Informatica Seminar Highlights
Homeland Security
Informatica Corporation, the leading provider of business analytics
software,
announced it is hosting a seminar on metadata architectures and implementation
strategies for federal and state agencies. Featuring Enterprise Warehousing
Solutions, one of the foremost authorities on metadata, this half-day seminar
will take place on March 18, 2003 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Hyatt
Regency, Washington D.C. on Capital Hill.
Informatica, Enterprise Warehousing Solutions and Federal Computer Week
will
provide attendees with strategies for implementing metadata architectures, and
discuss the critical role metadata management plays within homeland security,
e-government, and other data integration efforts.
"Metadata is the key for government agencies looking to improve information
sharing," said David Marco, president of Enterprise Warehousing Solutions,
Inc. "With the assistance of metadata, agency users can spend more time
analyzing information and less time searching for it -- which is vital in
today's e-government and homeland-security initiatives.

This seminar will use real-world case studies, leveraging the lessons
learned
on these projects through team interaction to provide attendees with a full
life-cycle strategy and methodology for defining metadata requirements,
capturing/integrating metadata, and accessing the metadata repository."
Topics covered in this seminar will include industry best practices for
metadata management, real-world metadata-repository case studies, overcoming
implementation challenges, the future direction of metadata, how to tie data
warehouse architectures to the metadata repository architecture, and XML's
impact on metadata.
"As the industry's leading data integration vendor with a strong presence
in
the public-sector market, Informatica developed this seminar to help shed
light on the pivotal role metadata plays in creating successful data-
integration implementations," said Sanjay Poonen, vice president of worldwide
marketing, Informatica. "We are pleased to team with one of the foremost
authorities on metadata, David Marco, as well as the top government
publication, Federal Computer Week, to help educate government organizations
on the benefits of metadata.
Added Poonen, "As noted in a past Federal Computer Week article, a top
challenge for the government's efforts to derive more value from the data it
collects -- through better analysis and sharing -- is ensuring that
information in agency repositories is consistent, current, and comprehensible
to users and programmers. Agencies are finding that one way to attain this
goal is by tapping the benefits of metadata."
Federal Computer Week recently ranked Informatica as one of the "ten hot
companies to watch" providing homeland security solutions. Informatica public-
sector customers include nearly all cabinet-level federal agencies and more
than 75 public-sector organizations including the Colorado Department of
Corrections, Commonwealth of Kentucky, Denver Water Board, the IRS, Navy Fleet
Material Support Office (FMSO), State of New York, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army,
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Postal Service.
