A 21st Century Approach—Enterprise Content in the Cloud

Are you over-provisioning server capacity, experiencing unplanned capital expenditures or just lacking the necessary capacity planning information to help you make critical decisions? If you answered “YES!”, you are not alone. In a recent independent study conducted by Enterprise Systems Media, more than 50% of respondents acknowledged that they do not have a single, consistent multi-platform solution that provides information to managers, internal buyers, or end-users about performance and capacity across their enterprise. Additionally, close to 30% responded that they did not know if this capability even exists within their organizations.

Watch this webinar featuring Enterprise Systems Media’s Denny Yost and ASG’s Gary Henderson to learn how your organization compares.

During this presentation, the results of the survey will be reviewed and you’ll discover strategies for tackling challenges in enterprise capacity planning such as:
-Accurate Tracking

The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rule looms in May 2018, but only a third of companies are on track to be compliant by the due date. GDPR is the most significant change in data privacy regulation in more than 20 years. It represents an extraordinary shift in the way businesses will be expected to operate when they gather, process, maintain, and protect customer data. Any organization that retains information of EU citizens must be in compliance or face huge fines of up to 4% of worldwide turnover.

In this webinar series you will hear from industry experts facing the same challenges you face and find out how they're meeting and surpassing critical implementation check points, and you will learn what actions other organizations are taking in preparation for data protection – not only for GDPR, but for long-term data protection.

In 2016, IBM announced their partnership with UNICOM for future development of Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD). While IBM maintains that nothing has changed from a business perspective, they have significantly reduced the CMOD sales team and are no longer handling support. Therefore, it appears that the future of CMOD is uncertain. If you are a current or prospective customer of CMOD, there are three things to consider when analyzing a product that has recently been sold to another corporation.

- Can the new provider deliver the support you need to be successful with a product they didn’t build?

- Are they truly committed to the product’s features?

- Are they trying to lock you into a proprietary cloud service?

During this webinar, we will discuss the challenges of maintaining the CMOD platform and offer an alternative solution: Mobius by ASG Technologies. Zia and ASG have experience in the intricacies of a CMOD rollout and customization as well as in the planning and execution of migrating from a mainframe (or other legacy) repository to Mobius—on-premises or in the cloud.

Congratulations you’ve made it past the GDPR compliance May 25th, 2018 deadline. But getting to this point has needed many workarounds and been expensive. The question: How do we identify and move beyond workarounds to being able to industrialize and automate governance and compliance to keep data trusted, secured, and governed and GDPR compliant?

The next step in your GDPR compliance journey will be making GDPR compliance as natural part of “business as usual” — keeping you agile so when things change and, new reasons for using personal data or, new business opportunities arise your organization can accommodate them without excessive effort.

In building your GDPR compliance environment you’ve gone a long way towards documenting your information supply chain and how its driving your business. Join us as we welcome Ronald Jonker from KPMG and Ian Rowlands from ASG Technologies to dive into the details on how organizations are changing the GDPR narrative to drive opportunities and demand. They’ll share:

- How organizations are maximizing the value of data lineage
- How technical solutions can provide concrete support for compliance with imprecise regulations
- How customers are turning GDPR compliance into a win for the business

This webinar will be hosted by the respected, award-winning journalist Mike Simons.

Managing data for value is a business-oriented focus on the potential of data. It complements the all-too-common obsession with data’s technical requirements. Data value recognizes that data is a valuable business asset and should be leveraged accordingly. If you are managing data for value, your asset portfolio of data should be protected, grown, and governed.

Data’s value should be documented and quantified centrally to provide data intelligence for both business and technical users who work with data. Data intelligence is a combination of data and metadata, plus additional information and functionality, such as lineage tracking, quality metrics, data cataloging, glossaries, and machine learning for the automation of data management. Without data intelligence, the fullest value of data cannot be realized.

Data value, data compliance, and data intelligence have an indivisible relationship. This is critical, considering that the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become effective in May 2018. For example, data value provides strong fundamental skills and infrastructure for teams who must achieve data compliance. Furthermore, when data intelligence includes governance and sensitivity metrics, it can contribute significantly to achieving data compliance and proving such compliance in an audit.

In this TDWI webinar, we’ll consider data value and intelligence in the context of compliance. You will learn about:
- Definitions of data value and data intelligence
- The evolving data compliance landscape, especially the EU’s GDPR
- How data value and intelligence can impact data compliance efforts
- Six strategies for balancing compliance with data value

Accurately understanding where data originates and how it flows and changes through the enterprise is imperative for organizations to enable business users to securely collaborate with trusted data.
