Information and data quality conference 99
11 October 1999 - 11 October 1999
United Kingdom
The European information and data quality conference 99, dedicated to 'Reducing business and IT costs through information quality', will be held in London, United Kingdom, from 11 to 13 October 1999.
Organised by the Technology Transfer Institute, the event aims to show organisations that they must continually reassess how they develop applications and databases to stay ahead of the game. Fixing data has no business value, and organisations who do nothing to monitor their applications and databases condemn themselves to spending millions of pounds on 'information scrap and rework', as billions of companies have found with the millennium bug.
A 1998 survey by the Standish Group of over 7,000 IT projects showed that 74% of all IT projects in the US overran or failed, resulting in almost $100 billion in unexpected costs. In many cases this is not an issue of software quality but of failing to understand and develop applications based upon business information requirements.
The conference speakers are experts in their fields, both information quality practitioners and independent consultants, and will provide an insight on how businesses could benefit from information and data quality improvement.
Themes to be addressed include: information value and costs of non-quality; metadata, data definition and data architecture quality; information quality assessment, information process improvement and control; implementing and assessing information quality initiatives; customer information quality and customer relationship management, internet and on-line document quality; data warehouse cleansing, correction and transformation; data warehouse data sourcing, reconciliation, audit and control; and data warehouse data architecture and business rules.
There will also be a one day executive session on 13 October on 'KAIZEN and information quality as business tools for reducing waste and increasing business effectiveness'.
