DAMA
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. |

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. |

IQ
Keynote: Few organizations have the “luxury” of having their Information Quality function driven by their top management that gives the function an executive priority in the organization. The reality is most organizations begin their data quality journey at the grass roots by those who feel the pain of process failure due to defective information. And most often the journey focuses on the data in the databases. But the real goal is business performance excellence—not just fixing defects in databases. In this presentation, Mr. English describes the journey of maturing the Organization’s Information Quality capability and with it the business results. While every organization will have its unique pilgrimage with its unique twists and turns, there are critical success factors each must accomplish to sustain the journey.

CLOSING
Keynote: Bringing Business and IT closer together is not an easy task. We all know that getting IT to fulfill the needs and desires of the Business is far more than a mere technical issue, it is mainly about organization, culture and politics. Business/IT alignment is about the relationship between Business and IT, the role IT plays in the business strategy, and the added value IT can offer in achieving the company's mission. Today a lot of organisations are looking for the right 'angle' to Business & IT alignment, and maybe Information Management could be THE key issue that can not only create a new dialogue between them, but can actually bring Business and IT closer together. Business feels the pain of Information Management, Business feels the compliance pressures of Information Management, and IT can take up the issue and transform into a pro-active leadership role in the organisation. Information Management could be the ideal ground for better alignment.
