Data is the foundation of any organization and therefore, it is paramount that it is managed and maintained as a valuable resource. 

Subscribe to this channel to learn best practices and emerging trends in a variety of topics including data governance, analysis, quality management, warehousing, business intelligence, ERP, CRM, big data and more.

Data lineage and knowledge graphs are data management capabilities that many companies would like to or have implemented. These capabilities assist in getting value from data and sustaining competitive advantage. However, several challenges with the implementation of these capabilities exist:
- Data management professionals have different views on these capabilities. Their definitions are not aligned within the data management community. These capabilities have a lot in common.
- The implementation of these capabilities is time- and resource-consuming. The correctly defined scope is one of the implementation success factors.
- Many companies still document data lineage and knowledge graphs manually in Excel.
- Plenty of various automated solutions exist. However, finding a proper solution is problematic as providers don’t have an aligned terminology to describe functionality. Often, quite differently labeled solutions deliver similar functionality.

In this session, we will discuss how to solve challenges and:
1. Demonstrate a metamodel of data lineage and knowledge graphs.
2. Show differences and similarities of these capabilities in terms of business drivers, architecture, and use cases.
3. Provide an overview and comparison of various data lineage and knowledge graphs IT tools.

Using AIOps to scale and control costs of enterprise data

What is AIOps and why should we use it?  When is it appropriate to use AIOps and how do we implement it? AIOps may be viewed as the application of machine learning analytics- platforms that utilize big data, modern machine learning and other advanced analytics technologies to enhance IT operations. These platforms allow concurrent use of multiple data from varied data sources, providing proactive, personal and dynamic insight. Using and implementing AIOps requires an understanding of the fundamental essence of what AIOps can do in real time. 

This presentation covers the core components of AIOps, specific use cases of when to use it, and how you can implement AIOps.  

The first section covers key components of AIOps, the “what” question.  It includes:  
1. Engaging-historical analysis, anamoly detection, performance analysis, predictive insights, correlation and contextualization
2. Automating-automated root cause analysis, optimization suggestions, and task automation
3. Monitoring-historical data, real-time data, and decision-making insights 

The second section covers “why” and “when” to deploy AIOps. 

AIOps use cases presented in this session cover three core outcomes intrinsic to IT operations:
1. Leveraging AIOps capabilities to detect, diagnose, and resolve incidents faster with a clear outcome to decrease mean time to recovery (MTTR)
2. Proactive performance monitoring, preventing problems with actionable alerts that identify anamolies with a clear outcome to improve operational efficiencies and overall health of the business.
3. Surface insights to drive better and faster decision making, using machine learning technologies.

What is AIOps: Why, When to use and implement AIOps

An unspoken requirement has emerged calling for IT staff to conduct data management in a non-intrusive manner. Skipping risk mitigation to avoid interfering with employee productivity is a trade-off that will hurt an organization. 

Automating and orchestrating data protection activities is critical for resilient and sustainable operations. Companies must be in a good position to "dust themselves off" as quickly as possible after an outage like a corrupt database, data pattern change due to new normal, missing data or malfunctioning sensor, and become operational with minimal disruption of service.

Tune into this talk, where Dr. Pragyansmita Nayak of Hitachi Vantara Federal will focus on five best practices to better manage your data protection strategy:
- Automation of data characterization like summary statistics and metadata management.
- Explore knowledge graphs to determine strengths and gaps in the business glossary.
- Use of lineage to understand the changing nature of data from origin through transformations.
- Track the data shift and its patterns that impact reports, dashboards, ML models and more.
- Review metrics that minimize false alarms and timely trigger deeper analysis.

Managing data protection: If you can't measure it, you can't manage it

Data quality is a difficult concept to quantify while still being vital enough to sabotage any project, strategic initiative, or even an entire business. What's going on with the quality of your data? Is the data well-suited for all of its uses? Is your data everywhere  – in operational databases, data warehouses, data lakes, master data management, etc.?
 
Information management expert William McKnight will go over 23 lessons he’s learned about data quality, frequently the hard way, in this presentation. Any problem with data quality, and quite possibly with data, that you may be experiencing is likely the result of someone failing to take one of these lessons to heart. Focusing on one or more of these could be the key to achieving understanding between parties and, ultimately, finding a solution to your data quality, and consequently data, problems. 
 
In this presentation, you’ll discover up to 23 facts about data quality as well as fixes for the issues that the absence of data quality causes.

Fit-for-purpose data is the key driver of positive business outcomes. The path forward focuses on transforming an organization into a data-driven organization by culturally treating data as a strategic asset managed through a holistic and trusted data program. 

The overall complexity of large organizations is naturally reflected in the complexity of their data landscapes. A holistic and trusted data program, implemented at scale, is the right (and only) solution to leverage full data potential and provide fit-for-purpose data to cross-business and cross-functional data consumers.

Join Bojan Ciric from Deloitte Consulting to dig into an FSI example focused on enabling a holistic and trusted data program. Furthermore, this use-case will include common success factors and challenges that organizations face on the transformative journey to data-driven organizations. Lastly, you will see how organizations can leverage concepts like data product, data contract, data culture and data literacy within ongoing data program modernization efforts to align with emerging data architecture approaches (data mesh, data fabric).

Enabling holistic data programs to drive positive business outcomes

Improving data management demands strong data governance practices. Occasionally, data governance and data management are used interchangeably, in multiple industry reference guides, sources, and in different contexts. 

This webinar focuses on critical components of improving the management of data from a data governance point of view, detailing meaning and relationships with each other. 

Key topics that will be covered include:
1. Foundational building blocks of data governance and data management.
2. Content of building blocks.
3. The role of IT in data management and data governance. 
4. Conducting data risk analysis.
5. How to build an operational roadmap. 
6. Data governance metrics. 
7. Embedding continuous quality improvement.

Improving data management from a data governance lens

Data architecture-as-a-service or DAaaS is a new self-service paradigm that is ideal for data meshes. It empowers local data owners to create architecturally compliant data repositories, domains, and pipelines without IT assistance. It is the culmination of self-service, where business units liberate themselves almost entirely from enterprise IT. If done right, DaaS eliminates data silos, reduces data bottlenecks, eases the burden on enterprise data teams, and empowers local domains to service their own data needs. It’s also a key ingredient in the data mesh, an emerging distributed architecture for data ownership and management. 
 
Data architecture-as-a-service is a verbal twist on cloud processing environments, such as software-as-a-service or platform-as-a-service. This moniker conveys that it’s possible to abstract architecture and build it into easy-to-use, customer-facing tools. When we abstract data architecture, we solve the most enduring data pain point in the data world: the proliferation of data silos and pipelines that wreak havoc on data consistency and trustworthiness.
 
You will learn:  
• What DAaaS is
• Why DAaaS is critical for governed self-service
• How DAaaS prevents data silos and empowers data domains

AI and Machine Learning in Data Engineering

Enterprises increasingly deploy machine learning models to analyze corporate data that informs vital business issues. Identifying and gathering high quality data to develop these models is hugely challenging, however, as some information is protected by regulatory or proprietary reasons. Quality data collection is also expensive and time-consuming, leaving huge gaps in AI and machine learning model development. The development of synthetic data and explainable AI is helping fill these gaps by helping train machine learning models or develop new algorithms with insights that are readily available for data scientists.

In this fireside chat with machine learning scientist Vincent Granville, he'll discuss:
o Synthetic data design techniques, and how to identify business processes where most useful;
o How to test the quality of synthetic data;
o The benefits, and potential detriments, of explainable AI;
o Common modern enterprise data issues, such as managing unbalanced, inconsistent, small, outdated, and unstructured data;
o Ways to address data leakage, as well as small, wide and unobserved data;
o How synthetic data, explainable AI and other modern technologies are used to overcome these issues.
