A Simplified Approach to Data Management and Organizational Data Maturity

Can you explain to business executives and non-IT decision makers the functions of your applications, methodologies, and processes without having their eyes glaze over? What about the importance of Data Management and where it fits within the context of your organization? If not, this presentation provides a simple, non-technical way for anyone to understand and explain the role and functions of good data management as it pertains to your entire organization. Once completed, you will also be able to contextually show where bottlenecks and challenges may be appearing in your organization, where common mistakes are made, and how simplifying your processes maybe the best way to handle your data.

All this, using a technology that has been around since the 1800s, that practically everyone has had firsthand experience with, and that can be applied to any business, no matter what the industry.
