Level:  Introductory


This session will focus on how Wiley a Global Publishing company conducted a Data Quality initiative and used it as a foundational building block for implementing a business value added Data Governance program from the ground up to govern product data across the enterprise. Attendees will learn about how we turned product data quality challenges into an opportunity to launch product data governance and centralize product set up & maintenance operations across the enterprise, and how they can apply our lessons learned to their own organizations. They will learn how to leverage a Company’s strategic initiatives like an ERP implementation and Product Lifecyle Management to develop a business case for a sustainable Data Governance & Data Quality program. Finally they will learn how Wiley operationalized Data Governance & Stewardship by alleviating data pain points by formalizing data issue management.
