Data Architecture for Business Value

Traditional approaches to Enterprise and Data Architecture often focus on business and IT issues, but fail to address the critical component of value creation. Zjaen Coetzee's presentation shifts the conversation towards how Data Architecture can directly drive business value. It examines leading practices in Data Architecture, as well as the gaps and challenges that many organisations face when trying to unlock value from their data. A key highlight is the introduction of a new role—the Data Value Architect—which goes beyond traditional data management to focus on delivering value as a key outcome of architecting the data landscape.
