IDMA 2023 Annual Conference

Functions such as data science and analytics offer opportunities to improve business decisions for any organization.  As the insurance industry explores and initiates a variety of digital transformation efforts, the need to include effective data management processes becomes increasingly apparent to support these initiatives.  Data management practices are key enablers of driving business value and facilitating successful digital transformation.  The combination of data management processes with targeted digital transformation initiatives allows an organization to advance from reactive procedures to proactive methods, enabling effective use of data to achieve business goals.  

Join us at the IDMA 2023 Annual Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 22-24.  Our conference connects data management professionals with their peers, showcases industry and data management experts along with partner organizations in a spirit of collaboration and professional development. Attendees gather to discuss issues, exchange ideas, improve their understanding of how data management can enable enterprise-wide digital transformation, and provide actionable business insights. 

Many organizations have focused mostly on technology implementations, to the detriment of the effective use of data to support business insights.  All organizations should adapt and evolve their data management practices and processes to address the needs of a 21^st century enterprise, including the core data management functions in their primary business activities.  Discovering how to implement common data management functions such as data governance, data quality management, enterprise data architecture, and master data management can improve the organization’s performance significantly.  Adding data literacy and data culture training and process support to support insurance personnel can enable all professionals the organization to understand the value of data and how they are also “data managers” – regardless of role or title.
