| IBM
is the world's largest information technology company, with
80 years of leadership in helping businesses innovate. Drawing
on resources from across IBM and key Business Partners,
IBM offers a wide range of services, solutions and technologies
that enable customers to create an Information On Demand
environment.
Organisations
want to take control of their data. Currently, their vital
master data can be out of sync, incomplete, and inaccurate.
And they have been wrestling with silos of information for
over three decades. IBM Master Data Management is SOA-based
middleware designed to provide organisations the most flexible
framework to support enterprise structured and unstructured
data and business services, aligned with key business process.
IBM brings together all the key core components required
for a successful enterprise MDM strategy: information integration,
content management, business intelligence, and master data
management for specific data objects and master data solutions
for specific industries.
In March,
IBM was a platinum sponsor of the successful Worldwide CDI-MDM
event in San Francisco. IBM is pleased to be a platinum
sponsor for the UK CDI-MSM event for the second year running.
Our keynote speaker this year is Justin Lafayette (Director
of Strategy for Information Solutions, IBM Worldwide) and
several IBM customers will be presenting case studies throughout
the conference. Why not go along to the Evolution of MDM
session at 10.45am on Day 1 or come and see us on the IBM
stand to learn about how we help take control of your data?

The
drive for the future is to successfully focus on providing
quality support to core members whilst guaranteeing sufficient
financial income to ensure sustained activity.
The
four areas which DAMA UK recommends addressing over the
next two years are:
Academic
- to survey UK organisations to understand their Data Management
skill set needs and then induce academic institutions to
supply them.
Data
Quality (DQ) - to benchmark data quality standards
in the UK and encourage development of business awareness
of the importance of DQ and help develop DG metrics.
Government
regulations versus data - to increase awareness
of the legal implications of data management, assist organisations
in reducing their legal liabilities and support ETA (and
others) lobby for "data clever" legislation.
Data
Standards - survey requirements then work with
other organisations (eg BCS) to develop effective data standards.
