Daragh O Brien will provide the keynote at this prestigious event. Daragh is Managing Director of Castlebridge Associates, author and respected thought leader internationally in Data Quality, Data Governance, and Data Protection.

Data is the new world currency and by applying a robust data management strategy, organisations can increase revenue, reduce costs, gain competitive advantage and prepare for forthcoming EU Data Protection Regulations.

But organisations should first ensure they are practicing effective information governance. And that can only exist when a business adopts a “factory approach” to data integration and data quality so it can know what data it collects, where it came from, who it came from, how it’s stored, where it’s stored, how it’s used, what it’s used for, where it is going, how many copies exist, and the quality and integrity of the data at any one time.

What you will learn during this event:

  • How effective compliance and Enterprise Information Management starts with a focus on quality within your “information factories”.
  • How to apply Information Quality principles and techniques to meet current and forthcoming Data Protection regulations.
  • How to support the implementation of recognised standards for Data Protection governance.
  • A methodology for identifying critical quality characteristics and how you measure them.
  • How pervasive data quality helps create and maintain a true single view of customer – with specific reference to Irish and Gaelic identity matching. (We are also GeoDirectory certified by An Post for Irish address validation).
  • Best practices for decreasing the risk of data breaches through the effective management and protection of private and sensitive data.
  • How to position high quality data as central to your company’s customer-facing initiatives.

Informatica Forums set the standard for educational content and are always very well attended by an excellent range of senior IT and business professionals. The number of places available is limited.

We look forward to seeing you at George’s Quay House, Dublin 2 on Wednesday 20 March (15:30 – 18:00) for what promises to be a highly informative and enjoyable event.

Castlebridge Associates

Information is the fuel of Business.
Castlebridge Associates was founded with the simple mission to help organisations handle that fuel with appropriate care to ensure optimum fuel efficiency and maximum business effectiveness.

Careless handling and management of information can be explosive, potentially causing damage to your business or polluting your relationships with your customers, suppliers or partners.

Is your business running on diesel when your business engine needs rocket fuel? (in other words, does the quality of your information meet or exceed the needs/expectations of stakeholders?)

  • Have you recently had an “Information Oil Spill”? (in other words, have you recently lost personal data held by your organisation, or are you concerned with Data Protection or Information Security?)
  • Do you know who is responsible for managing your Information Fuel supply and keeping the pipeline safe, secure, and working? (in other words, what is your Data Governance framework and how does it link to your overall Corporate Governance?)
  • Is there friction between the goals of your organisation and the capability of your information assets which could cause sparks (which are never safe when you are around fuel)?
  • Are your staff aware of how to safely handle this powerful “Business Fuel” in a way that adds value to your business while managing the risks involved and taking advantage of the “Renewable” nature of Information as a fuel.
  • The Castlebridge Associates team builds on extensive experience in the business management of Information and the associated technology to help organisations of all sizes achieve more and run their business on higher quality business fuel.
