JANUARY 2008 NEWSLETTER
January Meeting
February Meeting
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Members,
Happy New Year.
2007 was a good year, with many trends points in the direction of the
data management profession once again. MDM (Master Data Management) is
now emphasizing data governance and stewardship beyond integration
support. Data Modeling and Profiling has been increasingly relevant in
SOA implementations. More and more business representatives are showing
interest in overall data quality management. IT departments themselves
are also going through transformations as management discovers to be a
metric driven organization and maintain high service levels cost
effectively, IT managers themselves also need good information
themselves.
How was your 2007? What do you expect will be the trends in 2008?
What are your successes? What are your concerns? We would like to hear them and use our monthly meetings to address these.
That said, I hope you made it at least to a number of the
monthly meetings and especially DAMA Day. We have over 120 names on our
registry, a full set of sponsors, and two tracks organized with a new
partner professional organization, Integration Consortium. We really
appreciate all of you who attended, our speakers, sponsors, and IC
providing a rich set of topics to enhance our own content. A special
welcome to new members who have joined our chapter as a result of their
DAMA Day participation.
A new year is here and so is a new program. We will kick off
January with a session on data modeling from one of our board members
and an expert modeler himself, Francois Cartier. We will then discuss
Data Quality in February and have a full day, low cost work shop (pre-
registration required) on Data Interoperability Strategy in March. Our
website have the program highlights and we invite your comments. Also,
if you are interested in other topics or presenting, please email Diby,
our program director at programs@sfdama.org.
We are looking forward to a new year and seeing you at more of our meetings.
Sincerely,
Mehmet Orun
