IT’s data relevancy is how positively it impacts business success.

- How is the architecture built to support the business?
11:30am – 12:30pm: Data as a Product – the Key to Gaining Influence
Brenden McGlinchey, Information Management Practice Lead, Kenway Consulting
Everyone in technology has great ideas. The next revenue-generating breakthrough, efficiency driver, security mitigation, and much needed modernization. How do we advance these from great architecture diagrams and logical models to reality? Product Management has been an answer within application development, but its applicability to the data world has been slow to realize. We’ll tell the story of how we went from a good and necessary idea to a transformational reality through Product Management in the data world.
Along the way we’ll cover:
- Data as a Product fits into the Modern Data Stack/Lifecycle
- Leveraging this concept for career advancement
- Real-world application
- How to apply in your context
- How to answer the elusive ROI question

1:30pm – 2:30pm: How to Develop an ROI for Architecture and Analytics Projects
In the technology world, we know that success in analytics is often defined by access to more data with less down-time, and delivering more accurate analytics at faster speeds. However, executives and business users need to understand the costs, benefits, and return on investment (ROI) before making an initial technology investment and hiring supporting staff and resources. They want the benefits of analytics in a language they will understand. A well-understood and clearly defined business case that can show tangible value makes it easier to get business buy-in. In turn, you can transform your analytics team into a trusted business partner and an essential resource in the organization, not just a cost center.
2:30pm – 3:00pm: Refreshment & Exhibit Break
