Gartner, Inc. is accepting nominations for the fifth annual Gartner
Enterprise Information and Master Data Management (MDM) Excellence
Awards. Nominations will be accepted until January 24, 2014 via the
online entry form found here.
The winner will be announced at the Gartner Enterprise Information and
Master Data Management Summit in April and the three finalists will have
the opportunity to present their case studies during the summit. This
award program highlights world-class Enterprise Information Management
(EIM) initiatives and shares successes, challenges and insights within
the space.
Entries will be reviewed by the Gartner Analyst Community who will
assess the EIM initiative against Gartner's Seven Building Blocks of
MDM. Applicants should use this framework to describe their EIM
initiative and highlight why it demonstrates EIM Excellence. Gartner's
seven building blocks of MDM framework describe the essential elements
that organizations need to address in an EIM program. Striking the right
balance between technology and governance, as well as ensuring that the
EIM strategy aligns with the business vision and can be measured via a
set of metrics, is key to success. The seven building blocks of all EIM
include:
-
Vision
-
Strategy
-
Metrics
-
Governance
-
Organization
-
Information Lifecycle
-
Information Infrastructure
The identification of a Gartner Award winner or finalist is not an
endorsement by Gartner of any vendor, product or service.
