Level:  Business / Non-Technical


Learn insider tips and tricks to manage Third-party data providers and how to explain the strategic value of pre-mastered content investments to your business stakeholders.

Master data is core to MDM but managing and maintaining the content can be a thankless endeavor and hardly ever seems aligned to your company strategy.  More and more enterprises are looking for new ways to use “pre-mastered” content that is clean, structured, dependable, and well-governed by external 3rd-party sources. But what do you need to know about dealing with these data providers? And how do you explain the strategic value of this investment to your CEO?

In this workshop you will learn and review:

  •    MUST USE criteria to evaluate potential data suppliers
  •    The things your data provider never wants you to ask!
  •    What role can standards can play? (there are so many to choose from!)
  •   The state of syndicated taxonomies – use them if you can find them
  •    Mapping Third-party data funding to C-Level strategic urgency
