09:30 Panel Discussion | Mastering Business Metadata and Providing Data Lineage

Metadata management is one of the pillars to the house of data management. A recent industry survey identified metadata management as an ongoing pain point for financial institutions. How can you better understand metadata and data lineage from the point of view and standpoint of the business? How do you peel back the onion and see lineage from the point of system of record and help the business to be the drivers of data?
Panelists will discuss:
• How to determine where business metadata needs to be deepest and most accurate
• How to make lineage more readable to auditors and downstream consumers
• How to build a sustainable set of roles, processes and a repository to maintain it and mature the data management organization
