Why? Companies without a Master Data Management strategy in place lack an accurate, trusted, single source of master reference data which puts enterprise applications at risk and results in missed opportunities to generate revenue, reduce costs, improve customer service and comply with the growing complexity of government regulations. Find out how organizations are addressing the Master Data Management challenge with innovative enterprise data integration strategies that transform corporate data into strategic enterprise assets. Ziff Davis Media invites you to join other senior IT leaders in an executive roundtable discussion about the benefits, issues and challenges of managing enterprise-wide data in the context of strategic corporate initiatives. Join your peers and expert consultants in Cleveland, Hartford or Nashville to discuss how the latest data integration strategies, best practices and technologies can help meet today's most pressing enterprise data management challenges. http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?on=IMNL105Z17 Executive Breakfast Briefing series presented by IBM & DM Review: Manage Risk, Control Costs, and Improve ROI with Master Data Integration Join executives from Deloitte and IBM, an analyst from Forrester Research, and your peers at this seminar series to hear an industry perspective, in person customer case studies from NSTAR and the State of New Jersey (customer speaker varies per city), and best practices for successful implementations of data quality initiatives.

New data sources are constantly being added and some of the data needs to be acquired in real-time. The IBM WebSphere Information Integrator product line provides a fast and easy way to issue a single federated query across multiple systems without having to move the data to the data warehouse. It is an ideal solution for IBM WebSphere DataStage customers who need real-time access to specific data sources or have a need to quickly stage information from new sources before building a standard ETL data flow. Join us on November 10th, at 2:00PM ET/10:00AM PT, to see a demonstration of WebSphere Information Integrator and gain an understanding of how it can add a valuable capability to your data integration strategy. http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?on=IMNL105Z19 Webcast: Customer Data Integration: The Key to Accurate Customer Information Fragmented data and lack of unique, complete, and accurate customer information are the most common obstacles in an organization's efforts to become customer-driven. Industry analyst Aaron Zornes from the CDI Institute as well as experts from Siebel Systems and IBM Information Integration Solutions explain how a Customer Data Integration solution can help your organization increase sales productivity, streamline customer data maintenance, improve risk management, and manage privacy compliance. Do not miss this opportunity to learn how a customer data integration solution can enable your organization to achieve a single view of the customer. http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?on=IMNL105Z20 Webcast: Rationalize Your Application Infrastructure - Consolidate or Virtualize Your enterprise has completed an acquisition, or has grown organically. Your organization has centralized many applications, but many departments and business units have rolled out their own applications. Whatever the reason, you probably have many systems spread over your organization's landscape. Your IT task: radically simplify and rationalize your applications infrastructure -- reduce applications, migrate applications, and consolidate instances to save costs and make your enterprise more agile, yet still provide consistent, timely, complete information you can trust to users. Because these applications are critical to running your business, there is a lot of risk in these projects, and many inherent data-centric challenges: how do you connect to your data, understand it, cleanse it, transform it, and consolidate it? In some cases, consolidating applications is not an option, so a virtual view of information for users is the correct approach. In this webcast, experts from IBM and Ventana Research will survey the scenarios, challenges, and options for information integration in large heterogeneous landscapes, and discuss best practices with customer examples. http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?on=IMNL105Z21 Webcast Replay: Optimizing your Performance with DB2-UDB for z/OS Version 8 Topics include performance measurements and the range of improvements for application and query performance.
