Session 4: The Importance of Cross-System Data Analysis
                  for Complex MDM Projects
                 
                  Dawn Larma, Senior Technology Manager

Thursday, April 17, 2pm ET

Dawn Larma was a vice president and senior technology manager in the IT organization for one of the top five commercial banks in the US.  She was responsible for a large MDM project to drive consistency across 24 different IT asset management systems which managed millions of individual devices over a massive worldwide network.  The objective of the project was to align the 24 systems covering hundreds of overlapping attributes and eliminate the overlap, which was expected to save the bank over $40MM.  

 

Dawn will talk about the level of complexity involved in the project, the roadblocks the team faced, the different approaches they considered, some of the technology choices they made and the importance that good cross-system data analysis plays in the success of a complex MDM or data consolidation project.
