Abstract
This presentation provides guidance to organizations wanting
to increase the maturity of their data management (DM) practices.
Increasing DM maturity levels will positively impact the
coordination among organizations, individuals, and systems.
Project has assessed the maturity of more than 200
self-reported organizational DM practices. Using an SEI/CMMI
derived process-improvement framework, the assessment
highlights:
1)
various stages of DM maturity;
2)
relatively weak and strong DM practice areas; and
3)
DM community implications.
Results indicate the approach's utility; they also indicate
that a wide range exists in the current DM state-of-the-practice;
and point out a road map for suggesting
improvements.
Dr.
Peter Aiken is the founding director of Data Blueprint and
an Associate Professor of Information Systems at Virginia
Commonwealth University. He has more than 20 years of
business/information technology experience. Between 1989-1993 he was
the Director of a research laboratory at George Mason University
where he supervised research into systems and requirements
engineering. In 1992 he was recruited by the Department of Defense
to work in the Center for Information Management's (CIM) Information
Engineering Directorate. From 1992-1997 he held the position of
Computer Scientist, most recently with the Office of the CIO. At
CIM, he directed a multimillion-dollar DoD-wide reverse engineering
program aimed at recovering data architectures. He also participated
in the development of a DoD-wide strategic level data model and data
engineering efforts. He has assisted a number of organizations with
their data management strategies and systems initiatives. These
results have been reported in publications ranging from the
Communications of the ACM to the IBM Systems Journal to
InformationWEEK and five books including Data Reverse Engineering
and (with Clive Finkelstein) Building Corporate Portals Using XML
(McGraw-Hill 1996/99). Dr. Aiken's achievements have resulted in
recognition in Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in
American Education and other biographical compilations. He is the
recipient of the 2001 DAMA International Achievement Award (with Ted
Codd). His clear and concise presentation style make him a sought
after speaker and he has spoken at numerous international
conferences and events.
