In this presentation transcript, Ron Powell will provide an overview of the information integration and governance theme and discuss the importance of the five topics within that theme: information integration, MDM, data warehousing and analytics, database management and tools, and database security and privacy, and lifecycle management.

Information integration and governance:

• A strong governance foundation is required to ensure policy and metrics are applied consistently across the organization at a heterogeneous level

• Provides clean, consistent, integrated, relevant, and secure data that people can trust

• Provides consensus on common terms and metrics

• Establishes a process to manage information integrity and consistency across the enterprise.

• Data integration, master data management, data warehousing, database management systems, data security and privacy, and lifecycle management must all be anchored by a consistent governance process
