As the target audience for metadata management evolves, and metadata management reaches deeper into the enterprise, more and more organizations are seeking to collect and provide "business" metadata. Unfortunately, although the idea of business metadata is attractive, when it comes to actual collection and delivery, many companies struggle to define what they really mean! What are the real metadata requirements of people for whom IT really is "just a tool"? And what is the business value of metadata to those users? In this presentation, Ian and Sue will consider several different classes of business metadata and use real life examples to consider the following issues:
* What kinds of business metadata are there? * Where do the different kinds of business metadata come from? * How should different kinds of business metadata be collected? * How should business metadata be communicated? * How should different kinds of business metadata be collected? * At the end of this presentation, attendees should be able to communicate effectively about how metadata can help the true business user, and the practicalities of providing it, and use that knowledge as part of the process of justifying investing in metadata management.
As a Solution Architect with ASG, Sue works with major corporate clients to understand and articulate metadata management requirements and design and scope appropriate solutions. For the seven years prior to joining ASG, Sue worked for a major US financial institution, being instrumental in building and rolling out the organizations Enterprise Metadata Repository.
As Senior Director of Product Management with ASG, Ian uses his broad ranging experience of systems and metadata management to direct the content and communications of ASG's enterprise repository and BSP-CMDB technology. Ian's 30 year-background in IT involves design, development, consulting and support experiences with major corporates and Software vendors. He is a member of the British Computer Society and Chartered IT Professional.
