Utilizing a Hub-n-Spoke Data Architecture Across the Enterprise

This session will describe OneAmerica's evolution of an initial MDM program into a much broader Hub-n-Spoke data sharing environment: how we started, discoveries made, approaches enhanced, what worked, what didn't, and the path ahead of us.

Discussion topics include:

The Early Years (initial MDM project, focus and sponsorship)
The Realization (sharing data across the Enterprise)
The Artifacts (design approach, common data & integration patterns)
The Success & Struggle (effect on the Enterprise, culture and organization)
The Look Ahead (keep moving forward, still much to do)

Regardless of the approach used within your organization, perhaps this presentation will provide a few ideas to help you along your data management journey.
