 versity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=162&proposalid=15723\nFor federal agencie
 s, challenges abound in knowing how to pick a data governance tool that inc
 ludes a data catalog and a workflow engine for automating appropriate stewa
 rdship activities and enabling governance processes. Come and hear how
  one federal agency was able to select, understand, install, and configure 
 a tool in less than a year, and achieve an initial operating capability for
  every program office soon thereafter, all on a small budget and with a sma
 ll dedicated team of data management professionals. Hear about how the Fede
 ral Energy Regulatory Commission was able to:\n\n
 Find a user-oriented cloud SaaS solution with robust connectors capable of 
 harvesting technical metadata from source data stores for a reasonable pric
 e through solid market research, well-structured demos, and practical evalu
 ation criteria.\n
 Avoid common pitfalls in data cataloging implementation, particularly by fo
 cusing on an ability to establish, grow, and steward the data asset invento
 ry from a business perspective through a highly flexible metamodel that is 
 easy to modify, test, and deploy – understanding the difference betwe
 en your organization's logical and physical data layers.\n
 Understand the cloud data platform environment and the need for a "cen
 tral nervous system" in the data governance tool using APIs, active me
 tadata, and workflow triggers to ensure a robust circuitry of cloud data go
 vernance activities across data lakes, analytic engines like Databricks and
  Synapse, and end-user tools like PowerBI and Posit.\n
 Orient the establishment of the new tool and the activation of users toward
  a data stewardship maturation program as the foundation of a major culture
  shift around how regulatory mission practitioners think about data, descri
 be and contextualize it, and share it in a way that saves staff time for mo
 re mission-focused work capacity.\n
 Lastly, accelerate modernizations across operational systems, submissions a
 nd filings from the public, and formats and context of collected informatio
 n that better situates the agency for task automation, AI-enhanced informat
 ion analysis, and additional operational efficiencies and cost-savings.\n\n
 While still only 2 years into the data governance tool journey, the Federal
  Energy Regulatory Commission's game plan is clear and gaining momentum
  for transforming our organizational data culture, democratizing data 
 access and analytical power for our internal staff, delivering regulatory o
 utcomes that support the US energy sector, and even delivering more relevan
 t and insightful data to the public. And, we are here to tell you, &qu
 ot;You can do it too."\n
