In the gallery of business functions, no picture is more brightly drawn than information management. As executives embrace the idea of data as an asset, more of them are agreeing to invest in the tools, skills, and organizational enablers necessary to deploy it to the enterprise. This is a good news/bad news proposition: Yes, managers are getting it, but expectations are higher than ever. In this keynote session, author and consultant Jill Dyche looks at the 5 biggest trends in data management-courtesy of the early adopter companies that have made big changes to their information infrastructures and reaped the rewards-and discusses how corporate strategies are driving sweeping changes to data gathering, quality, integration, and propagation. Jill will tie in tactical ways for data management professionals to start leveraging their skills, business acumen, experience, and technology resources to claim a bigger piece of the information pie.
