Webinar Speaker: James Kobielus, Senior Research Director, Data Management
Date: Tuesday, September 13, 2022
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT, 12:00 p.m. ET
The data mesh can deliver a clearer, more agile, and more comprehensive picture of diverse data assets. This increasingly popular paradigm is best suited to enterprise environments in which data ownership and management are distributed across multiple domains. It provides a robust data architecture that spares business users from having to navigate data lakes and other huge, monolithic repositories.
In this panel, TDWI senior research director James Kobielus will lead data industry experts from Informatica and Wipro through an in-depth discussion of the enterprise shift away from monolithic data toward multidomain mesh architectures. They will examine how the data mesh can transform business processes and infrastructure to ensure increased data trust, value, and accessibility. The discussion will focus on several key issues:
- What is a data mesh?
- What are the principal use cases and business contexts for data mesh?
- What data integration mechanisms are best suited to data mesh?
- How should analytical and operational data platforms be configured to take advantage of the data mesh?
- How does the data mesh differ from federated, fabric, and other distributed architectures?
- What is the logical first step on the enterprise journey to the data mesh?
- What enabling solutions should an enterprise adopt in order to implement a data mesh?
- What standards are relevant to the adoption and management of data meshes?
- What is the role of self-service infrastructure in a data mesh?
- How does a data mesh impact data management costs?
- What are the governance and security implications of a data mesh?
- Does a data mesh require changes to enterprise data management organizational and staffing models?
- Does a data mesh eliminate or reduce enterprise need for master data management?
