Yet more and more organizations are moving their data to the public cloud, and they’re learning that it’s critical to do this in a way that is a ‘win-win’ for IT and the business.

How to Govern Your Data Cloud & Reap the Benefits

Managing data governance in a single organization is challenging enough, but expanding a system for data uniformity, control, and auditability across more than two dozen independent agencies is a massive undertaking. Luckily for the State of Tennessee, their new chief data officer came equipped with a tried-and-true data governance framework which leveraged a data catalog to bring organization, standardization, and control to their statewide data system in less than six months.  Join Kim Wienzierl, Chief Data Officer for the State of Tennessee, and Amber O’Connell, the State’s Director of Data Governance, to learn how the Alation data catalog helped quickly instill uniformity, auditability, and governance into a system that cost too much in time, effort, and budget as various agencies shared and consumed data. They’ll explain this easy to implement, data governance framework, and pinpoint how Alation empowers the State to bring much-needed data fluency to their statewide data.   During this webinar, you’ll learn how the State of Tennessee is using a data catalog to:  • Connect governance policies and templates to specific data sources while empowering agencies to quickly and easily comply with compliance audit requests. • Offer data fluency to more than 25 statewide agencies, empowering users to easily find and access data through improved data visibility, availability, and accessibility across a wide range of data sources.   • Reduce reliance on institutional knowledge by documenting processes to improve the scope, scale, and quality of resulting data insights. • Reduce the prolonged and unsustainable cycle times for data discovery, cleaning, and analysis. Lay the groundwork for prioritizing time and resources for future data quality initiatives.

Alation Cloud Service - Faster Delivery of Data Intelligence Innovation

The COVID-19 pandemic has made moving to the cloud an imperative for many organizations and their digital transformation efforts. The need to reduce latencies in gaining access to data for analysis has been a huge driver in a year of massive, rapid change. As we look ahead to a post-pandemic world, the cloud is more appealing than ever for data storage and analysis. It promises to make all the data that’s needed for analytics available to everyone who needs it while offering cost savings and performance boons. However, moving to the cloud brings challenges.   Making things simpler for our business communities often means making things more challenging on the IT backend. The more complexity in the technical infrastructure, the more difficulty for the people supporting that infrastructure. For those managing a move to the cloud, it is important to remember that this is a journey, one that is comprised of multiple initiatives, not a single project.   If you are responsible for your company’s migration to the cloud, this webinar is for you.
