Learn the first steps in getting control of your data assets. The data held by your company is probably its most valuable, yet intangible, asset. Many organizations have a fragmented understanding of what their data assets are, where they are, how good they, and how they are used. As a result, data can be lost or duplicated unknowingly. This presentation explores ways to create a formal inventory of the data files and databases which are essential for running the company. This allows managers to get a handle on data that was previously unmanaged and unprotected.
