Empowering business in a data-centric world

Informatica Day – Brussels

Date: Thursday 20 November
Time: 10:00 – 16:00
Location: Salons Waerboom
Jozef Mertensstraat 140
B-1702 Groot-Bijgaarden

Informatica Day – Brussels is a half day event that brings together the Data Community’s brightest minds to push the boundaries of current thinking and discuss the role of data in the real-time digital enterprise of the future.

The agenda is based on the most popular sessions from the recent Informatica World event held in Las Vegas – with speakers including customers like Eriks Group, Merck, independent industry analysts, sponsors, and Informatica luminaries.

Industry experts will present Informatica’s vision for the new data-centric world, and discuss the innovations that will take the concept of a data platform to an entirely new level. You will learn:

  • How the Intelligent Data Platform unleashes a new level of data-driven business potential by making data self-organising, secure, trusted and more easily consumed by people, applications, devices and things.

  • How the Project Springbok data harmonisation solution empowers non-technical users to find, assemble, combine, improve and share data sets – resulting in clean, safe and connected data that is decision-quality.

  • How Secure@Source™ is a fundamentally new way of looking at security – with the data-centric approach giving companies the ability to discover, protect, and detect sensitive data across the enterprise.

  • How Informatica MDM 10 makes it even easier for business users to gain a 360 degree view of critical business entities including customers, suppliers, products and assets.

Register now and get inspired at the one and only event where it’s all about your Data!

‘From Data tragedy to Information Strategy, making your organisation information centric’

Jan Henderyckx – Director of the Belgium and Luxembourg chapter of DAMA (Data Management Association)
Not looking at the data in your organization as an asset often means that you leave a huge potential untapped which your competitor could turn into an advantage. The internet of things and data that is harder to obtain value from (also called Big Data) is a reality that every business model is faced with. Poor information management indeed leads to data tragedy if you don’t take action. The answer is not just a capability discussion but requires a mindset change at all levels in the organization.
  • Defining what information is relevant for your business model?
  • Making it happen, the steps you need to take to succeed.
  • Convincing your management to act.
  • A practical roadmap
