IBM Presents “Understanding and
Applying Strategies for Data Governance”
Given the complex mixture of
government and industry regulations, business drivers, convergence of
technologies and the general advance of databases from version to version, Data
Governance has become an important topic for organizations at all levels.
The purpose of this event is
to provide you with information regarding some of the key areas of concern and
best practices to help address them. Whether you are working on an existing
project or looking to justify a new and/or overdue project, these educational
sessions have been designed to help you. While the discussions will cover
technical topics, business users will benefit from them as well.
Agenda
8:30 – 9:00 am Check-in
and Continental Breakfast
9:00 -- 9:15 am Introduction
and Welcome
9:15 - 10:15am The Rise of e-Discovery
Recent updates to the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) have placed an increased burden on IT
organizations to produce data as part of a civil or criminal “e-discovery”
request. If your company received an e-discovery
request today, would your IT organization have the capability to retrieve the
appropriate information and supporting evidence to comply? Would you be able to
meet the timeframes dictated by law and civil procedure? With the rise of the
“new data center” and “paperless” application environments, most corporate data
is managed electronically. Improving the way you manage information and being
prepared for e-discovery simply makes good business sense.
10:15 – 10:30 am Break
10:30 – 11:30 am The ROI of Database Archiving
Database archiving is a best
practice endorsed by industry leaders and analysts which can help organizations
to improve performance of their key databases and environments, while also
mitigating risks and allowing them to more effectively control costs. But the benefits don’t stop there. Join us as we explore case studies of how
sites across industries have deployed archiving strategies to support
compliance and discovery initiatives, decommission obsolete applications, leverage
cost effective tiered storage and speed application upgrades – just to name a
few. Most importantly, learn how
database archiving joins with your organizational goals of maximizing business
value of your current IT infrastructure.
11:30 – 12:30 pm Lunch (optional
demos available 12:00pm-12:30pm)
12:30 -- 1:00 pm Data Privacy Primer
News segments from
Dispatches (UK) and 60 Minutes (US) that highlight the latest issues around
data theft
1:00 - 2:00 pm Data Privacy – Closing
the Gap
Privacy breaches are making
headlines, as organizations scramble to protect the confidentiality of their
critical customer and business data. While companies are making great strides
in protecting data privacy in production application environments, the idea of
implementing similar strategies in their testing environments is often
overlooked. This “Privacy Gap” needs to
be addressed immediately, because it often represents the most exploited area
of an organization’s IT infrastructure. Taking a proactive strategy to remove
this vulnerability within your enterprise is recognized as a best practice and
will help your organization with compliance with many national, international,
and industry-specific regulations, while at the same time protecting your
company from being the next “Privacy Breach Headline”
2:00 - 2:15 pm Break
2:15 – 3:15 pm Improve Test Data Management Efficiencies
The application development cycle requires significant amounts of time and
resources in order to effectively launch new and/or improve applications. When testing with structured data, many times
a full clone of a production database is made for testing purposes, while a
relationally intact “right-size” subset will give users the necessary data
required for testing instead. Join us
for a step by step demonstration that explores how a relationally intact subset
can be created from your production environment as well as how that subset can
be inserted into a previously created database or one that is new. See how forced errors can be used to test the
quality of the application, and then compared against data not yet tested.
3:15 – 3:30 pm Wrap-up and Farewell
