Dinkel

How to Implement a Comprehensive Data Integration Approach Aligned to Business Needs

Chris Dinkel, Senior Solutions Architect, Business&Decision

 

Data Integration includes an organization’s inventory of data, information assets and strategies and tools that can help migrate and align fragmented data assets with business goals. Data integration strategies include single, federated or virtual compilations of data for a specific business goal.

 

That said, the environment is changing.  New technologies including cloud computing, faster processors, database innovations, and optimized architectures can significantly improved information management.

 

In this session, attendees will learn different approaches for managing their data integration efforts with a focus on understanding what your information users really want and need.

 

11:30am-12:30pm

Kerrigan

Structuring the Unstructured: How to Design the Data Architecture to Make BI More Actionable

Mike Kerrigan, Vice President, Business Applications, Laurus Technologies

 

Executives, business unit managers, staff and statisticians all need information at various times and in various forms. The BI architecture must be able to effectively and quickly provide users with reliable, accurate and up-to-date information to help them make decisions of different levels of complexity.

 

With all the different users and levels of complexity how do you design the architecture to support the varying needs?

 

In this session attendees will learn:

 

  • How to design a robust architecture that dispenses effective data

  • How to make sure the architecture supports legal and regulatory requirements

  • How to insure that the right data is acquired and managed.

  • How to manage how the data is extracted, cleaned, transmitted and loaded to “populate” databases.

  • How to implement and manage the repositories that organize data and metadata

  • Applications and other software tools used for analysis.

  • Tools and applications that address how information workers and non-IT analysts will access, display, visualize and manipulate data.

  • How to implement operational processes that help resolve security, error handling, data auditing, archiving and privacy

In this session, attendees will learn:

 

  • Where to measure, what to measure and how to measure

  • How to make metrics relevant

  • How to get buy-in for your plan
