#BigDataMgmt chat - Evolving integration and governance for the era of big data
#bigdatamgmt chat – Wednesday, February 19 – 12 p.m. EST & 5 p.m. GMT
As the world becomes more interconnected and more data are gathered, the opportunity for gaffes in handling and using that data increases dramatically. Rarely does a month go by without hearing of some misuse of data. These issues hurt an organization’s reputation and contribute to a lack of trust in the analytics built on that data.
These are some of the issues we will discuss in this #bigdatamgmt chat titled, “Evolving Integration and Governance for the Era of Big Data.” Our special guests for the chat are Tim Crawford (@tcrawford), an internationally renowned executive information technology thought leader in the areas of IT transformation, innovation and cloud computing; and Jim Harris (@ocdqblog), founder of Obsessive-Compulsive Data Quality and independent consultant, speaker and writer.
Also joining will be IBM subject matter experts David Corrigan (@dcorrigan), director of product marketing for IBM InfoSphere, and James Kobielus, IBM big data evangelist, speaker and writer.
You can follow along—and join the discussion using the hashtag #BigDataMgmt. Here are the questions we’ll be discussing as well as reference articles to help inspire the conversation on Wednesday, February 5, 12:00 p.m. EST.
- Do you think there is or will be a backlash on how freely organizations can use data?
- How much time do organizations waste in finding and trying to understand their data?
- How confident are organizations in their existing data? Does confidence level affect adoption of big data & analytics projects?

- What are some common reasons why organizations lack confidence in their data?
- How can technology for information integration and governance help raise confidence in big data?
