What is a lasting solution to the sea of errors, headaches, and losses caused by inconsistent and inaccurate master data such as customer and product records? This is the data that your business counts on to operate business processes and make decisions. But this data is often incomplete or in conflict because it resides in multiple IT systems. Master Data Management (MDM)'s programs are the solution to this problem, but these programs can fail without the investment and involvement of business managers.
Listen to Rob Karel, Forrester analyst, and Jignesh Shah from Software AG to learn about a new, process-driven approach to MDM and why it is a win-win for both business and IT managers.

Gartner: Master Data Management FunctionalityGartner
MDM solutions require tightly integrated capabilities including data modeling, integration, synchronization, propagation, flexible architecture, granular and packaged services, performance, availability, analysis, information quality management, and security. These capabilities allow organizations to extend data models, integrate and synchronize data in real-time and batch processes across systems, measure ROI and data quality, and securely manage the MDM solution.
Tackling Data Quality problems requires more than a series of tactical, one-off improvement projects. By their nature, many Data Quality problems extend across and often beyond an organization. Addressing these issues requires a holistic architectural approach combining people, process, and technology. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide practical ways to control Data Quality issues in your organization.

Data Warehouse or Data Lake, Which Do I Choose?DATAVERSITY
Today’s data-driven companies have a choice to make – where do we store our data? As the move to the cloud continues to be a driving factor, the choice becomes either the data warehouse (Snowflake et al) or the data lake (AWS S3 et al). There are pro’s and con’s for each approach. While the data warehouse will give you strong data management with analytics, they don’t do well with semi-structured and unstructured data with tightly coupled storage and compute, not to mention expensive vendor lock-in. On the other hand, data lakes allow you to store all kinds of data and are extremely affordable, but they’re only meant for storage and by themselves provide no direct value to an organization.
Enter the Open Data Lakehouse, the next evolution of the data stack that gives you the openness and flexibility of the data lake with the key aspects of the data warehouse like management and transaction support.
In this webinar, you’ll hear from Ali LeClerc who will discuss the data landscape and why many companies are moving to an open data lakehouse. Ali will share more perspective on how you should think about what fits best based on your use case and workloads, and how some real world customers are using Presto, a SQL query engine, to bring analytics to the data lakehouse.
Data Architecture, Solution Architecture, Platform Architecture — What’s the ...DATAVERSITY
A solid data architecture is critical to the success of any data initiative. But what is meant by “data architecture”? Throughout the industry, there are many different “flavors” of data architecture, each with its own unique value and use cases for describing key aspects of the data landscape. Join this webinar to demystify the various architecture styles and understand how they can add value to your organization.
Reference matter data management:
Two categories of structured data :
Master data: is data associated with core business entities such as customer, product, asset, etc.
Transaction data: is the recording of business transactions such as orders in manufacturing, loan and credit card payments in banking, and product sales in retail.
Reference data: is any kind of data that is used solely to categorize other data found in a database, or solely for relating data in a database to information beyond the boundaries of the enterprise .
Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.
Join Donna Burbank and her guest, Nigel Turner, as they discuss how data models & metadata-driven data governance can be applied in your organization in order to achieve improved data quality.
Building an Effective Data & Analytics Operating Model A Data Modernization G...Mark Hewitt
This is the age of analytics—information resulting from the systematic analysis of data.
Insights gained from applying data and analytics to business allows large and small organizations across diverse industries—be it healthcare, retail, manufacturing, financial, or others—to identify new opportunities, improve core processes, enable continuous learning and differentiation, remain competitive, and thrive in an increasingly challenging business environment.
The key to building a data-driven practice is a Data and Analytics Operating Model (D&AOM) which enables the organization to establish standards for data governance, controls for data flows (both within and outside the organization), and adoption of appropriate technological innovations.
Success measures of a data initiative may include:
• Creating a competitive advantage by fulfilling unmet needs,
• Driving adoption and engagement of the digital experience platform (DXP),
• Delivering industry standard data and metrics, and
• Reducing the lift on service teams.

Many organizations are immature when it comes to data and analytics use. The answer lies in delivering a greater level of insight from data, straight to the point of need.
There are so many Data Architecture best practices today, accumulated from years of practice. In this webinar, William will look at some Data Architecture best practices that he believes have emerged in the past two years and are not worked into many enterprise data programs yet. These are keepers and will be required to move towards, by one means or another, so it’s best to mindfully work them into the environment.
Presentation on Data Mesh: The paradigm shift is a new type of eco-system architecture, which is a shift left towards a modern distributed architecture in which it allows domain-specific data and views “data-as-a-product,” enabling each domain to handle its own data pipelines.

Increasing Your Business Data and Analytics MaturityDATAVERSITY
For a few years now, companies of all sizes have been looking at data as a lever to increase revenues, reduce costs or improve efficiency. However, we believe the power of using data as a strategic asset is still in its early stages. One of the main reasons for that is business leaders still do not understand that the data & analytics maturity should be seen as a long time journey and an evolving enterprise learning. This webinar will present some key points on how data management leaders can succeed in their mission by sharing some practical experiences.
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.

Rob Karel - Ensuring The Value Of Your Trusted Data - Data Quality Summit 2008DataValueTalk
- The document discusses building a business case for trusted data and master data management (MDM) initiatives through a bottom-up valuation approach. It recommends starting with an individual line-of-business process to identify and address data quality issues to quickly realize value.
- Examples of target processes include reducing call center inefficiencies through better customer data, decreasing wasted marketing costs from improved targeting, and lowering supply chain breakdowns by ensuring data integrity. Metrics like data freshness, accuracy, and completeness should be used to ensure initiatives are on track.
- A multi-phase, long-term view of data governance as a "trusted data program" is advocated over viewing MDM as the goal in itself. Buy-

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

This would take the place of a classic recommendations slide. It would be mandated for all presentations. We would not mandate how the analyst would have to balance between short-term and long-term advice, except that we would require that there must be some short-term advice. Our coaching to analysts on this would be: These are like recommendations, but we need to be sure they are very concrete and actionable. The things in the short-term bucket are the things we recommend the client actually do as soon as they get back to the office – and we should build our content in a way that they will have a true sense of urgency to do those things. The things in the long-term bucket should be no less concrete and actionable, but are the more strategic actions that clearly take more time to bring about, and also (in areas where things are changing rapidly, like Cloud) when we think the world of “thing X” will be very different a year from now.
An overview on the different offerings along the MDM methodology lifecycle from assessment to operation. Using the offering components on this slide we provide customers different entry points dependent on where they are in the life cycle. If they are just starting to think about MDM the MDM Audit is the natural first step. As this is not bound to our products we help customers to identify the potential and value of MDM without forcing them to decide for a tool at that stage. Based on the results of this audit we provide planning and technical implementation offerings as well as optimization.
