What: "Terms of Engagement: Where Business and IT Meet in the Governance Arena" Presenter: Ian Rowlands, Sr. Director of Product Management, ASG Software Solutions Once thought of as "nice to have" for data management professionals seeking to control chaotic environments, data governance is now recognized as a necessary discipline for improving decision making and maximizing the overall business value of data. However, data governance is not always as easy as it sounds, simply because IT and business often pursue it independently. Data governance for IT without input from the business side is destined to fail; similarly, governance efforts for business without technical understanding will inevitably falter. Advanced usage of metadata management and business glossary technology can solve this problem. Why: This session will demonstrate how metadata management and business glossaries are powerful first steps in connecting IT and business and accelerating the success of data governance initiatives. For Whom: IT and business executives attending Enterprise Data World. When & Where:
