time assuring a solid architectural and governance foundation that will ensure long-term, enterprise-wide success.

Data-Ed Webinar: Data Quality Strategies - From Data Duckling to Successful SwanDATAVERSITY
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of a high quality. Determining how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing data quality management effectively in support of business strategy, which in turn allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in data management, and proactive prevention of future issues.
Over the course of this webinar, we will:
Help you understand foundational data quality concepts based on the DAMA Guide to Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA DMBOK), as well as guiding principles, best practices, and steps for improving data quality at your organization
Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor data quality
Share case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of data quality success
This document summarizes a webinar on data-centric development. It introduces Malcolm Chisholm, the Chief Innovation Officer at First San Francisco Partners, who has over 25 years of experience in data management. The webinar discusses how traditional development methodologies like Waterfall and Agile are not well-suited for data-centric projects.

In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner and his guest, Anthony J. Algmin, will share examples of how organizations have focused their Data Governance programs on achieving improvements in Data Quality. The delivery of the program must advocate and enhance the delivery of standards, validation, reporting, and data value improvement. You may be surprised by how that delivery can be simplified.
In this webinar, Bob will talk about:
• The relationship between Data Governance and Data Quality
• The activities of defining, producing, and using data
• Stewards influencing improvements in Data Quality
• Standardization and validation of data through Data Governance
• Simplifying Data Governance’s purpose toward Data Quality

DAS Slides: Graph Databases — Practical Use CasesDATAVERSITY
Graph databases are seeing a spike in popularity as their value in leveraging large data sets for key areas such as fraud detection, marketing, and network optimization become increasingly apparent. With graph databases, it’s been said that ‘the data model and the metadata are the database’. What does this mean in a practical application, and how can this technology be optimized for maximum business value?
Trends in Enterprise Advanced AnalyticsDATAVERSITY
This document summarizes trends in enterprise analytics presented by William McKnight. It discusses the increasing importance of data and analytics for businesses. Key trends include greater use of data lakes, multi-cloud strategies, master data management, data virtualization, graph databases, stream processing, self-service analytics, and the rise of roles like Chief Data Officer. Data science and analytics skills will become more operational. Selection of big data platforms will consider factors like SQL support, data size, and workload complexity. Overall, data maturity correlates strongly with business success and organizations must continually advance to remain competitive.
The first step towards understanding what data assets mean for your organization is understanding what those assets mean for each other. Metadata—literally, data about data—is one of many data management disciplines inherent in good systems development, and is perhaps the most mislabeled and misunderstood out of the lot. Understanding metadata and its associated technologies as more than just straightforward technological tools can provide powerful insight, the efficiency of organizational practices, and can also enable you to combine more sophisticated data management techniques in support of larger and more complex business initiatives.
In this webinar, we will:
Illustrate how to leverage metadata in support of your business strategy
Discuss foundational metadata concepts based on the DAMA Guide to Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA DMBOK)
Enumerate guiding principles for and lessons previously learned from metadata and its practical uses
DataEd Slides: Data Strategy Best PracticesDATAVERSITY
Your Data Strategy should be concise, actionable, and understandable by business and IT! Data is not just another resource. It is your most powerful, yet poorly managed and therefore underutilized organizational asset. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Overcoming lack of talent, barriers in organizational thinking, and seven specific data sins are organizational prerequisites to be satisfied before (a measurable) nine out of 10 organizations can achieve the three primary goals of an organizational Data Strategy, which are to:
- Improve the way your people use data
- Improve the way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
- Improve your organization’s data
In this manner, your organizational Data Strategy can be used to best focus your data assets in precise support of your organization's strategic objectives. Once past the prerequisites, organizations must develop a disciplined, repeatable means of improving the data literacy, standards, and supply as business objectives in specific areas that become the foci of subsequent Data Governance efforts. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs, as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (Data Strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why Data Strategy is necessary for effective Data Governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective Data Strategy, as well as common pitfalls that can detract from its implementation, such as the “Seven Deadly Data Sins”
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints, and the importance of balancing business operation and innovation while doing so
Data-Ed Online: Unlock Business Value through Reference & MDMDATAVERSITY

It concludes with an overview of Peter's data governance journey at Safe-Guard Products International so far.
Convincing Stakeholders Data Governance Is EssentialDATAVERSITY
Organizations are investing heavily in becoming data-centric. Data Governance practitioners must begin to deploy effective Data Governance techniques to support these investments. One of these techniques is to tackle the problem of convincing stakeholders that Data Governance is necessary. This webinar will help you address that challenge.
Join Bob Seiner for this RWDG webinar, where he will provide three questions that must be answered thoroughly and honestly from a business and technical perspective. The answers to these questions will provide practitioners with the artillery needed to break down barriers preventing the organization from being convinced that the time is right to formalize Data Governance.
This webinar will focus on:
- Identifying the stakeholders that must be convinced
- The three questions that must be asked of the stakeholders
- What answers you should expect to receive
- The answers that may surprise you

DataEd Online: Unlock Business Value through Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
The document discusses how to unlock business value through data governance by focusing on reinforcing the perception of data governance as an investment rather than a cost, using success stories and concrete examples to gain organizational support, and developing a vocabulary and narratives to help management understand key business concepts. It also provides context on data management practices and frameworks that can help establish effective data governance.
Data-Ed Webinar: The Seven Deadly Data Sins - Emerging from Management PurgatoryDATAVERSITY
While wrath and envy are best left for human resources to address, overcoming the numerous obstacles that often inhibit successful data management must be a full organizational effort. The difficulty of implementing a new data strategy often goes underappreciated, particularly the multi-faceted nature of the challenges that need to be met. 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.
In this webinar, we will discuss these barriers—the titular “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 and alternative approaches
RWDG Slides: Data Architecture Is Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Data Architecture and Data Governance are the same thing! Aren’t they?
Most people would say that this line of thinking is absurd — or even worse. There is NO WAY that they are the same thing. Or are they?
This RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner and his special guest Anthony Algmin looks at the disciplines of Data Governance and Data Architecture and explores how much they are the same … and how they are different. The speakers will let you draw your own conclusion, but they will get you thinking about whether Data Architecture and Data Governance are two sides of the same coin.
In this webinar, Bob and Anthony will discuss:
• What is meant by the saying two sides of the same coin … and how it relates
• The similarities between Data Architecture and Data Governance
• The differences between the two
• How to use Data Architecture to sell Data Governance … and the other way around
• Deciding if the two disciplines are the same … or different

Join Bob Seiner for this RWDG webinar, where he will provide three questions that must be answered thoroughly and honestly from a business and technical perspective. The answers to these questions will provide practitioners with the artillery needed to break down barriers preventing the organization from being convinced that the time is right to formalize Data Governance.
This webinar will focus on:
- Identifying the stakeholders that must be convinced
- The three questions that must be asked of the stakeholders
- What answers you should expect to receive
- The answers that may surprise you
- Using the answers to convince stakeholders that Data Governance is necessary
Business Value Through Reference and Master Data StrategiesDATAVERSITY
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 — the 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

Guiding principles & best practices
The first step towards understanding data assets’ impact on your organization is understanding what those assets mean for each other. Metadata — literally, data about data — is a practice area required by good systems development, and yet is also perhaps the most mislabeled and misunderstood Data Management practice. Understanding metadata and its associated technologies as more than just straightforward technological tools can provide powerful insight into the efficiency of organizational practices, and enable you to combine practices into sophisticated techniques, supporting larger and more complex business initiatives. Program learning objectives include:
* Understanding how to leverage metadata practices in support of business strategy
* Discuss foundational metadata concepts
* Guiding principles for and lessons previously learned from metadata and its practical uses applied strategy
* Understanding how to leverage metadata practices in support of business strategy
* Metadata strategies, including:
* Metadata is a gerund so don’t try to treat it as a noun
* Metadata is the language of Data Governance
* Treat glossaries/repositories as capabilities, not technology

Data-Ed Webinar: The Seven Deadly Data Sins - Emerging from Management PurgatoryDATAVERSITY
While wrath and envy are best left for human resources to address, overcoming the numerous obstacles that often inhibit successful data management must be a full organizational effort. The difficulty of implementing a new data strategy often goes underappreciated, particularly the multi-faceted nature of the challenges that need to be met. 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.
In this webinar, we will discuss these barriers—the titular “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 and alternative approaches
RWDG Slides: Data Architecture Is Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Data Architecture and Data Governance are the same thing! Aren’t they?
Most people would say that this line of thinking is absurd — or even worse. There is NO WAY that they are the same thing. Or are they?
This RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner and his special guest Anthony Algmin looks at the disciplines of Data Governance and Data Architecture and explores how much they are the same … and how they are different. The speakers will let you draw your own conclusion, but they will get you thinking about whether Data Architecture and Data Governance are two sides of the same coin.
In this webinar, Bob and Anthony will discuss:
• What is meant by the saying two sides of the same coin … and how it relates
• The similarities between Data Architecture and Data Governance
• The differences between the two
• How to use Data Architecture to sell Data Governance … and the other way around
• Deciding if the two disciplines are the same … or different

The Business Value of Metadata for Data GovernanceRoland Bullivant
In today’s digital economy, data drives the core processes that deliver profitability and growth - from marketing, to finance, to sales, supply chain, and more. It is also likely that for many large organizations much of their key data is retained in application packages from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and others. In order to ensure that their foundational data infrastructure runs smoothly, most organizations have adopted a data governance initiative. These typically focus on the people and processes around managing data and information. Without an actionable link to the physical systems that run key business processes, however, governance programs can often lack the ‘teeth’ to effectively implement business change.
Metadata management is a process that can link business processes and drivers with the technical applications that support them. This makes data governance actionable and relevant in today’s fast-paced and results-driven business environment. One of the challenges facing data governance teams however, is the variety in format, accessibility and complexity of metadata across the organization’s systems.
Enterprise Architecture vs. Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a visual blueprint of the organization, and shows key interrelationships between data, process, applications, and more. By abstracting these assets in a graphical view, it’s possible to see key interrelationships, particularly as they relate to data and its business impact across the organization. Join us for a discussion on how Data Architecture is a key component of an overall Enterprise Architecture for enhanced business value and success.
Building a Data Strategy – Practical Steps for Aligning with Business GoalsDATAVERSITY
Developing a Data Strategy for your organization can seem like a daunting task – but it’s worth the effort.

This webinar will help demystify Data Strategy and its relationship to Data Architecture and will provide concrete, practical ways to get started.
Data Architecture is foundational to an information-based operational environment. Without proper structure and efficiency in organization, data assets cannot be utilized to their full potential, which in turn harms bottom-line business value. When designed well and used effectively, however, a strong Data Architecture can be referenced to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems commonly encountered in organizations.
The goal of this webinar is not to instruct you in being an outright Data Architect, but rather to enable you to envision a number of uses for Data Architectures that will maximize your organization’s competitive advantage. With that being said, we will:
Discuss Data Architecture’s guiding principles and best practices
Demonstrate how to utilize Data Architecture to address a broad variety of organizational challenges and support your overall business strategy
Illustrate how best to understand foundational Data Architecture concepts based on “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (DAMA DMBOK)

Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business world’s consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: “Big Data,” “NoSQL,” “Data Scientist,” and so on. Few realize that all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates data modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology and business investment depends.
Specific learning objectives include:
- Understanding what types of challenges require data modeling to be part of the solution
- How automation requires standardization on derivable via data modeling techniques
- Why only a working partnership between data and the business can produce useful outcomes
Analytics play a critical role in supporting strategic business initiatives. Despite the obvious value to analytic professionals of providing the analytics for these initiatives, many executives question the economic return of analytics as well as data lakes, machine learning, master data management, and the like.
Technology professionals need to calculate and present business value in terms business executives can understand. Unfortunately, most IT professionals lack the knowledge required to develop comprehensive cost-benefit analyses and return on investment (ROI) measurements.
This session provides a framework to help technology professionals research, measure, and present the economic value of a proposed or existing analytics initiative, no matter the form that the business benefit arises. The session will provide practical advice about how to calculate ROI and the formulas, and how to collect the necessary information.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesn’t address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.
Enterprise data literacy. A worthy objective? Certainly! A realistic goal? That remains to be seen. As companies consider investing in data literacy education, questions arise about its value and purpose. While the destination – having a data-fluent workforce – is attractive, we wonder how (and if) we can get there.
Kicking off this webinar series, we begin with a panel discussion to explore the landscape of literacy, including expert positions and results from focus groups:
- why it matters,
- what it means,
- what gets in the way,
- who needs it (and how much they need),
- what companies believe it will accomplish.
In this engaging discussion about literacy, we will set the stage for future webinars to answer specific questions and feature successful literacy efforts.
The Data Trifecta – Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
Change is hard, especially in response to negative stimuli or what is perceived as negative stimuli. So organizations need to reframe how they think about data privacy, security and governance, treating them as value centers to 1) ensure enterprise data can flow where it needs to, 2) prevent – not just react – to internal and external threats, and 3) comply with data privacy and security regulations.
Working together, these roles can accelerate faster access to approved, relevant and higher quality data – and that means more successful use cases, faster speed to insights, and better business outcomes. However, both new information and tools are required to make the shift from defense to offense, reducing data drama while increasing its value.
Join us for this panel discussion with experts in these fields as they discuss:
- Recent research about where data privacy, security and governance stand
- The most valuable enterprise data use cases
- The common obstacles to data value creation
- New approaches to data privacy, security and governance
- Their advice on how to shift from a reactive to resilient mindset/culture/organization
You’ll be educated, entertained and inspired by this panel and their expertise in using the data trifecta to innovate more often, operate more efficiently, and differentiate more strategically.

Data Governance Trends and Best Practices To Implement TodayDATAVERSITY
1) The document discusses best practices for data protection on Google Cloud, including setting data policies, governing access, classifying sensitive data, controlling access, encryption, secure collaboration, and incident response.
2) It provides examples of how to limit access to data and sensitive information, gain visibility into where sensitive data resides, encrypt data with customer-controlled keys, harden workloads, run workloads confidentially, collaborate securely with untrusted parties, and address cloud security incidents.
3) The key recommendations are to protect data at rest and in use through classification, access controls, encryption, confidential computing; securely share data through techniques like secure multi-party computation; and have an incident response plan to quickly address threats.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Too often I hear the question “Can you help me with our data strategy?” Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component: the data strategy itself. A more useful request is: “Can you help me apply data strategically?” Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) data strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive –particularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tyson’s truism: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” This program refocuses efforts on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. It also contributes to three primary organizational data goals. Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organization’s data
- The way your people use data
- The way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
This will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (data strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why data strategy is necessary for effective data governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of data strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Who Should Own Data Governance – IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
The question is asked all the time: “What part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?” The typical answers are “the business” and “IT (information technology).” Another answer to that question is “Yes.” The program must be owned and reside somewhere in the organization. You may ask yourself if there is a correct answer to the question.
Join this new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner where Bob will answer the question that is the title of this webinar. Determining ownership of Data Governance is a vital first step. Figuring out the appropriate part of the organization to manage the program is an important second step. This webinar will help you address these questions and more.
In this session Bob will share:
- What is meant by “the business” when it comes to owning Data Governance
- Why some people say that Data Governance in IT is destined to fail
- Examples of IT positioned Data Governance success
- Considerations for answering the question in your organization
- The final answer to the question of who should own Data Governance
This document summarizes a research study that assessed the data management practices of 175 organizations between 2000-2006. The study had both descriptive and self-improvement goals, such as understanding the range of practices and determining areas for improvement. Researchers used a structured interview process to evaluate organizations across six data management processes based on a 5-level maturity model. The results provided insights into an organization's practices and a roadmap for enhancing data management.
MLOps – Applying DevOps to Competitive AdvantageDATAVERSITY
MLOps is a practice for collaboration between Data Science and operations to manage the production machine learning (ML) lifecycles. As an amalgamation of “machine learning” and “operations,” MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery, enabling the delivery of ML-based innovation at scale to result in:
Faster time to market of ML-based solutions
More rapid rate of experimentation, driving innovation
Assurance of quality, trustworthiness, and ethical AI
MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors have emerged with offerings to support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML and Google Vertex AI. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time-to-value.

Do People Really Know Their Fertility Intentions? Correspondence between Sel...Xiao Xu
Fertility intention data from surveys often serve as a crucial component in modeling fertility behaviors. Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.

9. Definitions
• Planning, implementation and control activities to ensure
consistency with a "golden version" of contextual data values
• … as opposed to mobile device management
• Gartner holds that MDM is a
discipline or strategy
– "… where the business and the IT organization
work together to ensure the uniformity, accuracy,
semantic persistence, stewardship and accountability
of the enterprise's official, shared master data."
• Sold as technology-based solution
• Official, consistent set of identifiers - examples of these core entities include:
– Parties (customers, prospects, people, citizens, employees, vendors, suppliers, trading
partners, individuals, organizations, citizens, patients, vendors, supplies, business partners,
competitors, students, products, financial structures *LEI*)
– Places (locations, offices, regional alignments, geographies)
– Things (accounts, assets, policies, products, services)
17Copyright 2020 by Data Blueprint Slide #
Definition: Reference Data Management
• Control over defined domain values (also known as vocabularies),
including:
– Control over standardized terms, code values and other unique identifiers;
– Business definitions for each value, business relationships within and across
domain value lists, and the;
– Consistent, shared use of
accurate, timely and
relevant reference data
values to classify and
categorize data.

MDM Failure Root-Causes
• 30% of MDM programs are regarded as failures
• 70% of SOA projects in complex, heterogeneous
environments had failed to yield the expected
business benefits unless MDM is included
• Root-causes of failures:
– 80% percent of MDM initiatives fail because of ineffective leadership,
underestimated magnitudes or an inability to deal with the cultural impact of the
change
– MDM was implemented as a technology or as a project
– MDM was an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) or an ERP
– MDM was an IT Effort
– MDM is separate to data governance and data quality
– MDM initiatives are implemented with inappropriate technology
– Internal politics and the silo mentality impede the MDM initiatives

orientation?
– Industrial work should be broken down

• What is meant by a process
orientation?
– Reunifying tasks into coherent
business processes
• What else must be part of the
analysis?
– Identify and abandon outdated rules

15 MDM Success Factors
1. Success is more likely and more frequently observed once users and prospects understand the
limitations and strengths of MDM.
2. Taking small steps and remaining educated on where the MDM market and technology vendors are
will increase longer-term success with MDM.
3. Set the right expectations for MDM initiative to help assure long-term success.
4. Long-term MDM success requires the involvement of the information architect.
5. Create a governance framework to ensure that individuals manage master data in a desirable
manner.
6. Strong alignment with the organization's business vision, demonstrated by measuring the
program's ongoing value, will underpin MDM success.
7. Use a strategic MDM framework through all stages of the MDM program activity cycle — strategize,
evaluate, execute and review.
8. Gain high-level business sponsorship for the MDM program, and build strong stakeholder support.
9. Start by creating an MDM vision and a strategy that closely aligns to the organization’s business
vision.
10. Use an MDM metrics hierarchy to communicate standards for success, and to objectively measure
progress.
11. Use a business case development process to increase business engagement.
12. Get the business to propose and own the KPIs; articulate the success of this scenario.
13. Measure the situation before and after the MDM implementation to determine the change.
14. Translate the change in metrics into financial results.
15. The business and IT organization should work together to achieve a single view of master data
