Events for IT and Data Pros

Mapping Business Processes to Compliance Procedures

As companies define their business objectives, they also need to establish business processes for the regulatory guidelines they will be required to meet, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOX. Corporate legal teams need to validate the business’s compliance against the defined processes, so that they can understand how data flows and how the enterprise architecture helps with compliance to those regulations. Business and technical teams need a way to share the information on corporate objectives and reconcile it to the technical architecture. IDERA’s Kim Brushaber will discuss the challenges faced and how to use business processes for legal compliance.

Strategic Imperative: The Enterprise Data Model

With today's increasingly complex data ecosystems, the Enterprise Data Model (EDM) is a strategic imperative that every organization should adopt. An Enterprise Data Model provides context and consistency for all organizational data assets, as well as a classification framework for data governance. Enterprise modeling is also totally consistent with agile workflows, evolving incrementally to keep pace with changing organizational factors. In this session, IDERA's Ron Huizenga will discuss the increasing importance of the EDM, how it serves as a framework for all enterprise data assets, and provides a foundation for data governance.
