One of the highest priorities in organisations today is to address the issue of untrusted data to avoid the problem of ‘Garbage in, garbage out’. Untrusted data leads to inaccurate predictions, recommendations, reports and dashboards. Instead they want to ‘design in’ data governance, improve agility in data preparation and reuse of data assets to maximise business value. In order to do that companies are rethinking their data strategy and looking at creating a data lake, and a standard component based data curation process to create trusted data assets and make them available as a service in an internal enterprise data marketplace so that it is easy to find, access, share and reuse across the enterprise. This session looks at building an enterprise data marketplace and the challenges in managing and operating one.
