WA1868 Master Data Management (MDM) Bootcamp Training and Courseware (Coming Soon)

Enterprises are increasingly recognizing the importance of having a consistent, accurate, authoritative view of their core data sets.  This has led to a significant increase in the adoption of Master Data Management (MDM).  MDM encompasses data architecture, data modeling, governance processes and data quality policies, data stewardship responsibilities, and alignment between data architecture and business architecture.

This four-day bootcamp provides a deep-dive into Master Data Management (MDM), its core architecture and design activities, as well as strategies and best practices for successful adoption.  Lecture content is re-enforced through discussion, group exercises, and hands-on labs designed to build the practical skills necessary to identify, model, and develop the architecture for an MDM initiative.

Topics
 
  • MDM Fundamentals
  • MDM Value Proposition
  • Real World Case Studies
  • Risks Associated with MDM
  • MDM Infrastructure and Tools
  • Metadata Management
  • Identifying Master Data
  • Modeling Master Data
  • Persisting Master Data
  • MDM Patterns and Anti-Patterns
  • Governing MDM
