of CDI, embracing customer single view, data quality and enterprise

is a critical asset that must be increasingly managed within and
beyond the enterprise - primarily to solve business problems in
customer service, sales, and marketing. Customer Data Integration
(CDI) solutions for financial services providers and online retailers
will require near real-time, business process-centric solutions
to compete in the business-to-consumer online world.”
Forrester concur: “A recent study of 960 global executives
identified CRM and customer segmentation as two of the top five
CEO tools to optimize business. However, plans are often held
captive to lowly customer data issues and time-consuming consolidation
processes. Customer Data Integration (CDI) is a new category of
software infrastructure that operationalizes the acquisition,
distribution, and management of customer information.”

including Ab Initio, DWL, Chordiant, Trillium, Numero, and Human

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.

in September 2003 by Infoconomy, award winning publisher of Information
Age, in partnership with AIIM Europe. This monthly publication,
provides constructive advice and examples of best practice to individuals
responsible for the management of documents, content and records
in both the public and private sectors. The magazine has a circulation

for the capture, storage and preservation, management, processing
and delivery of information and documents. The magazine tackles
the rapidly expanding range of complex issues and challenges that
M-iD readers face. These include: the need to manage the explosive
growth of electronic information, including digitally created and
scanned documents, emails dynamic web content and rich media, such
as digital audio and video; the need for closer collaboration with
third-party suppliers and customers; and the need to conform to
the increasing legislation governing the retention, disposal and
delivery of business information and documents. The content reflects
the fact that although M-iD 's readers may work with technology,
they may not come from a technology background – they may,
for example, be line-of-business managers in areas such as corporate
compliance or customer service, or professional archivists. |
