Master Data Management with SQL Server 2016 MDS

According to the Top Business Intelligence Trends 2018 survey by BI-Survey.com and based on feedback from over 2,000 BI professions, the top BI trend this year is Master Data/Data Quality Management. Having consulted with a large insurance company on master data management with SQL Server 2016 for years, Neal Waterstreet has plenty of best practices to share on this topic, so join his session at 8:30 AM.

Want to know the position Master Data Management and MDS play in an organization’s overall data strategy? We’ll review the key concepts and the different roles and responsibilities to help you get your organization moving forward with MDM. We’ll then take a look at the features of SQL Server 2016 MDS that make it an excellent tool for MDM. This demo-packed presentation will cover architecture and installation, different ways of processing data, hierarchies, security and many other features that will get you up and running with MDS.
