INFORMATION
QUALITY Keynote: Through metaphors and examples, Dr. Joyce Orsini will discuss the benefits of running an organization as a system. She will compare and contrast a systems approach to management with what exists in many companies today. She will discuss the interdependence of the different functions of the organization and how barriers between functions create suboptimal behavior and results. Conflicting goals, confusion, diffusion, and displacements result in poor performance and chaos. Ongoing chaos (stable chaos) is sometimes difficult to uncover, as it is repeatable, easy to document, and eligible for ISO status. Points will be clarified through examples from organizations with which Dr. Orsini has worked.

IQ
FEATURED PRESENTATION: Essentials of Effective Information Quality Management Larry P. English, President, Information Impact International, Inc. “Information Quality” functions are more prominent than ten years ago. But, one must understand what IQ means in order to call a function “Information” or “Data Quality Management.” To be effective and sustainable, an IQ or DQ function must conform to the same quality principles and practices that transformed manufacturing quality. The maturing of manufacturing Quality Management systems have paved the way for IQ management. In this presentation, Mr. English describes the essential and fundamental principles of Information Quality Improvement processes for maximum benefits and business effectiveness. Illustrations from organizations around the world that have implemented successful information quality processes, Mr. English describes the techniques and cultural transformation required for an effective and sustainable Information Quality environment.

Integrating the Capital Markets Organization using XML-Based Standards Christian Nentwich, Senior Consultant, Zuhlke Engineering Limited Robert James, Data Architect, Corporate, Investment Banking and Markets HSBC Group Many organizations in the capital markets are seeking to improve the efficiency of their business operations in order to reduce costs, increase margins and provide better customer service. This presentation will explain how many leading organizations in the capital markets are starting to achieve effective data integration by embracing 3rd party XML-based data standards such as FpML, FIXML and MDDL. The benefits and challenges to this approach will be explained using a real case study from HSBC. This presentation should be of benefit to any organization implementing third-party data standards. |

Enterprise
Architecture: Value Proposition John Zachman, President, Zachman International Most People still think the way to acquire funding for new systems is “cost-justification”. I would suggest that the Value Proposition for systems has radically changed. There are four reasons you “do” Architecture including alignment, integration, change management and reduced time to market. Without Architecture, there is NO WAY you can do any of these things. This presentation begins with a brief tutorial on the Framework for Enterprise Architecture and then develops the logic as to its value to the Information Age Enterprise. |

Where is the
Metadata with Generic Information Modelling? Rick F. van der Lans, R20/Consultancy B.V. The goal of generic information modelling is to create more adaptive and flexible information models through techniques such as avoiding overnormalisation, separating structure from integrity, and generalising models. Too often the moment information needs change, the information model, the database structure and the application code have to be changed. But there is a serious impact on metadata. Most of the metadata will end up in business rules instead of classic structural concepts. This presentation highlights the importance of generic modelling and explains the impact on metadata management.

Rules for Requirements Analysis Ralph Nijpels, Business Analyst, KLM Cargo In 2002-03 KLM Cargo did a post mortem on projects that did not return their projected benefits. The analysis turned up a pattern. The software was built as designed, of reasonable quality, on time, and within budget. However, a large number of functional changes were needed to fulfill changed or missing requirements. Here are the essential improvements made to Process Requirements, Information Requirements, and Business Rule Requirements that re-enforced each other and helped create a better business model including:

Driving Down
TCO with Data Warehouse Appliances Tim Young, Director, Netezza As data volumes continue to grow and IT budgets continue to shrink, companies face the challenge of increasing their analysis capabilities but with fewer resources. A solution receiving much attention is that of the “data warehouse appliance”. Through an architecture optimized for data warehousing and a construction almost entirely from commodity parts, these appliances look set to alter the landscape of business intelligence. This presentation answers the following questions drawing from real world experiences:

Merging Companies and Information Reconciliation Peter Lawson, Information Analyst, MOD Ken Allen, Partner, Skellbase Merging of companies and organisations invariably involves the need to examine the information required to carry out the future business and the information systems that support the business. Reconciliation of systems requires a detailed understanding of the information needed to perform the activities of the merged organisation and the information held in disparate information systems. This presentation will discuss the use of information models as the basis for the integration of information systems allowing decisions to be made from a position of knowledge.

How to Perform Information Stewardship within Business Process Redesign Jim Goetsch, Data Architect, Schneider National, Inc. This presentation describes how Schneider implemented an ‘information stewardship’ approach to ensure information quality within and across business processes being redesigned. Experience how our organization learned that information is the glue that integrates business processes.
The illustration includes the old and new process, conceptual data model, information policies, required information quality levels, process life-cycle states among others. The business gained the ability to maintain satisfactory quality at the entity/attribute level. A real life example illustrates the redesign of our ‘Accept the Transportation Order’ process. |

Implementing a Common Data Architecture Keith Gordon, Gordon Blain Associates Limited Jack Goodhew, Dover Harbour Board The Dover Harbour Board was seeking help with the design of a 'large database'. However, having discussed the problem with the analysts and developers in the ICT Department of the Dover Harbour Board, it became clear that there was a deeper problem. The development of a Common Data Architecture was proposed to inform, and assist with, all future system development, and the proposal was accepted. But, how did it work out in practice?

The Four Pillars of Common Coding Chris Maynard, Global Data Architect, JohnsonDiversey This session focuses on the experience of one multi-national, Johnson Diversey, in moving toward one code for one SKU - everywhere. The lessons learned are applicable to any initiative to eliminate duplicate and conflicting coding. Using this technique, Data Architecture, Data Management and IT Development all fit together for a complete solution and far less time is wasted on fruitless discussions and manipulation of coding. This session addresses the four key requirements for common coding and answers the question, “When is common coding a vital business enabler, and when is it an unacceptable business overhead? |

The Role of
SOA in Enterprise Data Integration Jonathan Carter, Principal Architect, Enterprise Architecture Solutions For any large organization a “top-down”, enterprise view of information is essential for managing the data that is inevitably shared across diverse systems. However, in practice this has proved difficult as the multiple views of data are often specific to the technology with which the data is managed, e.g. RDBMS, XML Schema. The concept of the Service provides an approach to regain a single view by separating the “what” (Information) from the “how” (Technology). |

How Yell Ltd Increased IQ While Saving Money Gerry Rankin, Information Architecture Principal, Yell, Ltd. Greg Larsen, Data Management Principal, Harte Hanks Ltd. Managing a 4 million record Customer and Prospect database with 50,000 weekly updates is always a major Information Quality challenge. Yell Ltd. implemented the SAP R/3 system two years ago and quickly noticed the costs of duplicate records, poor address quality, and customer dissatisfaction. Yell implemented improved data cleansing rules reducing duplicates by 80%. Manual processing is now down to about 300 records per week. Annual savings are estimated to be £1,000,000, surpassing the cost of implementing the project in the first few months of operation. You learn:
