    Guest keynoteSecond City Communications:

    What an Intelligent Idea!Presenters: Second City Players

    A unique perspective on a serious topic from the Second City

    Players: The Second City has been performing sketch comedy

    in front of audiences for over 50 years, making it the standard

    by which comedy and improv in America is judged. So much

    talent has come from the ranks of the companys many theaters

    over the years, it reads like a whos who of contemporary

    American comedy. Some of their most well-known alumni are

    Mike Myers, Chris Farley, Tina Fey, Steve Carell and Stephen

    Colbert, to name a few. Imagine the fun well have exploring

    the comic side of the oxymoron business intelligence, the

    debate over whether we master data or it masters us, absurd

    (yet painfully real) examples of data quality gaffs, and more.

    So come join the historic Second City improvisational troupe

    for a fun, interactive and unconventional yet memorable keynote.

    Gartner keynoteThe MDM Scenario

    Presenters: John Radcliffe and Andrew WhiteInterest in MDM continues apace. More and more organizations

    are recognizing the value of single version of the truth of

    critical data like customer or product or hierarchy. But

    the barriers to adopting MDM remain high. It is a different way

    to manage data as an asset, and it impacts so many other

    things in IT and in the business. This scenario takes stock of

    what has been achieved with MDM so far, and charts the

    journey going forward. We share our predictions about where

    MDM is going in terms of technology, best practices, the

    market and the vendor landscape, to give you the Gartner

    vision for the future of MDM.

    Desired business outcome:Increased revenue and growth

    To be more market-driven, a consumer goods firm operates in a decentralized

    manner but with centralized governance of corporate data. However, its new product

    launches are vulnerable to complex processes, spanning many departments andregions. The result: valuable lead time is squandered, and its flagship products are

    losing market share due to the tarnished performance of its newer products.

    Solution:MDM for product data can synchronize all product and location data across

    supply chain processes to support customer service, returns and logistics and

    ensure that the right data is used at the right place. Retailers and partners get new

    products to shelves faster.

    Desired business outcome: Improved customer service

    A large reta il chain is los ing customers to competi tors due to poor customer

    centricitya direct result of growth through acquisition. Without an accurate single-view

    of the entire customer base, upselling, cross-selling and upgrading opportunities

    were being wasted andeven worseexisting customers were being mistakenly

    identified as new prospects.

    Solution: MDM for customer data synchronizes customer and account data

    across all sources and systems to support accurate marketing analysis as well as

    customer-facing sales teams and processes.

    Desired business outcome:Enhanced reporting and decision making

    A healthcare provider struggles to provide its users with necessary information on

    a timely basis. Despite several costly BI initiatives, it still lacks a process that aligns

    the line of business users governance efforts with the efforts of the BI initiatives.Too many attempts at cleaning the master data have resulted in lots of one-off

    projects that eventually undermine the enterprise view of master data.

    Solution:Analytical MDM helps align the uses of master data in a BI environment

    with the operational governance routines required by the line of business. It ensures

    that the right master data is in the right place whenever a decision is needed.

    Desired business outcome: Business transformation

    A key part of the business vision for a large telecommunications operator is to provide

    its consumers with multiplay offers and packages. However, due to rapid growth, the

    operator has a legacy of multiple order management systems, product catalogs, CRM

    systems, provisioning systems and billing systems. Whats needed is better integrationand consistency among its different applications, as well as greater flexibility and

    agility in creating or customizing new applications and new product bundles.

    Solution:The adoption of SOA is one part of the technology answer to the challenge.

    However, the organization also realizes that MDM, particularly for customer and

    product data, is a key foundation for SOA. Without MDM there is no trusted source

    for the master data on which the new SOA depends.

    Agenda tracksEngage: Building a Solid Foundation for Your First MDM Program

    As in any journey, carefully placed early steps with MDM will foster ongoing

    success. This track is designed to help you do just that. Well explore the

    Gartner Seven Building Blocks of MDM Success and show how you can

    apply them as you launch your own program. Given that MDM is a business

    discipline and not a technology project, well help you build the vision for

    MDM, scope it out, build the business case, measure its success, and better

    understand the organizational requirements and process impact of MDM.

    Youll come away with a detailed list of action items and best practices for

    embarking on your MDM journey in your organization.

    Expand: Moving Up the MDM Maturity Curve

    For those who have launched an MDM program, this track is designed to help

    you take it to the next level, and further success levels thereafter until MDM is

    part of the very fabric of your organization. Well help you move beyond your

    first initiative to capture more data domains, use cases, and implementation

    styles until you have a single, enterprisewide view of all of your information

    assets. Well show you how to manage master data as an asset across

    the organization, and to put processes in place to ensure continuous

    improvement in the management and use of that information asset. Well

    also demonstrate, through practical case studies and benchmarks, whyachieving this level of mastery is critical to your organizations success.

    Connect: Making Sure MDM Is Linked to Where Its Needed Most

    MDM practitioners quickly recognize that, as they develop their MDM

    program, MDM has a great impact on, and is affected by, a wide variety of

    systems, processes, initiatives and technologies across IT as well as the

    business. Youll learn how it is intertwined with and critical to the success

    of initiatives such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), enterprise information

    architecture (EIA), data quality and integration, metadata management,

    business process management (BPM), business intelligence (BI) and

    performance management (PM). Well also show you how MDM strengthens

    each endeavor as well as your organizations overall performance.
