How can enterprises build a “house of data” to drive self-service analytics that delivers business results? What materials should they call upon? For many, it is a hodgepodge of different tools, data silos, and varying sources of truth, with no firm foundation. 

In this session, Dr. James Barker will discuss how a data intelligence platform provides a strong foundation for both self-service analytics and data governance.  With it, you can provide trusted, well-governed data to the right people, at the right time, to make the right decisions.

Learn how to leverage a data intelligence platform to build a strong foundation for your house of data.

This session will cover topics such as:

• The main building blocks of a solid data program, including glossaries, collaboration, analytics, and the role of policies and policy management in data governance.

• The importance of bringing together data management, data governance, and data quality for data governance.

• The application of a data intelligence platform for data security, privacy, DataOps, and data enablement
