A2 Radio: Get Control Over Your Data Quality and Data Governance

As more organizations today are looking to leverage data and data insights to gain competitive advantage, a laser-focused spotlight is being shined on that data. Just how good is it? Are we all using the same definitions? Are we paying attention to consumer privacy concerns and regulations? Can your data stand up to that kind of scrutiny? What if it's your C-level executives who are looking that carefully at your data? As enterprises have recognized the real value contained in their data, suddenly concepts such as data governance, data quality, and data management have gained more of the respect that they deserve. That's because the data and insights are only valuable when organizations pay attention to these important foundational data programs. Maybe that's why in our end-of-year quick poll on AllAnalytics.com, the greatest number of you -- 60% -- said that your Top Analytics Priority for 2017 would be "ensuring data quality and data trust." So how is that going for you so far in 2017? Got questions? Author and consultant Donna Burbank says that the value organizations have placed on data has conferred a new level of respect for programs such as data management and data governance. Burbank joins AllAnalytics radio as our guest on Thursday, April 27, at 1 pm ET/10am PT to talk about data quality and trust for 2017. Burbank is an author of the book Data Modeling for the Business: A Handbook for Aligning the Business with IT using High-Level Data Models, and she's also a principal for the consulting firm Global Data Strategy. She'll be talking about Navigating Data Governance in an Era of Global Uncertainty at the upcoming Interop ITX event in Las Vegas in May.
