Session Overview
“If you don't like change, you're going to like irrelevance even less." General Eric Shinseki. Change is coming and coming fast. The next transformation for value add is almost upon us and you are witnessing this with the success of Wikipedia, YouTube, Weblogs, Flickr, etc. The transformation from a command and control mindset that described Enterprise 0.0 to the open consumption model of Enterprise 1.0 is almost complete. The phase, where content is created in collaborative manner, is starting to take roots inside the corporation (Enterprise 2.0). The Web 2.0 environment can provide you new tools and skills so you can solve real business problems in a cost effective manner by enabling the network effect, mass participation, and agility that is inherent with this type of technology.

Are we, as data professionals, ready for this transformation? Do we understand the impact this technology will have to our value-add equation? Are we ready to move Data Management back into its rightful place at the top of the Information Technology food chain? This session will review these questions and present real world answers based on a Fortune 500 case study. You know of our success in Metadata Management over the past 8 years, now see how we have taken this new technology and transformed it into the business of collaboration.
