Data Ownership and Enterprise Data Management: Leveraging Technology to Get Control of Your Data (Part 2) 2007-01-23 01:00:26 SAS Institute

Technologies needed to support enterprise data management are consolidating into a suite of tools that share metadata. These tools are now being extended to support data discovery, data profiling, data cleansing, data integration and data monitoring. In particular, these technologies need to support metadata management as well as data management. Finally, tools in an Enterprise Data Management (EDM) suite also need to be capable of integrating with infrastructure software such as message brokers, portals, business process management, enterprise services buses and other data integration products that may already exist in the enterprise.

Semantics, Metadata and Identifying Master Data 2007-01-23 01:00:26 SAS Institute

One of the most challenging aspects of a Master Data Management (MDM) is defining what constitutes "Master data." Master data may be found across the application environment, but it's up to the business analyst or data steward to determine which data to include in the final repository. This white paper helps the reader to learn the keys to locating and understanding relationships between data elements. The paper discusses methods to leverage metadata in the MDM initiative - and how a semantic approach can yield better results throughout the program.

Live Webcast: How to Avoid Virtualization Gotchas 2006-11-11 01:00:15 Acronis

Server virtualization is hot, and for good reason. Virtualization enables computers to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same physical server. The benefits to IT managers are compelling. However, there are a number of hidden "gotchas" that can thwart IT's efforts to migrate existing applications to a virtual environment and can threaten the stability of mission-critical applications.

Join this live TechRepublic Webcast, hosted by James Hilliard and featuring Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis Software, to learn how:

Hardware resources can be consolidated onto fewer servers

IT organizations can scale their server resources

IT staff resources can be deployed more efficiently

Legacy applications can be redeployed to virtual machines, extending application life and increasing performance

Security can be improved when the operating system doesn't communicate directly with the host

Gartner calls virtualization a "megatrend" and International Data Corp. forecasts that spending for virtualization will reach $15 billion by 2009. So join this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Acronis and featuring live Q&A, to learn how you can avoid a variety of virtualization "gotchas." Pre-register today!

Note: This TechRepublic Webcast will be recorded and made available on an on-demand basis following the live event. So pre-register today--even if you're not sure you can attend on November 21st--and we'll notify you by e-mail when the on-demand version is available.

Introducing Master Data Management 2006-12-16 01:00:21 Forrester Research

Master data management (MDM) is a business capability enabled through the alignment of multiple information management technologies, business process improvements, and organizational commitments. MDM is much more than a single technology solution; it requires an ecosystem of technologies to allow the creation, management, and distribution of high-quality master data throughout the organization. This master data can be leveraged on both sides of your firewall � wherever and whenever it's needed. Enterprise architects and information management leaders must filter through the vendor hype surrounding MDM and use a checklist that considers the current state of the master data landscape and the technology, resource, and organizational commitment required to successfully implement this business capability across it.

Data Cleansing Scrubs 2006-11-02 01:00:17 Data-Cleansing-Guru.com

Data cleansing is a program and/or service that spots duplicating records within a database. Once the duplicate files are detected, the program works to remove the database, thus cleansing the base. Data cleansing programs also correct databases storing contaminated files, such as incorrect data, outdated data, incomplete files, redundant data, and incorrect formats. The primary goal of data cleansing is to restore consistency, cleanse databases, and so forth.

Basic Data Cleansing Services 2006-11-02 01:00:17 Data-Cleansing-Guru.com

Data cleansing services are handy, since the services will cleanse databases of duplicating files. Data cleansing services will often review a person's Excel databases, reviewing the data to determine the amount of cleaning needed. Once the service determines the person's needs, the reps will then define the person's needs, and refine the rules of business. The analyzing process takes off, which includes evaluation of the data records.

Why Data Cleansing 2006-11-02 01:00:17 Data-Cleansing-Guru.com

A DataBase (DB) is a collection of data, which is often prearranged so that the computer can swiftly locate information. Often databases are used as systems to file confidential and personal information. Database records is a "Set of fields," while files are collections of each record stored within databases. Databases are employed by small and large businesses, and are sometimes utilized to analyze numerals, as well as contrast large volumes of information. Data cleansing is a program or service, which helps to maintain efficiency of databases.
