The world is changing fast and access to trustworthy business information isn’t keeping up. Faced with new business initiatives: regulatory & compliance requirements; radically expanding marketing strategies; mergers & acquisitions and growing customer relationship expectations, is the trusted information that we need available? Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is a combination of strategy, practices, and technologies for delivering trusted, integrated, and timely information. In this presentation, we will talk about two facets of EIM, Data Quality and how it relates to Master Data and Data Governance.

The presentation will include:
• How to create a roadmap to success based on the current state of an EIM strategy and an evolutionary plan to grow your organization and capabilities
• An organizational approach to data governance and data stewardship
• Recommendations on how to measure and track the success of an EIM strategy
