An informative and practical data governance training for IT professionals, managers, leaders and executives.

We also want to help business leaders better understand the value data governance can bring to an organization and the connection between data governance and the technology that’s used to manage it.
With the variety, volume and velocity of data increasing everyday it’s important to understand why you need data governance. Very view companies know how much data they have, where all their data is stored, and how knowing this information can help the business. Data governance requires a lot of company time, effort, and resources to execute correctly. For that reason, we will learn about the business case for data governance during this session. Topics in this module include:
When your company doesn’t have the needed tools or platform to manage and govern your data, your organizational goals will likely fall flat. These 5 concepts are the key to creating and maintaining a rock-solid data governance system. With the introduction and explanation of each concept we’ll take a deeper, hands-on, investigate one of the most popular data governance tools on the market – Microsoft Purview. During each session we will cover the following key ideas and get hands-on experience exploring these features and actions inside Purview. Topics in this module include:
Having good data that isn’t available for use and having available data that you don’t have a use for are two boons when it comes to data management. When you can’t use your data it invalidates the entire process used to collect and process that data. And worse yet, it doesn’t allow you to answer critical business questions, fast. During this session we will examine data availability, data usability, and their importance in business. We will also have a hands-on session where we teach you practical ways to ensure this doesn’t happen to your data. Topics in this module include:
Having unsecured data is a huge problem in today’s business landscape. Everyday we are seeing more and more companies coming forward with reports of hacks and leaks. These events cast a dark shadow on these companies by damaging their reputation and even result in penalties and fines. One of the reasons that data remains unsecured is because it has no real owner. No one is responsible for the data, no one knows about the sensitivity of it and therefore the data can be mistreated and made vulnerable to a breach. In this session we’ll talk about the problems with unsecured and ownerless data and teach you practical ways to safeguard and assign responsibility. Topics in this module include:
The most common data management mistake that companies make today is using data that they haven’t verified to be accurate. It happens everyday in almost every company, and it is so easy to do. However, just using data without knowing the veracity can lead to very bad business decisions and in some cases, be much worse. Imagine if the management system at a hospital didn’t verify patient records. What kind of trouble do you think that would cause? For that reason, we are going to learn methods and processes for verifying data integrity and we will teach you how to do it practically in this hands-on session. We’ll also cover things like:

A data catalog is an organized, detailed collection of data assets within an organization. During this session we’ll review the data catalog and discuss its role in data governance. We’ll cover topics like:
In this session we move from theory to practice and teach you how to implement a popular data governance solution, Microsoft Purview. Microsoft Purview is one of the most popular and robust data catalog tools available on the market. During this session we’ll cover topics like:

Having good data that isn’t available for use and having available data that you don’t have a use for are two of the biggest boons when it comes to data management. When you can’t use your data it invalidates the entire process used to collect and process that data. During this session we will cover the following topics:
Delivery format: Scanning and registering data in Purview. Creating a data map in Purview. Creating defining and assigning classifications and glossary terms to data assets in Purview.

The most common data management mistake that companies make today is using data that they haven’t verified to be accurate. It happens every day in almost every company. However, using data without knowing the veracity of that data can lead to bad business decisions and in some cases can lead to decisions that hurt people. In this session we’ll cover topics like:
Delivery format: Certifying your data assets in Purview. We’ll also cover using classifications for data quality and exploring data lineages in Purview.
It’s unusually inefficient to combine all of your data into only 1 system, so most companies have many data sources from all different providers. Only governing data from select data sources will likely undermine any of your data governance efforts. So being able to govern data from multiple sources is key to an effective data governance program. During this session we’ll cover topics like:
Delivery format: We’ll explore Azure Data Factory and how it integrates into Purview. We will also examine the Azure Data Share integration in Purview.
Simply cataloging your data doesn’t necessarily guarantee success. In order to succeed you need a good governance plan. During this session we’ll discuss:
