I just received word on this webinar on 3/25 and thought I’d share the link: Trillium MDM Webinar. Just click on ‘enroll’ to the right of the first event.

Feel free to leave comments about it in the comments section, and if you know of any others please post in the comments section as well.

Dataflux is sponsoring a free Webcast today titled “ZERO TO FIVE: A Stepwise Progression for MDM and Data Governance”. Jill Dyché and Evan Levy will discuss:

• Why MDM needs to be deconstructed into discrete functional areas

• Why understanding business requirements means understanding functional requirements

• Why successful MDM depends on a solid data governance framework

The webcast is Today at 2PM EST. To register, click here.

This is an un-sponsored post.

For the next 4 days you’ll have some opportunities to win the book “Alpha Males and Data Disasters - The Case for Data Governance”. This book is a great case study on why Data Governance is needed in an organization, and its a really quick and easy read. It provides a nice business perspective on Data Governance that you can easily apply to your pitches and presentations. If you don’t have it, I highly recommend trying to win it in this giveaway.

So here is how it will work. I’m going to drop names in a hat and pull out the winner on Friday, September 5th at 5pm EST. You can get your name on multiple slips of paper, as follows:

1. Subscribe to the blog. Its easy, and you’ll get your name on one slip of paper. If you have already subscribed, don’t worry, you’ll automatically be entered for this.

2. Signup for this webinar. Its free, you won’t be spammed, and you’ll learn a heck-of-a-lot in an hour long audio webinar about Data Governance. You’ll get your name on 3 slips of paper for this. All you have to do is send me an email and I’ll verify that your email address has registered for the webinar.

3. Write a post for this blog. You’ll get your name on 5 slips of paper this way and its super easy! Just write about 300 words on a tip, suggestion, or something you have learned while working or researching Data Governance and email it over to me. I just ask you not steal your content from anywhere else. You can write something up that will help the whole community in probably less than five minutes, and get a bunch of entries. In addition, you can really start to build a name for yourself in this field.

There you have it, easy right? In the next 10 minutes you could have 9 entries into the contest and a good shot at winning a great book. First things first, subscribe if you haven’t already.

Data Governance and the Holy Grail
This is a nice article on how Data Governance is helping the business better connect with IT, and vise-versa. The ‘holy grail’ in this case is the idea that the business and IT and working so closely together that the business needs are always met by the IT solutions. Last I checked we hadn’t found the holy grail, but Data Governance has certainly helped build a better bridge between the two groups.
