Free Webinar on the Importance of Data Governance within Digital Transformation

This webinar will share findings from recent primary research undertaken by CIMdata.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 7 March 2023—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “The Importance of Data Governance within Digital Transformation.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 13 April 2023, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and will last for one hour.

Digital Transformation programs are enabling growth for many companies. At the core of digital transformation is the data entered into the myriad of enterprise systems and used throughout the organization to make decisions. Despite the importance of accurate product development, supply chain, manufacturing, marketing, and sales data to the organization, many companies lack a formal structure and governance for the data.

This webinar will share the results of CIMdata’s recent data governance survey, techniques for enabling organization attention on data governance, and data governance activities within a digital transformation initiative. Key findings from the industry research will be provided.

Attendees at this webinar will:

• Learn how data governance enables digital transformation.
• Gain the knowledge to set up a people-centric data governance structure.
• Understand how to leverage data governance to support an organization’s digital transformation journey.
• Find out how to start on a data governance journey.
• Learn how to gain executive “buy-in” for data governance.
• Understand how to determine what value will come from data governance.

According to Janie Gurley, CIMdata’s Director, Data Governance Practice, and a host for this webinar, “As digital transformation spreads throughout businesses, the need for effective data governance is gaining importance, benefiting every task and process where reliable data is indispensable. Today, digital transformation is one of the main drivers of the need for data governance. Still, many other changes are sweeping through today’s successful enterprises, including fundamental shifts in how products are planned, developed, marketed, and serviced.”

Dana Nickerson, CIMdata Executive Consultant, also a webinar host, commented, “So many organizations are embarking on digital transformation journeys without addressing the backbone of their initiative: information management. Core information management is a people-centric data governance framework that enables an organization to structure data for accuracy, analysis, and reliable decision-making. What most executives want from digital transformation is increased business performance. Effective decision-making based on reliable data is the essence of digital transformation.”

Anyone with responsibility or interest in data governance will find this webinar of interest.
