The Data Governance Minefield
Anwar Mirza, Financial Systems & Data Governance Director, TNT Express

As Data Governance becomes more recognised, deciphering the jargon and structuring it for C-level management is a necessary but daunting task. Company issues, programme scope, business case preparation and a host of other problems create obstacles to make you wonder what to tackle first. As you become more familiar with the terminology, a plethora of consulting partners and software solutions claim to be able to solve whatever it is you need. This keynote gives insight into the road ahead and gives food for thought to novices, experienced professionals, vendors and consultancies to lay a roadmap for the minefield and help each other along the journey. This session will give a perspective on how to:
  • Structure a Data Governance programme in business terms
  • Give tips to kick start the programme
  • Give advice on how to avoid and manage the traps
  • Explain how companies can best leverage software suppliers and consulting firms

Field Reports for 'Top 15' MDM & MDG Solutions
Aaron Zornes, Founder & Chief Research Officer, The MDM Institute

Evaluating MDM and MDG solutions is comparable to purchasing your first home – too many new variables, lack of transparency in the pricing, and high pressure sales tactics. On top of this flux, IT executives have to contend with the marketing dogma of ongoing “stack wars” amongst the mega vendors and the dogmatic “we are the world” viewpoints of both MDM and BPM vendors.  To cope during 2012, many large enterprises will increasingly mandate a unified approach to both data and process architecture/design/management tools.  This session will focus on the "why" and "how" of MDM, BPM, and MDG technical evaluations by providing insight into:
  • Understanding the pros and cons of the dominant architectural models and evaluation criteria – e.g., pro-active data governance, identity resolution, hierarchy management, scalability, etc.
  • Assessing the vendor landscape – e.g., registry, data hub, ultra-hub, EAI/EII, portals, SOA-based web services, data service provider, system-centric BPM, human-centric BPM, etc.
  • Applying a rigorous methodology to product evaluations for both mega vendor solutions (IBM MDM, Informatica MDM, Microsoft MDS, Oracle MDM, SAP MDM/MDG) and  more pure play (Collibra, DataFlux, Heiler, IBI MD Center, Kalido, Orchestra, Software AG, Stibo, Talend, TIBCO)

Improving Customer Analytics through MDM
Andrew Hazelwood, Data Architect, CPP Group Plc  
CPP Group Plc (CPP) is an international life assistance business operating across 15 geographical markets with more than 200 business partners worldwide.  CPP provides products that help consumers cope with the anxieties and complexities of modern life. Consumers are increasingly reliant on their payment cards and mobile phones and want to protect what is important to them. The loss or disruption of these life essentials can be inconvenient and stressful.

CPP has implemented an MDM hub to consolidate 11 million customer details across 200 business partners.  In this case study, CPP highlights the challenges and pitfalls associated with a green-field MDM implementation, in addition to detailing the data quality work-streams that were initiated during and after the original project.  The ongoing MDM roadmap is also explained, including data warehouse integration and business data ownership.   CPP explains how they’ve used DataFlux technology to control and understand their incoming customer data, build a single customer view and get better analytics as a result.   Delegates attending this session will learn how CPP generated master records, amalgamating data from disparate sources to achieve the following results: an immediate saving of £500K, a 10% uplift in conversion rates for telephony-based campaigns, and an additional £24K revenue due to data improvements (during one project alone).   Key findings to be shared in this case study include:

  • Applying data quality technology to control and understand incoming customer data
  • Utilising Data Governance and MDM to build a single customer view
  • Leveraging single customer views to achieve better analytics

Return on Investment of Product Information for Multi-Channel MDM
Benjamin Rund, Chief Marketing Officer, Heiler Software

Customer loyalty is rapidly decreasing in the era of Google. Today, “shop everywhere” not only represents the customer’s ability to buy anywhere in the context of a multi-channel buying experience, but it also represents the increasing level of temptation that customers are being faced with to buy from other vendors.  This growing problem affects a majority of retailers today.  The results of a 2012 international PIM study shows a significant return on investment (ROI) from an enterprise Product Information Management (PIM) solution is possible within the framework of an organistion's multi-channel commerce strategy.  Over 300 retailers and manufacturers from 17 countries participated in this extensive study which established benchmarks on how international retailers and manufacturers can optimize their business model, revenues and costs with PIM.  Among the benefits of multi-channel MDM established in the study include: (1) time to market in e-commerce, (2) higher margins, and (3) conversion rates as well as cost savings when bringing onboard new suppliers.  This session will provide insights gained from the 2012 study which organisations can use today in applying MDM principles:
  • Identifying the KPIs for PIM MDM initiative
  • Leveraging time-to-market & product margins as KPIs
  • Justifying MDM programs via customer conversion/acquisition from multi-channel PIM

Inter-Organization MDM - Pitfalls & Solutions
Steven M. Gort, Teammanager Data Design, Dutch Tax Office
For sharing data, the Dutch Government has set up a system of Base Registries. This has enabled both cost savings and a reduction in administration.

According to the European Interoperability Framework (EIF), Base Registries are authentic sources of information under the control of a public administration.  Examples include registries of persons, vehicles, companies, licences, VAT numbers, locations, buildings, roads, etc. The EIF recommends public administrations to make their authentic sources of information available to others while implementing access and control mechanisms to ensure security and privacy in accordance with the relevant legislation.  This session illustrates issues with the application of Base Registries within the Dutch Tax Office. Examples mentioned are: shift in purpose(s) of using data, optimization for local use, governance, infrastructure and homonyms vs synonyms regarding address information.

Checklists for Assembling the Perfect Team
Gwen Thomas, President, The Data Governance Institute
Data and Information Governance programs are expected to address complicated, boundary-spanning issues. A single issue can impact (and be impacted by) multiple processes, data flows, and technologies. No single individual can ever be expected to bring deep expertise to all facets of any problem. Rather, program managers are expected to assemble teams that together possess the requisite mix of hard and soft skills, experience, knowledge, and perspectives. This session introduces the six most common governance processes and details the skills, knowledge, and perspectives needed to address each one. Attendees will leave with:
  • Guidelines for assembling lean core teams and fit-for-purpose virtual teams
  • Process and role descriptions
  • Detailed knowledge and skill checklists that can be used for justifying staffing requests, recruiting, training, project planning, and executive briefings.

The True Drivers of MDM
Darren Peirce, CTO, Kalido


Your business teams have both the knowledge and most timely opportunity to create or update master data used in key business processes. Yet until recently, many organizations and software vendors have focused on deploying back-end, IT-driven data synchronization hubs to align operational system data. This approach perpetuates the notion that IT owns the data management problem. This session will focus on how some organizations have driven toward a better solution – providing the true knowledge experts with easy tools and efficient processes to enable them to take a lead role in managing your most strategic data assets.

This session will explore:

  • Best practices in amplifying the business ownership of the data
  • Emerging trends for the future of business-owned master data
  • The role of MDM technology and processes in driving the point of action to the business rather than IT

Experts Panel: Best Practices in MDM of Product Master Data

Jacob du Toit, BBC Worldwide

Anton Langeler, O'Neill

Enterprises continue to expand the scope and discover new complexities as they seek a "single view" of product data.  What starts out as an organization's master product data soon becomes a complex PIM (product information management) program spanning other domains and use cases (such as enterprise architecture, analytical MDM, and new product introduction (NPI) or product lifecycle management (PLM).  Additionally, many organizations are continue to struggle with how MDM of product data relates to ERP, CRM, data warehouse, and other master data initiatives. The end result is that MDM of product data quickly becomes more complex and challenging for even type “A” IT organizations.  This panel of experts has already navigated these certain of these journeys and will share their experience in:
  • Rationalizing between PIM-flavoured MDM or MDM-flavoured PIM
  • Preparing for web-specific content, digital assets and records management as MDM converges across governance of product customer and location data
  • Evolving from MDM of product data to multi-domain MDM

From Master Data Maintenance to Information Governance
Rolf Emmens, Manager – MDM, KPN Corporate Market bv
Ron van Kints, Senior Director - IT Demand Finance & Global MDM, KPN Corporate Market bv
KPN is the leading provider of Telecommunications and IT services in the Netherlands, serving customers with wired and wireless telephony, internet and television. KPN Corporate Market (formerly Getronics) is a part of KPN and provides global ICT services and is a market leader in Benelux in the field of infrastructure and network-related IT solutions.  In the business model of KPN Corporate Market where margins are under pressure (IT, commodity, cloud, economy), master data is well known to be a prerequisite for effective data in business operations (transactional data) and therefore a prerequisite for reporting and information-based decision making – we have to know and we have to have efficient operations. Information used for decision making and/or to direct, guide or manage the company will therefore impact both Data Governance as master data maintenance (the relationship works both ways).  High quality (master) data, however, on its own does not have any value if it isn’t processed adequately – from master data to transactional data and from transactional data to reporting; both on an ad-hoc and on a repetitive basis. “Proactive MDM” (characterized by faultless, efficient, consistent, inline with operations and reporting requirements) is the foundation for “Managerial MDM” (ensuring effective use of master data to support managerial processes). Clearly, MDM and Data Governance should be organized to at least represent the demand function from a company’s (financial) management perspective. 

This case study session will put MDM and Data Governance into the context of managerial decision making by discussing these timely topics:

  • Creating the plan to evolve towards “Proactive MDM” (MDM project 2010)
  • Planning for “Managerial MDM” and Data Governance (2011)
  • Identifying the longer term (2011+) business benefits

Golden Nominal – Creating a Single Record View
Corinne Brazier, Force Records Manager, West Midlands Police
Many organisations have multiple legacy or silo systems that mean information about the same individuals could be recorded in various different systems. Using their Data Warehouse, West Midlands Police have aggregated this information into one 'Golden Record' through their viewing system that displays information from their data warehouse. Due to different information recording practices and numerous data quality issues, West Midlands Police have been able to highlight many additional records within Golden Records that users would not have been able to find in any other way. This presentation talks about the background to the issues, some of the problems that have been experienced, how the Golden Record was set up using DataFlux technology and some of the success that has been achieved.

Avoiding the MDM & MDG ‘Money Pit’
Aaron Zornes, Founder & Chief Research Officer, The MDM Institute

Given the substantial investment that enterprises undertake with SI partners, the selection of the appropriate partner(s) must be given considerable scrutiny - not only to contain costs, but to insure success of these vital corporate MDM and MDG initiatives.  Implementation partners such as systems integrators and specialist consultancies are more important than ever – not just because of the services : software ratio for such projects (universally ascribed as  approaching 4:1) but precisely because of an ongoing severe shortage of experienced MDM  and MDG professionals.  In a recent MDM Institute survey of more than 275 such programs, systems integrators (SIs) have been seen as essential to the success of the majority of MDM and MDG projects, yet previously incumbent SIs are becoming less dominant.  Expert assistance from SIs will remain especially critical and problematic to the success of MDM programs during 2012-13 as organisations deal with a shortage of tools, experience, and tool expertise.

This session includes findings from a year-long readiness assessment of more than 75 leading consultancies to provide a balanced view of:

  • Understanding why SIs are essential to the success of your MDM and MDG projects
  • Structuring how an enterprise should evaluate the capabilities of "new" potential SI partners
  • Orienteering the SI landscape for both the traditional leaders as well as the new "dark horses"

Leveraging an Enterprise Data Warehouse Project to Deliver Enterprise MDM
Phil May, Head of Management Information, Royal Mail
Duncan Slater, Manager, Accenture Information Management Services, Accenture
In June 2010, Royal Mail embarked on a supply chain Enterprise Data Warehouse project with the first release of the reporting solution launched to 150 analysts and 1000 business users in April 2011.  In the same month, the MDM governance solution was released which enabled “Location” master data, integral to the success of the data warehouse, to be managed via an automated best practice business process.   MDM was delivered using an agile methodology in three releases, each focused on a specific functionality in order to manage the master data in a holistic way.  The first release covered data definitions, bringing all the data together in one place, the second added data governance workflows, the last release added the ability to connect with additional source systems as well as "intelligent matching" capabilities.  Insights which delegates will take away from this session include:
  • Justifying and delivering the foundation for Enterprise MDM as part of a Enterprise Data Warehouse implementation
  • Blending technology and people-centric processes via workflow to enable data governance
  • Integrating Enterprise MDM as part of an overall technology transformation programme

MDM for Customer Centricity
Ian Lottering, MDM Practice Leader, Consology
Mobile phone networks dominate Africa's telecommunications markets, providing around 90% of all subscriber connections. The subscriber base is still growing at around 30% per year across the continent. Oracle’s Universal Customer Master (UCM) is providing the foundation for one of Africa’s largest Telcos to move towards customer centricity with the key driver being a Unified View of customers to enable better customer segmentation and differentiation to combat churn and increase ARPU (average revenue per user). Due to the federated nature of customer information across multiple business units and legacy systems, cohesion must exist not just on a technology level, but also within the larger enterprise information organization. Without this cohesion and harmonisation provided by MDM, enterprise information architecture processes will fail to identify the entities, and benefits, in mastering. This session will provide highlights of this multi-year program by discussing lessons learnt in:
  • Incorporating an MDM strategy in context of the larger Enterprise Data Governance programme,
  • Leveraging the benefits of applying an industry-specific framework/model to map business processes and models to integrate legacy system
  • Integrating a Customer Master and CRM using commercial off the shelf (COTS) processes to facilitate and expedite deployment.

The data generated within the Research and Development function can vary from the high volume early screening data, to complex manufacturing methods or multinational clinical trial data.  We are a regulated industry and therefore our data is of good quality for the purpose for which it was collected.   Our challenge is to connect up the data across the organisation to generate even more value from it.  This presentation will focus on the data stewardship communities and accountabilities that we have been building within our business community to support this. We will

  • Present some of the stewardship models that we have developed and talk about how these have been pragmatically developed to work with our existing business models
  • Talk about some of the challenges of working within an organisation that constantly evolves
  • Talk about some of the challenges of working within an industry where the business model is changing

Geert Van Grootel, Senior Researcher, Flemish Government
Jan Henderyckx, Managing Partner, Envizion
In order to manage the business semantics we are dealing with both internal and external references.

  • Distinguishing the meaning, the instantiation and the representation
  • The 3-types of ownership: non-influenceable, influenceable and fully owner
  • The governance workflow and roles

Laying A Foundation for Enterprise MDM
Andrew Schulze, Global Data Architect, Royal Dutch Shell
Duncan Slater, Manager, Accenture Information Management Services, Accenture

The Shell Group is in the process of deploying an Enterprise MDM Service. The intention is, over time, to consolidate differing master Reference Data Management (RDM) practices and tools in the various Shell business units across the globe.  Shell began this journey in January 2010 via a steering committee of architects and business representatives from the major business groups that met weekly to discuss the business requirements for MDM at Shell.  Given the enterprise scope of this endeavour, a team of on and off-shore resources rigorously tested the full range of MDM functionality of the short listed MDM products (SAP MDM and Microsoft Master Data Services) as well as the ability to integrate with Shell’s standard tools for workflow, data quality, messaging, web services and data integration.  Delegates will take away from this session key lessons learned such as:
  • Managing an MDM ‘Proof of Concept’ to create the foundation of MDM both for business intelligence and to authorize master data back into source systems
  • Leveraging Cloud-based services to fast track the evaluation of MDM tools
  • Deploying an Enterprise MDM Service via “deploy by project, but build for the enterprise” methodology

MDM in a Complex Environment
Christoph Balduck, Service Area Manager MDM & DQ, Volvo IT
Volvo IT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AB Volvo providing IT services via its 5,000+ employees.  A selection of Volvo IT's customers includes the Volvo Group, the Ford-owned Volvo Car Corporation, other global industrial companies, and the City of Stockholm.  This case study will provide insights into both MDM best practices, as well as “master data as a service”.  In addition to discussing how to sell an MDM project, this session will also show how to evolve from customer MDM to multi-domain MDM (including tool selection).  Last but not least the presentation will highlight the use of master data in a complex organization where master data inheritance and hierarchical MDM plays a major role.  This session will provide insights into delivering MDM in a complex environment by discussing:
  • Planning for “master data as a service” in a global enterprise
  • Managing the evaluation of MDM tool choices (when and how to)
  • Understanding and leveraging the role of MDM inheritance on different levels within your organization

Data Governance & Reference Data Management for the Large Enterprise
Tron Erik Jønmyr, Head of BI Architecture and Design, DNB ASA
Morten Ilaug, Managing Consultant, Capgemini
DNB ASA (formerly DnB NOR ASA) is Norway's largest financial services group with total combined assets of NOK 2076 billion. It is also one of the world's foremost shipping banks and a major international player in the energy sector.  In 2011, DNB initiated a program that will help the bank move from a silo-driven business and IT organization to becoming “ONE – Group” and "One IT". The reference data management program has focused on establishing an enterprise master for classifications and necessary data governance routines. The solution is based on IBM’s new asset "RDM - Reference Data Management", which has been developed in close collaboration between IBM and DNB.  This presentation will describe the challenges dealing with poor data quality from a silo-based organization and also discuss how DNB has been able to get synergies across the organization by creating a master for classifications. In addition to lessons learned from the project and how the program will develop in the future, topics to be discussed include:
  • Understanding the role of Data Governance in relation to Reference Data Management by planning for governance, process, security, and audit control
  • Implementing a common unified understanding of classifications across the enterprise to manage the complex mappings between different reference data representations
  • Managing project organization and associated new RDM processes

Practical Ways to Measure and Report Return-on-Investment for Your Governance Activities
Pablo Riboldi, Solution Manager Information Governance & Quality, LDS Church
One of the challenges all Information Governance programs face is to demonstrate their business value. Whether you are in a for-profit, non-profit, or governmental organization; whether you are just starting or are well-established sooner or later questions will be raised about the value proposition of Information Governance to your organization. We know that we need to show some sort of ROI. But how do we do this?

This presentation is designed to teach you practical ways to calculate your program’s ROI considering issues such as:

  • The difference between tangible and intangible benefits.
  • How do you estimate the value of soft benefits?
  • How do you support and present your estimates?
  • How do you exactly calculate the darn thing anyway?

Come ready to ask your questions and learn.
