Mark A. BeyerMore information and faster decisions do not go together. Without the ability to get the right information to decision makers as quickly as possible, organizations will continue to struggle with information glut. Organizations recognize that metadata is the key to guiding analysis to use the correct and most effective information — but most organizations lack an effective strategy for collecting, reading and utilizing metadata. In this presentation, Gartner will present some of the emerging strategies for using metadata to push and pull the right information to the right decisions makers at the right time.
Key Issues:
  • How does metadata improve decision making?
  • What are the common gaps in metadata management and utilization strategies?
  • What tools are available to improve the quality and quantity of metadata in the organization?
