Data Management Summit 2022 Italy a not-to-be-missed event

Thanks to the partnership with SMI Technologies and Consulting , which became Venue Sponsor of the 2022 edition, the Data Management Summit landed for the first time in Rome. After Pavia, Milan, Valencia and Madrid, Rome is added to the cities that can boast an edition of the reference event of the Data Management world.

The Italian edition of the Data Management Summit 2022 will take place on July 7th at the SMI headquarters in EUR area, Via della Sierra Nevada, 60 - 00144 Rome. The event will take place in a very suggestive location, a deconsecrated church converted into a conference hall, close to the executive building, surrounded by a green area of over 10,000 sqm. Located in the EUR-Laurentina district, the building is in a strategic position: easily accessible by car or by public transport, but far from the traffic that characterizes the city. It is possible to arrive in a few minutes from the Laurentina metro station .?

DMS is an exclusive event to lead the Data Management community in the technology landscape, an open discussion forum to share experiences and use cases. A key summit for CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, BI Managers, Data Governance Officers, Data Scientists implementing emerging technologies to solve new technology challenges.

The Agenda

We are happy to announce that the institutional opening of the event will be taken care of by Francesco Bonfiglio , Gaia X CEO. This will be followed by different speeches from end companies and institutions such as ABI Lab .

In this edition we will have different speeches, a few dynamics and four very trendy round tables. The complete agenda is here .

The first is about “How Data Governance changes with the new open banking paradigm ” The new open banking environment is transforming the world of banking due to a new paradigm in which financial services operate in a fully digitized ecosystem. This has led to the complete reinvention of the practices and processes of traditional banking models. An epochal shift towards Open Business and the economy based on full interoperability and APIs, partly as a consequence of new regulations such as PSD2. The paradigm shift will generate new ways of approaching data governance, always more linked to full traceability of processes. Not only roles, definitions and metadata but also processes materialized over time to meet regulatory needs. The round table facilitated by Sofia D'Alessandro from Intesa Sanpaolo, with the participation of various national financial institutions such as Banco BPM, Intesa San Paolo, BNL and with the presence of Marco Rotoloni of ABI Lab (the laboratory of the Italian banking association).

Open Data

The other round table will be entitled: "How to accelerate the adoption of Open Linked Data in the public administration domain? ” It will be attended by different Open Data specialists and an important presence of the Italian public administration. At this panel will also be interesting to listen to Francesco Bonfiglio, CEO of Gaia X, to know first hand everything that is moving in the European Community on this topic.

Data Fabric vs Data Mesh

A real battle of vendors to know how to position themselves in front of these new architectural paradigms. We will have IBM, Irion, Denodo , Tibco and Oracle. The round table will be facilitated by Mauro Tuvo from Irion and DAMA Italy. The Data Mesh architecture pattern embraces data ubiquity by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. It is clear that who connects to these domains and their associated data assets must be a universal interoperability layer that applies the same syntax and data standards, driven by proactive metadata and master data management supported by an enterprise data catalog and its governance.

Data Fabric promotes a single unified data architecture with an integrated set of technologies and services, specifically designed to deliver integrated, rich, high-quality data, at the right time, in the right way, to the right data consumer.

Data Quality

The last Roundtable facilitated by Simona di Felice (Scai Group) is entitled “How to converge the differents data quality models? ”

Without quality data it is impossible to make decisions. There are different models and frameworks from DAMA to ISO. How to measure data quality, how to manage quality processes automatically, how to avoid Data Lake corruptions. Data Quality can be a horizontal process within the company?

Enrichment processes are the value attached to quality but how can we avoid the garbage in garbage out phenomenon? What to do with so much poor quality data.

We usually encounter these drawbacks: erroneous data that is not corrected, but recreated, the same data is entered in different systems, records created with erroneous or missing values, mismatches between data created in different systems causing additional work to be done downstream, erroneous data created during the transaction causing a subsequent action to correct or add data, latency problems between the creation of master and transaction data and its consumption by reporting and downstream applications.

How do you convince companies that the data quality lifecycle includes data death?? The GDPR instructs it… but does anyone put it into practice?

?How to attend

The event will start at 10.00 a.m. and will end at 6.00 pm CET on the basis of an "invitation only". It is expected to be attended by 60 people for the on-site event (with the express authorization of the organizers) and 100 places for the streaming broadcast. The DMS does not want to be a mass event and is not open to everyone, only to Dato professionals who can prove their relevance to this world. To apply, it is necessary to register on the following website: https://datamanagementsummit.org

DMS an unexpected journey

The event was born from the impulse of its founders at a time when the Data Management scene offered many events with more marketing or digital transformation oriented approaches. We at Synergo! were looking for a technical event to attend and support, when we saw that no event seemed to have this approach we talked to clients and vendors to see if there was a chance to fill this gap.? This all crystallized in 2018 with the first Data Management Summit at the Polytechnic University of Valencia on its Gandia campus. From there we achieved a brilliant 2019 edition "scaling" in Italy and this 2022 edition is one of the most important in the industry for content and professionals.

SMI: the Venue Partner

SMI Technologies and Consulting Srl was born from the initiative of professionals who decided to share experiences and passions in a new technologically advanced enterprise.

It offers consulting services in the design and implementation of IT infrastructures, and provides high quality system support. Besides experience and professionalism, it also guarantees the reliability of some of the most relevant companies in the IT world. SMI's consultancy in the design field guarantees the customer useful tools for the best management of projects and business processes.

"Thanks to the interest of SMI we were finally able to bring the Data Management Summit in Rome" said Michele Iurillo Founder of DMS "Rome joins the other capitals that can count on an edition of the event, we are pleased to count with a reference partner as SMI has always been engaged in the world of data".

"Data quality is an essential feature that determines the reliability of any process. Data is the energy source of the future, the raw material on which economies will be based, being able to manage it, analyze it and make it usable in a safe and qualitative way is the real challenge in the near future" said Cesare Pizzuto CEO SMI Technologies and Consulting.

About DMS

From the beginning, we decided not to fall into the patterns of other events of these characteristics, hence the creation of what we internally call the "DMS Dogmas". Which essentially are these:

Technical event: The event has a technical focus and therefore we select the audience in a rigorous way by checking one by one the profiles of the people registered (that's why we call them candidates) and we do it by checking their Linkedin profile so it is mandatory to enter it when registering for the event. Only those who register will be able to enjoy the event and all the material presented.

Free Event: We do not want DMS to be a paid event. The business model is based on the participation of sponsors who bear the costs of the event, including Synergo! which provides the work done by the organization.?

Interventions from companies only: We don't allow interventions from vendors, solution providers and consultants (unless they introduce some general interest topic and do training). We don't want "evangelists", we think for this type of technical event it's not necessary. Sponsors can suggest a client company to give a speech, but vendor presentations are not allowed. Vendors can be an active part of panel discussions, as it is interesting to learn about the approach to trends and the future of the data world.

Agnostic approach: We think that in this kind of event it doesn't make sense to talk about technology, but rather about solutions, ideas, experiences. That's why our approach is technology agnostic.

Alignment with DAMA: We believe in the DAMA-I Framework and our event, even if it is not a DAMA event, has a close relationship, many associates of DAMA Spain, Latam and Italy actively participate in the good development of the event.

Group dynamics: Since the first edition has been the most important moment of the event as we give the protagonism to the assistants who actively participate in the generation of a kind of collective knowledge.?
