Description
Meta Data is one of the hottest arenas in Information Technology today. Corporations have realized the value of Meta Data and the absolute need for it in order for their Businesses to thrive in increasingly competitive markets.
Building a Managed Meta Data Environment (MME) is no longer an option, but an absolute requirement for corporations. Companies have realized that without a MME their IT departments cannot properly manage their systems and that their systems are not providing true value to the Business end user. A MME is the system that manages your company's systems.
This practical course leverages the lessons learned from companies that have successfully deployed MMEs. The real-world MME case studies will be used to demonstrate the importance of having a methodology for defining Meta Data requirements, capturing and integrating Meta Data, how to calculate Return On Investment (ROI), form a team, and develop a project plan, advanced Meta Data architectures, pulse-of-the-market analysis of Meta Data integration tool vendors, methodology for defining an attainable project scope, and a detailed walkthrough of a detailed Meta Data model.
