does not understand the need to manage metada. Consequently, today's metadata
initiatives must deliver immediateROI. This seminar demonstrates how organizations
have successfully gotten started and made rapid metadata progress in today's
environment by applying modern metadata strategies and concentrating on the
fundamentals. Upon completion, delegates will be able to articulate and implement
metadata programs, reduce integration costs and increase information asset quality
and utility.
Data and technology managers
who want to derive more value from existing and proposed systems. They are anxious
to understand how metadata can be productively implemented. The seminar assumes
no prior knowledge of metadata.
