Data quality has traditionally been focused on the profiling and cleansing of single data sources. But in the wake of new regulations requiring the discovery and documentation of data lineage BETWEEN systems, as well as existing requirements for business integrity and customer satisfaction, a new methodology and technology for discovering and measuring the quality of critical data elements has arisen -- data relationship management. Alex Gorelik will describe the new methods for data relationship management, and discuss the following case studies:

1. A major credit card company tracking data lineage across 1700 systems
2. An asset management firm eliminating costly errors due to data inconsistency
3. A F500 company consolidating 50 databases into one product master
4. A top US insurer identifying, masking and certifying all HIPAA PHI data

Alex Gorelik founded Exeros in 2002 to solve a 40-year-old IT problem -- manual data mapping -- he discovered during several consulting jobs with F100 companies. From 1995 to 2000, Alex was co-founder and CTO of Acta Technology (acquired by Business Objects in 2002). Alex also managed development of the Sybase Replication Server and worked on Sybase's EAI strategy.
