We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Infogain,
a global provider of enterprise IT solutions, system integration and
custom application development, in partnership with Oracle and KPMG,
will present a free luncheon for businesses to learn how Oracle
Master Data Management solutions can improve data quality and
integration. The seminar, designed for business leaders across all
sectors including finance, marketing, sales, supply chain, order
management and information technology, will focus on data management for
customers, suppliers, and products.
“MDM: The Source of Clean Data” will be held on Thursday, Feb. 11, 2010,
from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. PST, at the Oracle Conference Center in Redwood
Shores, Calif. Presentations will highlight how Master Data Management
can reduce compliance risk, optimize operations, reduce application and
integration costs, and boost sales and marketing initiatives. Presenters
will offer proven techniques and case studies that will explain how to:
Improve performance to increase revenue and market share
Lower integration costs while improving IT agility
Reduce compliance risk and cost
Improve operational efficiency
Optimize Business Intelligence.
In addition, Brian Rogan, President of Global Field Operations for
Infogain, will moderate a Q&A session with NetApp
on their Oracle Customer Data Hub.
“In today’s complex business environment, organizations are challenged
with a surplus of data that is often fragmented across different
systems,” says Rogan. “As a critical component for achieving compliance,
MDM is an extremely important issue for businesses. If data is not
managed properly, it can result in costly inaccuracies and loss of
productivity. This event will help business leaders understand the
complexities of Master Data Management and show how Oracle’s solutions
can be quickly implemented to improve efficiency and lower costs. We
expect all attendees to leave the event with a better understanding of
data management and integration.”
