The analyst keynote: "Benchmarking Data Governance" will be presented by Andy Hayler, president and CEO of The Information Difference. Andy will call upon in-depth data governance research, covering 134 organisations, to answer key questions concerning the costs of data governance, the benefits that can be expected and what are the best practices. From this research, he will also reveal some of the behaviours that lead to program success and what pitfalls can lead to failure.

Additional sessions offer delegates a great opportunity to:

• Understand how to ensure business value from data quality and data governance programmes
• Witness the latest developments to the Trillium Software System
• Attend training sessions, including a technical forum on migrating from earlier versions
• Pose more in-depth questions to a panel of experts

This year, there will be a strong focus on delivering business benefit from enterprise-wide data governance as well as compliance with the demands of regulatory authorities. Around 100 customer delegates are forecast to attend.

"The quality, reliability, security, accessibility, and usability of company data has a critical role to play in the effectiveness of today's organisations," said John Nicoli, managing director, Harte-Hanks Trillium Software.
