The Data Administration: essential foundation for effective data management

Organisations increasingly rely on data but often lack a clear understanding of what they actually manage: insight is missing, datasets are poorly mapped, and metadata is scattered. A solid data administration provides structure and clarity. In this session, you will discover why this foundation is indispensable — and how to build it in practice.

Topics covered in this session:

• Why a Data Administration is just as essential as financial bookkeeping
• How to design a clear, organisation-wide metamodel
• Practical setup of processes, roles, and governance
• How tools (catalogs, metadata platforms) actually work — and when they don’t
• Starting step by step: from use-case-driven approach to sustainable implementation.
