Quest EMPOWER 2022 - Data Intelligence and Governance

Join Bharath Vasudevan, Vice President of Quest ISM Product Management, for this opening day 1 Quest EMPOWER keynote session geared to all organizational contributors across IT, data governance teams and business user communities. Bharath will share how data intelligence and data governance is currently driving data empowerment throughout the leading data-driven organizations Quest works with today and the essential role of technology now and into the future.

In the quest to become a data-driven organization, many companies cite supporting data governance initiatives through a central data catalog as the initial reason to evaluate and invest in data intelligence software. But, how can data intelligence software be used to more broadly support an enterprise’s data management architecture? And, how can data intelligence software help organizations tackle the everyday IT, data steward, analyst and other stakeholder challenges encountered in data management? Join Ivo Kuijlaars, Data Architecture Lead at Enexis Groep, a Netherlands-based energy supplier, to hear why and how Enexis started its journey as an erwin Data Intelligence by Quest customer and the practical use cases it continues to discover for data intelligence software across the organization. Learn how Enexis uses erwin Data Intelligence with Snowflake, Power BI, SAP Hana and more to deliver data landscape visibility and new data management and data governance efficiencies.

The successful organization in today’s digital economy needs to be data-driven. Companies large and small as well as governments and nonprofit organizations are all seeing the value that data can bring to driving success. Data-driven success, however, requires a certain level of “data intelligence” across the organization. What is data intelligence? It combines people, process and technology with a mix of data architecture, data governance, and data literacy required from both business and IT stakeholders. While this can seem complex, join Donna Burbank, managing director of Global Data Strategy, to demystify the complexities of data intelligence and provide practical, concrete best practices based on real-world implementations around the globe.

To truly leverage data to its fullest potential within an organization, business stakeholders must have the enterprise data visibility, data literacy, data quality and data fitness transparency to fuel data trust. But, with limited resources and a long list of organizational needs, what are some of the key areas that IT and data governance teams should target to have maximum impact? Join Stewart Bond, VP of Data Intelligence and Data Integration Software Research at IDC, to learn from recent IDC research conducted to better pinpoint the needs and expectations of business stakeholders and current stakeholder assessments of the state and availability of data intelligence. As a leading data industry analyst regularly in contact with both real-world data practitioners driving data intelligence efforts and the software vendors that support them, Stewart has a unique vantage point with which to help you better develop impactful, practical strategies for today as well as into the future.

Companies today have recognized the power of data to transform their business. However, the true power of data is only unlocked when business users across your organization can not only access data critical to smart decision-making but are given the tools to work with that data without the need to be IT gurus. Learn through this Quest discussion with Richard Foley, Manager of Business Intelligence for Essendant, of the growing importance of data democratization to organizational business goals and how Essendant is leveraging self-service data preparation tools to empower their everyday users.

Data intelligence and governance is core to your organization’s data empowerment. Success with data intelligence and governance initiatives is critical to your organization’s ability to know your data, protect and guide its usage, and ensure it can be trusted and available at the right time to fuel good decisions and the best business outcomes. Join Danny Sandwell, Quest senior solutions manager, and discover the Quest technology solutions for automated data cataloging, data quality, data literacy, data modeling, and self-service data preparation that can help you empower IT, data governance teams and business users alike.
