Despite its immaterial nature, data has a tendency to pile up as time goes on, and can quickly be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance and streamlining of processes for its management. This presentation will provide you with an understanding of reference and Master Data Management (MDM), one such method for keeping mass amounts of business data organized and functional towards achieving business goals.
MDM’s guiding principles include the establishment and implementation of authoritative data sources and effective means of delivering data to various business processes, as well as increases to the quality of information used in organizational analytical functions (such as BI). To that end, attendees of this webinar will learn how to:
Structure their Data Management processes around these principles
Incorporate Data Quality engineering into the planning of reference and MDM
Understand why MDM is so critical to their organization’s overall data strategy
Discuss foundational MDM concepts based on “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (DAMA DMBOK)
You Need a Data Catalog. Do You Know Why?Precisely
The data catalog has become a popular discussion topic within data management and data governance circles. A data catalog is a central repository that contains metadata for describing data sets, how they are defined, and where to find them. TDWI research indicates that implementing a data catalog is a top priority among organizations we survey. The data catalog can also play an important part in the governance process. It provides features that help ensure data quality, compliance, and that trusted data is used for analysis. Without an in-depth knowledge of data and associated metadata, organizations cannot truly safeguard and govern their data.
Join this on-demand webinar to learn more about the data catalog and its role in data governance efforts.

To take a “ready, aim, fire” tactic to implement Data Governance, many organizations assess themselves against industry best practices. The process is not difficult or time-consuming and can directly assure that your activities target your specific needs. Best practices are always a strong place to start.
Join Bob Seiner for this popular RWDG topic, where he will provide the information you need to set your program in the best possible direction. Bob will walk you through the steps of conducting an assessment and share with you a set of typical results from taking this action. You may be surprised at how easy it is to organize the assessment and may hear results that stimulate the actions that you need to take.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- The value of performing a Data Governance best practice assessment
- A practical list of industry Data Governance best practices
- Criteria to determine if a practice is best practice
- Steps to follow to complete an assessment
- Typical recommendations and actions that result from an assessment
Master Data Management - Aligning Data, Process, and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Master Data Management (MDM) can provide significant value to the organization in creating consistent key data assets such as Customer, Product, Supplier, Patient, and the list goes on. But getting MDM “right” requires a strategic mix of Data Architecture, business process, and Data Governance. Join this webinar to learn how to find the “sweet spot” between technology, design, process, and people for your MDM initiative.
This presentation reports on data governance best practices. Based on a definition of fundamental terms and the business rationale for data governance, a set of case studies from leading companies is presented. The content of this presentation is a result of the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Data Governance — Aligning Technical and Business ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Governance can have a varied definition, depending on the audience. To many, data governance consists of committee meetings and stewardship roles. To others, it focuses on technical data management and controls. Holistic data governance combines both of these aspects, and a robust data architecture and associated diagrams can be the “glue” that binds business and IT governance together. Join this webinar for practical tips and hands-on exercises for aligning data architecture & data governance for business and IT success.
Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program
Data Architecture - The Foundation for Enterprise Architecture and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Organizations are faced with an increasingly complex data landscape, finding themselves unable to cope with exponentially increasing data volumes, compounded by additional regulatory requirements with increased fines for non-compliance. Enterprise architecture and data governance are often discussed at length, but often with different stakeholder audiences. This can result in complementary and sometimes conflicting initiatives rather than a focused, integrated approach. Data governance requires a solid data architecture foundation in order to support the pillars of enterprise architecture. In this session, IDERA’s Ron Huizenga will discuss a practical, integrated approach to effectively understand, define and implement an cohesive enterprise architecture and data governance discipline with integrated modeling and metadata management.
Product-thinking is making a big impact in the data world with the rise of Data Products, Data Product Managers, data mesh, and treating “Data as a Product.” But Honest, No-BS: What is a Data Product? And what key questions should we ask ourselves while developing them? Tim Gasper (VP of Product, data.world), will walk through the Data Product ABCs as a way to make treating data as a product way simpler: Accountability, Boundaries, Contracts and Expectations, Downstream Consumers, and Explicit Knowledge.
Data protection and privacy regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) have been major drivers for data governance initiatives and the emergence of data catalog solutions. Organizations have an ever-increasing appetite to leverage their data for business advantage, either through internal collaboration, data sharing across ecosystems, direct commercialization, or as the basis for AI-driven business decision-making. This requires data governance and especially data asset catalog solutions to step up once again and enable data-driven businesses to leverage their data responsibly, ethically, compliantly, and accountably.
This presentation explores how data catalog has become a key technology enabler in overcoming these challenges.
The document discusses data governance and outlines several key points:
1) Many organizations have little or no focus on data governance, though most CIOs plan to implement enterprise-wide data governance in the next three years.
2) Data governance refers to the overall management of availability, usability, integrity and security of enterprise data.
3) Effective data governance requires policies, processes, business rules, roles and responsibilities, and technologies to be successfully implemented.
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.
The document discusses data governance and why it is an imperative activity. It provides a historical perspective on data governance, noting that as data became more complex and valuable, the need for formal governance increased. The document outlines some key concepts for a successful data governance program, including having clearly defined policies covering data assets and processes, and establishing a strong culture that values data. It argues that proper data governance is now critical to business success in the same way as other core functions like finance.
This presentation was part of the IDS Webinar on Data Governance. It gives a brief overview of the history on Data Governance, describes how governing data has to be further developed in the era of business and data ecosystems, and outlines the contribution of the International Data Spaces Association on the topic.
The Importance of MDM - Eternal Management of the Data MindDATAVERSITY
Despite its immaterial nature, data has a tendency to pile up as time goes on, and can quickly be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance and streamlining of processes for its management. This presentation will provide you with an understanding of reference and master data management (MDM), one such method for keeping mass amounts of business data organized and functional towards achieving business goals.
MDM’s guiding principles include the establishment and implementation of authoritative data sources and effective means of delivering data to various business processes, as well as increases to the quality of information used in organizational analytical functions (such as BI).
To that end, attendees of this webinar will learn how to:
- Structure their data management processes around these principles

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

At the same time, technical roles need a strong foundation in Data Architecture principles and best practices. Join this webinar to understand the key components of Data Literacy, and practical ways to implement a Data Literacy program in your organization.
The document discusses Master Data Management (MDM). It defines MDM as a framework for creating and maintaining authoritative, reliable, accurate and secure master data across an enterprise. The key points covered are:
- MDM is needed to resolve data uncertainty and have a single version of truth. It identifies master data items and manages them.
- MDM implementation involves identifying master data sources, appointing data stewards, developing a data model, choosing tools, and designing infrastructure to generate and test master data.
- MDM provides benefits like a single version of truth, increased consistency, data governance and facilitates multiple domains and data analysis across departments.
Data Modeling Best Practices - Business & Technical ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Modeling is hotter than ever, according to a number of recent surveys. Part of the appeal of data models lies in their ability to translate complex data concepts in an intuitive, visual way to both business and technical stakeholders. This webinar provides real-world best practices in using Data Modeling for both business and technical teams.

Organizations today need a broad set of enterprise data cloud services with key data functionality to modernize applications and utilize machine learning. They need a comprehensive platform designed to address multi-faceted needs by offering multi-function data management and analytics to solve the enterprise’s most pressing data and analytic challenges in a streamlined fashion.
In this research-based session, I’ll discuss what the components are in multiple modern enterprise analytics stacks (i.e., dedicated compute, storage, data integration, streaming, etc.) and focus on total cost of ownership.
A complete machine learning infrastructure cost for the first modern use case at a midsize to large enterprise will be anywhere from $3 million to $22 million. Get this data point as you take the next steps on your journey into the highest spend and return item for most companies in the next several years.
Data at the Speed of Business with Data Mastering and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Do you ever wonder how data-driven organizations fuel analytics, improve customer experience, and accelerate business productivity? They are successful by governing and mastering data effectively so they can get trusted data to those who need it faster. Efficient data discovery, mastering and democratization is critical for swiftly linking accurate data with business consumers. When business teams can quickly and easily locate, interpret, trust, and apply data assets to support sound business judgment, it takes less time to see value.
Join data mastering and data governance experts from Informatica—plus a real-world organization empowering trusted data for analytics—for a lively panel discussion. You’ll hear more about how a single cloud-native approach can help global businesses in any economy create more value—faster, more reliably, and with more confidence—by making data management and governance easier to implement.
What is data literacy? Which organizations, and which workers in those organizations, need to be data-literate? There are seemingly hundreds of definitions of data literacy, along with almost as many opinions about how to achieve it.
In a broader perspective, companies must consider whether data literacy is an isolated goal or one component of a broader learning strategy to address skill deficits. How does data literacy compare to other types of skills or “literacy” such as business acumen?
This session will position data literacy in the context of other worker skills as a framework for understanding how and where it fits and how to advocate for its importance.

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.

Brightwell ILC Futures workshop David Sinclair presentationILC- UK
As part of our futures focused project with Brightwell we organised a workshop involving thought leaders and experts which was held in April 2024. Introducing the session David Sinclair gave the attached presentation.
For the project we want to:
- explore how technology and innovation will drive the way we live
- look at how we ourselves will change e.g families; digital exclusion
What we then want to do is use this to highlight how services in the future may need to adapt.
e.g. If we are all online in 20 years, will we need to offer telephone-based services. And if we aren’t offering telephone services what will the alternative be?
This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.
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!

• Confusion as to the system's value
– Users lack confidence
– Business did not know how to use
"the MDM"
• General agreement
– Restart the effort
• "Root cause" analysis
– Consensus
– Poor quality data
• Response
– Get data quality-ing!
• Inexperienced
– Immature data quality practices
– Tool/technological focus
– Purchased a data quality tool
8. – as opposed to mobile device management
• Gartner holds that MDM is a discipline
– "… 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 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)
• Provide context for transactions
• From the term "Master File"
Master Data Management Definition

Copyright 2018 by Data Blueprint
Wikipedia: Golden Version
• In software development:
– The Golden Master is usually the RTM (Released to Manufacturing)
version, and therefore the commercial version. It represents the
development stage of "RTM" (Released To Manufacturing), often
referred to as "going gold", or "gone golden".
– Often confused with "gold master" which refers to a physical
recording entity such as that sent to a manufacturing plant.
• In data management:
– It is the data value representing the
"correct" answer to the business question
• Definition-Reference/Master Data Management
– Planning, implementation and control activities to ensure
consistency with a "golden version" of contextual data values.

Reference Data Facts 2012
• Home-grown reference data solutions predominate,
putting institutions at risk for meeting regulatory
constraints
• Risk management is seen as a more important
business driver for improving data quality than cost

• Global industry-wide survey of
reference data professionals
• Results show: Poor quality of
reference data continues to
create major problems for
financial institutions.
Copyright 2013 by Data Blueprint
Reference Data Facts 2012, cont’d
• Despite recommended practices of centralizing
reference data operations, 31% of the firms surveyed
still manage data locally
• New and changing regulatory requirements have
prompted many financial service companies to re-
evaluate their reference data strategies. To prepare
for new regulations,
nearly 62% of survey
respondents are planning
to extend or customize
their reference data
systems during 2012 and 2013.

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

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.

15 MDM Success Factors
55
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.
