Abstract
Open Data Abstract / Marcel Jemio / TDWI, March 2015
As global research clearly states, there is a strong correlation between the use of international industry standards and economically strong industries and countries. Also, there is a strong value added benefit for relying on international industry data standards in public sector financial management. As countries continue to respond to the financial crisis, they continue to embrace transparency and open government principles – in fact, by the end of 2012, 28% of all countries worldwide have endorsed open government principles and the use of international industry data standards. With the private sector having witnessed enormous economic gains in using industry standards securely and efficiently, the US Federal Government is shifting towards becoming an information-centric organization, embracing the strategic and tactical value of the primacy of data, and emphasizing the importance of using international industry standards.
The focus of this presentation will be to address the causes and effects of the global demand for data, the challenges and opportunities with open data and open government, and the strategic and operational activities that a data governance program can enact to capitalize upon the primacy of data so that your organization can effectively and efficiently mature into a data-driven organization.

“Making It Happen: A Novel Way to Combine, Construct, Customize, and Implement Data Discovery, Big Data Analytics, and Fraud Framework in Medicare” by Vivek Sethunatesan, Technical Advisor – Health IT, Northrop Grumman

Abstract
A common complaint from business users working on identifying fraud and abuse in Medicare is that teams focus on operational applications, static reports, and high level outliers, but when faced with the need to constantly evaluate changing Medicare provider and beneficiary/enrollee dynamics, those business units clamor for more dynamic and accurate detection approaches. Providing these organizations with a data discovery and predictive analytics framework that leverages Hadoop and other big data analytical approaches, while providing a clear path for rapid fact-based decisions, is critical in pre- and post- payment fraud and abuse analysis. This presentation talks about the data management, data discovery, predictive analytics, and social network analysis capabilities that are included in the fraud framework, and how a unified approach can significantly reduce the analytical life cycle of building and deploying fraud models.
