This presentation will focus on the implementation strategy for managing an
organization's information and will address the following issues:
  - What is a Strategic Data Architecture?
  - What is "Data Warehousing" and how can it be used to deliver a Strategic
    Data Architecture?
  - By what methods can an organization consolidate its information to
    optimize the use of data warehousing?
 
This presentation will also illustrate how IRM groups can obtain executive
endorsement by fostering a more complete understanding of the benefits data
warehousing provides to the organization.
 
An actual implementation will be presented to illustrate how the strategies
listed above were used to choose the tools, overcome the pitalls encountered
and ensure the successful implementation of a strategic data architecture that
will grow with the organization's needs.
 
In the discussion period following the presentation, users who have specific
data warehousing issues will be asked to present the problem for group
discussion and resolution.

The Information Resource Management Association of Canada is dedicated to
keeping information management professionals abreast of recent industry trends
and local accomplishments.  It is a non-profit association with chapters in
several Canadian cities, including Ottawa, Toronto and Victoria.
 
IRMAC Ottawa holds monthly sessions to raise awareness of technical issues and
explore the practical application of information resource management tools and
techniques as well as an opportunity for professionals to meet and discuss
information resource management issues.
 
We ask speakers to focus mainly on generic issues, techniques and practices,
as opposed to giving marketing presentations on specific products.
 
             Typical time table:
  9:00-10:00 a.m.: Presentation, part 1;
 10:00-10:15 a.m. (approx.): Coffee break;
 10:15-11:00 a.m. (approx.): Presentation , part 2; and,
 11:00-12:00 p.m.: Questions, discussions.
 
IRMAC has about 80 members in the Ottawa area, mostly Data Base
Administrators, Data Administrators, and system/data modellers. We have been
going since about 1989.
 
The cost is minimal, the material exciting, and the comradeship unequalled. So
take a morning out of your work, (or your holidays), bring your $15, and have
a coffee and a danish, listen to our speaker(s), and join in the debate.
