Time: 9:00 a.m. PT, 12:00 p.m. ET
Data democratization is a strategic imperative in many organizations for empowering more people to use data effectively. However, without good governance, growth in business intelligence and self-service analytics can quickly spin out of control. This is especially true in the age of cloud computing, where it is easy to spin up new BI services and applications.
With the variety of tools, services, and applications in use, organizations find that they have little overall visibility. Duplication proliferates; organizations struggle to monitor and manage who is sharing reports, dashboards, and other content, including across messaging apps such as Slack. In addition, organizations are unable to assess which BI assets are delivering the most value, which need rework, and which are no longer relevant and not worth the time and investment. Eventually, initial excitement about data democratization can turn into frustration.
Join this TDWI Webinar to learn how your organization can upgrade BI governance to reduce chaos and redundancy, protect sensitive data and BI assets, and increase business value. The webinar will cover strategies for managing BI life cycles so that organizations properly govern content before sharing. Speakers will discuss how to gain visibility into usage patterns, improve engagement, and use centralized resources to make it easier for users to find relevant BI assets even when the environment includes a variety of BI tools and services.
Topics to be discussed in this webinar include:
- Monitoring BI content usage to gain insights into value and relevance
- How to manage, streamline, and synchronize BI content sharing
- Recommendations for improving governance to protect sensitive data and BI assets
- Improving visibility into user satisfaction and reducing time to insight
