Keynote: Two worlds have grown up independently – the structured world and the unstructured world. The structured is one of data bases, operating systems, records, and files. The unstructured world is one of email, spreadsheets, document, communications, .pdf, .ppt and others. There is a world of opportunity in the bridging of these two worlds. However, these worlds are as foreign as AC and DC current. There is great potential when this gap is bridged. Whole new applications become possible. This presentation addresses the issues of creating a bridge between the structured and the unstructured worlds. |

Designing
a Repository for a Business Rules Engine Malcolm Chisholm, President, AskGet.com One of the most useful applications of a metadata repository is for driving a business rules engine. A business rules engine allows users to define business rules and then to execute these rules. Such applications are particularly useful where enterprises have to deal with large numbers of differently structured transactions. This presentation focuses of the design elements of a repository underlying a business rules engine. These elements are described in terms of the data model for the repository and use cases for the requirements of the rules engine. Participants will learn:

in Large Information and Distributed Environments Luke Thompson, Solutions Consultant, DataFlux UK Information in large and distributed environments; this presentation is designed to cover practical examples and benefits to be gained from IQ. Presentation will focus upon the value of IQ in real time, how to overcome inhibitors to IQ in distributed environments and how to leverage an IQ knowledge base across your company. To illustrate this advice, the presentation will be supported by an implementation of an ERP/SAP implementation for a Fortune 500 paper company.

Information Alchemy: How to Turn Base Data into Gold Gary Palmer, Marketing Information Manager, Sweet & Maxwell Ltd. This presentation shows how to use the concept of the information value chain to reconfigure information eco-systems to deliver maximum benefit. Uses case studies to examine how organisational structures can be designed to support managing information like any other asset, and shows how this opens up a new and pivotal role at the heart of the business. The cycle of information management is explained, and its’ impact on organisations at different stages is explored. Concludes with radical approaches to the key issue of data quality, and to ensuring the right balance of resource goes into adding real business value. |

Realtime
Business Intelligence and Realtime Data Warehousing: the State of the Art Rick van der Lans, R20/Consultancy Business intelligence users are demanding that the frequency with which data warehouses are updated is increased. Therefore, we are slowly moving from classic data warehouses to realtime or near-online data warehouses. Developing this type of data warehouse is a technological challenge. Special tools and database technology is appearing on the market to make realtime data warehouses happen. But for some users, even this is too slow. They need realtime business intelligence. They want to analyse data before it is even stored in the data warehouse. For them, it is all about speed. A delay of seconds, sometimes even microseconds, could cost millions. In this session the state of realtime data warehousing and business intelligence are discussed. What are those tools and products capable of today? |

Putting
the I Back in IT Kjell Wittmaack, Platon A/S Information technology has fundamentally changed the way people think and communicate, how companies organize their processes and compete with each other, but still the information stored within those systems typically seem to be a source for problems rather than a source for fast and innovative solutions and decision making. The proactive Information Architect and CIO need to address this key issue in a visionary but pragmatic way. One approach is enterprise-wide Information Management step-by-step. This presentation will cover:

The
Lost Art of Conceptual Modeling Alec Sharp, Clariteq Systems Consulting Ltd At recent DAMA conferences, the high value of getting into the conceptual modeling space has been stressed, yet there is a startling lack of agreement on what a conceptual model is. One vendor offered the bizarre suggestion that it's a logical model printed without attributes or keys, while a data modeling guru offered a definition so close to physical DB design as to be unintelligible to business professionals. This presentation will offer definitions, guidelines, and practical techniques for conceptual modeling, much of it based on the speaker’s experience taking existing physical and logical models up to the conceptual level so “mere mortals” could comprehend them, and their business impacts.

Data Architecture – How to Advance an Enterprise Information Architecture in Large, Diverse Organisations Dan Paolini, Director, Data Management Services, State of New Jersey An Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) consists of the organization's information architecture vision, goals, objectives, policies, practices, and platforms. The creation of an EIA is a major yet essential commitment to any long-term strategic initiative to support enterprise architecture. Sounds great, but what do you do when you cannot agree on what it constitutes and “enterprise” Subsidiary units fear “enterprise” initiatives. This fear results from concerns over loss of control, a one size fits all approach, and an inability to meet unit priorities. The presentation discusses an approach to this problem by focusing on the value proposition for enterprise architecture.

META
DATA Keynote: Corporations are facing enormous transformative pressure. Success now demands a new level of information sharing. Markets demand that companies collaborate beyond the walls of the enterprise but inconsistent data impedes communication, decision-making and the basic operations of networked business models. To compete, companies must bridge information islands. Yet many firms lack the prerequisite lingua franca of common data. The irresistible force of the new collaborative enterprise is meeting an immovable object, the legacy system, which buries management in multiple myopic views of disaggregated, inconsistent, and dated data. Stranded information islands abound. The result can be a tangled mess of information that impairs customer service, forces duplication of effort, creates risk, and fumbles market opportunities. What was once everyone’s problem and no one’s responsibility needs someone to accept the role for master data governance. To survive and thrive, companies need a single version of the truth. This can be achieved through enterprise architectures and a new generation of master data management capabilities. Don Tapscott, one of the world’s leading thinkers on strategy and business explains how accurate master data can lift the veil of uncertainty, aid reporting/compliance, reduce costs, increase sales, simplify processes, improve loyalty, and optimize other IT investments. |

Integrating Collaborative Tools in an Enterprise Metadata Environment R Todd Stephens, Director, Collaboration and Online Services Group, BellSouth Collaboration strategies enable businesses to improve communication, overall processes and productivity, reducing time to market, redundancy, and saving precious budget dollars. Due to the wide variety of communication devices available, employees often waste time trying to determine the best way collect information about the data environment. The world of metadata must embrace this emerging technology in order to deliver business value to a higher plane. Integrating collaboration tools, search utilities, online meeting environments, discussions threads, and the variety of new information devices requires planning and coordination.

Common
Root Causes of Data Quality Issues Andy Bury, Senior Consultant, Teradata The presentation identifies and reviews the common root causes of data quality problems. A Fishbone diagram is used as a visual reference model that groups causes into four categories, People, Process, Information and Technology. Real examples of root causes and solutions will be discussed. Root cause analysis will be positioned within a Quality Improvement Process and the information needed to support effective root cause analysis discussed. |

BI
in the real world -- lessons from six years of The OLAP Surveys Nigel Pendse, The OLAP Report & Surveys There are many myths and theories about Business Intelligence, but this presentation is based entirely on real-world data from the world's largest international, independent BI survey, The OLAP Survey. It explores why organisations buy BI products, and suggests a better approach, based on maximising the business benefits achieved. It also looks at which business benefits are most and least likely to be achieved, data source and platform trends and what goes wrong, both in general and with particular products.

Modelling
Taxonomies Graham Witt, AeM Group Taxonomies are pervasive in enterprises of all kinds and have many uses, principally as an important tool for performance analysis. They take many forms. They are subject to subtle constraints. They, and the things they classify, are subject to change over time. All this means that care should be taken in modelling taxonomies. Yet they often get scant treatment when an application is being modelled. This session looks at types of taxonomies and different ways of modelling them. Areas covered include:

Mapping Your
Enterprise Data Strategy Donna Burbank, Director, Enterprise Modeling and Architecture Solutions, Embarcadero Technologies According to CIO Magazine’s “The State of the CIO 2004” survey, integrating and enhancing both systems and processes – as well as ensuring data integrity – are the two leading priorities of CIOs and IT executives. And when it’s their priority, it’s your priority. That’s why organizations are taking a model-driven, metadata-rich approach to building an enterprise data architecture strategy. Using metadata effectively can help you clearly document the context of your data, ensuring that the data you deliver is accurate and relevant. Learn how you can leverage modeling and metadata to:

Achieving Success on Customer Master Data at Nordea Jeanette Møller, Program Manager, Nordea Jørgen Steines, Vice President, Platon, A/S Nordea, the largest bank in Scandinavia has for several years focused on Master Data Management. Information quality and consistency is a great challenge after several mergers. One of the most challenging areas has been to establish the right implementation strategy on Customer Master Data. The strategy must on one hand contribute to the high demands coming from the markets and customers; on the other hand it must contribute to the high demands from within the company. To top this off, the progress will be very dependent on the organizational maturity which is always one step behind - i.e. improvement of the information processes has to adjust to organizational structures that are difficult to change.

Securing Office
Printed Documents Against Leak Issues and Espionage Philippe Jordan, VP Business Development, AlpVision SA An increasing number of organizations –private and governmental- are willing to secure their printed documents to ensure confidential and classified documents can be traced. The Washington Post disclosed recently that copier machines and color printers secretly hide some encoded and hidden information that enable governments to identify printed sources. By using similar principles, organizations are now able to fight against leak issues and espionage by printing and retrieving invisible information marked secretly with office printers.
