Abstract

Implementing a formal Data management function in a company is always a challenge. It requires principles, policies, good practices, and good data governance. Data management may not always be perceived as high in business value. 

An essential component of data management resides in structured processes and the meta-data that these processes generate.  IT projects may not always be willing to spend resources on this type of work. 

Alba Salazar will discuss an approach based on her experience working in a data provisioning service for Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.
