DataFlux President and CEO Tony Fisher to Present Keynote Address at MDM Summit Spring

Release date: 3/28/2008

Fisher to discuss effective MDM planning and deployment strategies during second-day keynote.

WHAT:
“KEYNOTE: MDM: Stop ‘Kicking the Tires’ and Start Your Master Data Engine”

Tony Fisher, president and CEO of DataFlux, will discuss best practices for deploying master data management (MDM) solutions along with evaluating common concerns and challenges in planning and implementation. While companies have invested significant time and resources in studying MDM, many have found themselves struggling to determine which of the myriad theories and implementation styles they should incorporate. This leads to unnecessary delays in deployment or, in some cases, a failure to get off the ground.

Fisher will provide solutions to help organizations move beyond the hype of MDM and start building a unified view of the enterprise. He will focus specifically on:

• Why an effective data governance program is considered the “must have” component of MDM
• How an effective pairing of governance methodologies and technologies can speed the adoption of MDM across the enterprise
• What companies can do – today – to begin realizing the benefits of an MDM program
