11:05 Panel Discussion | Mastering Data Lineage As a Mechanism to Quickly Adapt to Change

Data leaders are challenged with the ability to cope with constant change while balancing current regulatory requirements and maintaining sustainable growth. It’s a given that the global regulatory environment can be characterized by change and 2016 brought about major political events that will further impact future regulations, from Brexit to the new Administration in the US. How can you adapt quickly to change while still having good visibility of risk exposure? How do you account for transparency of data? How will data lineage be used in the future and by consumers? Panelists will discuss data lineage strategies to help data management organizations remain nimble and transparent, including:
• Automation and traceability throughout the project lifecycle
• Determining levels that are important, what each level provides and how to present it
• Maintaining, gathering and keeping data lineage up-to-date and verifiable
