Sanofi's MDM Journey with Semarchy: Enabling a Global Customer 360 Solution

In this webinar, Brown-Forman, a leading manufacturing company founded in 1850, will discuss its unique use case and how Semarchy thought outside of the box to help solve its challenges.

Brown-Forman had extensive third-party data where every data source had different definitions for thousands of products in different locations all over the world. (The organization had over 4,000 master records in the Jack Daniels cluster alone!) The data included Brown-Forman products, but also competitive ones as well. This led to siloed, incomplete, and inaccurate data, therefore BF was in need of migrating vast amounts of data into one single source of truth for better insights and competitive knowledge.

Hear from Mike Homer, Senior Manager of Master Data Management, as he discusses:

- Brown-Forman’s complex data ecosystem
- The challenges that led the company to Master Data Management
- The technical strategy that went beyond data matching rules
- How the project is helping Brown-Forman today and into the future

A Q&A session will be included.

The Role of Data Management in a Modern Data Ecosystem

From legacy infrastructures to public clouds, the average enterprise has data spread across different locations, file systems, databases, and applications – and the volume and sources of data continue to grow relentlessly. As a result, while most organizations want rapid access to meaningful, actionable information, effectively integrating and governing data is becoming more difficult.

At the same time, there are many exciting developments presenting new opportunities for companies on their journey to becoming more data-driven.

To highlight the key technologies and best practices for overcoming data integration and governance challenges, Semarchy joined DBTA in participating in a special roundtable webinar.

Conquering Data Integration and Governance in the Modern Enterprise

Many data leaders are asking what are data mesh and data fabric?

As businesses strive to advance digital transformation efforts, legacy architectures can be a significant obstacle to enabling the agility required to succeed in today’s ever-changing data landscape. Many enterprises struggle with scaling the delivery of data and analytics to accommodate the growing array of data domains, users, and use cases. 

As a result, data mesh and data fabric architectures are on the rise with the aim of abstracting data management complexity, increasing data availability, and fostering greater collaboration.

To help IT decision-makers and practitioners better understand these new concepts, how they work, and key solutions to keep in mind, Semarchy joined DBTA in participating in a special roundtable webinar.

The Rise of Data Mesh and Data Fabric Architectures

In this webinar, Bird Construction, a leading provider of construction services for over 100 years will discuss how Master Data Management made a huge impact on their business and internal processes.

With a need for rapid access to accurate data and the ability to scale, Bird ultimately chose Master Data Management as a strategic initiative. Watch as the Bird team walks attendees through:

- Its MDM implementation process and unique business case
- Selecting the right strategic MDM partner
- How to build engagement and create a “data culture” with internal teams

Client Story: How Bird Construction Created a Master Data Management Strategy

The private equity industry continues to grow rapidly with private equity funds gaining relatively strong returns since 2000. In 2021 alone, private equity buyouts totaled a record $1.1 trillion, doubling from 2020.

However, as private equity firms’ portfolios become larger and more complex, the amount of data an organization is managing becomes increasingly difficult, noncompliant, and disparate. A large number of companies depend on private equity firms and their ability to grow, scale, and financially secure organizations. Therefore, these firms need to continuously make the correct, strategic decisions that are best for them and their investments. 

So, how can private equity firms make informed decisions, stay secure, and reduce risks all while keeping costs low? The answer: Master Data Management. In this webinar, leading private equity firms KKR, Oaktree Capital Management, and General Atlantic sit down for a virtual roundtable panel to discuss the importance of prioritizing data within the industry. You will learn how these three companies:

- Developed a need for comprehensive data management
- Managed the complex nature of private equity firms and their data
- Implemented a Master Data Management strategy and solutions
- Acquired benefits of MDM and continued opportunities
- Learned lessons and advice

Whether you’re a business leader, data evangelist, or IT practitioner, this webinar will help jumpstart your Master Data Management strategy. You’ll learn how companies such as Semarchy and Tata Consultancy Services help private equity clients keep business value at the forefront through better data.

Industry Roundtable: Why Private Equity Needs Master Data Management

In an era where sustainability is no longer just a buzzword but a defining principle, manufacturers are faced with the critical task of aligning their operations with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. ESG represents a transformative framework that assesses the impact of a company’s sustainable and ethical practices on its financial performance and operations.

Manufacturers seeking access to capital should consider the following: investors who value ESG practices are growing in number and influence. Recently, Bloomberg reported a record $120 billion invested sustainably in 2021, while federal and state regulators increasingly require organizations to comply with stringent ESG-related targets – from carbon emissions to gender-equal pay.

Join us for an insightful webinar as we delve into the core elements of ESG and how they are revolutionizing the manufacturing industry, right from the heart of the process—the manufacturing conveyor belt. Our panelists will explore how faster and better data can lead to better decision-making for ESG initiatives. Top organizations are increasingly prioritizing ESG, but they should approach it from a data-driven mindset, ensuring a positive impact.

In partnership with renowned experts from the Manufacturing Alliance, we will explore the following key aspects of ESG:

- Environmental impact
- Embracing social responsibility
- Governance principles for transparency
- Tracking data governance and compliance
- Driving progress with ESG

By attending this webinar, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of ESG and its profound influence on the manufacturing industry, as we explore the very heart of manufacturing—the conveyor belt—and how it can symbolize our collective journey toward a sustainable and responsible future.

DATAVERSITY Demo Days: Master Data Management Tools

Despite ongoing investment in cloud platforms and analytics tools, many companies are still struggling with truly unlocking the business value of all their data. While the ways that users want and need to work with data continue to evolve, the increasing complexity of data and analytics systems and the proliferation of data silos often pose significant hurdles. 

This is especially true when data is managed across a patchwork of legacy systems and new technologies adopted tactically without full consideration of broader data management imperatives and future needs. Ultimately, organizations want to empower their users with fast, easy access to actionable, reliable information and insights.

To examine next-generation platforms and architectures, along with key issues such as integration, governance, and security, Semarchy joined DBTA for an in-depth roundtable webinar.
