Further information

Data catalogs have become essential tools for organizations seeking to better manage, discover, and govern their data assets. While some see them as silver bullets for all data challenges, the reality is more complex.

In this webinar, we will explore the current expectations vs. the actual capabilities of data catalogs. We will clarify what a data catalog truly is, what it is not, and the realistic outcomes you can expect. We will highlight the true value of data catalogs, including their role in enhancing data discovery, collaboration, governance and supporting data access.

This session will provide practical insights on how to set realistic goals to maximize the business value pulled out of data catalog investments.

Here is some guidance:

  • If your company does not offer software consulting or solutions, and the use of one or more software solutions (e.g., BI or ECM solutions) is either part of your everyday work or in the pipeline, then please select the option "work for a software user company" regardless of your industry sector or company size.
  • Do you work for a company that offers software solutions (e.g., BI or ECM solutions)? Then please select "work for a software provider".
  • If your company offers IT/software consulting or services, then "work for an IT service provider/consulting firm" is the right choice.
  • Do you work or study in an educational institution such as a university or a research institute? Then choose "work/study in an educational institution".
  • Do you work as an IT journalist and write technical articles, features, blogs etc. for media companies? Then please click on "work as a journalist".

  3. Are BARC’s email sending domains blocked in your company? This could be the case if your colleagues do not receive BARC mailings either. Please ask your IT/email team to add BARC's email sending domain to their allowlist. This will enable you to receive emails from BARC. That wasn't the problem either? Then off to step 4.
