AM5: World-Class Metadata Management: Full Life-Cycle Roadmap

Effective metadata management is no longer an option, but an absolute requirement for corporations and government agencies looking to enable their master data management and data governance initiatives. Companies have realized that without metadata their IT departments cannot manage their systems and their systems are not providing true value to the business end user. Organizations are implementing managed metadata environments (MME) to provide them an enterprise metadata management solution.

This practical course leverages the lessons learned from companies that have successfully deployed MMEs. The case studies demonstrate the importance of having a methodology for defining metadata requirements, capturing and integrating metadata, MME architectural components, how to calculate ROI, advanced metadata architectures and case studies.
