Title:  Governance initiatives through metadata-driven reference data management

Objective: To present metadata-driven reference data management as an effective strategy to initiate data governance programs across the enterprise.

Description: Over the last few years it has become clear that data governance is critical to business, but it still suffers from lack of executive buy-in for ongoing funding and support. The essential reason is the complexity in directly connecting governance programs to business value. One strategy to address this issue is to wrap governance within a more readily acceptable data program such as Master Data Management. For IT organizations that are looking to get started with data governance, MDM is an effective program to build data governance on. If organizations do not already have a MDM program, Reference Data Management is an effective strategy to get started on both data governance and MDM. This presentation discusses a metadata-driven reference data management solution to initiate data governance, MDM and metadata management.
