On the 28th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) changed the data privacy landscape forever. What most organisations failed to grasp when the regulation came into force, was that GDPR should not have been viewed as a burden or to have been treated as a tick-box exercise. It was an opportunity to extract mandatory regulatory budget and use it to elevate and transform organisations’ data capabilities. Turning the 4% of the global turnover stick into the carrot to lead the organisations’ data journeys forward.

We're proud to announce that Solidatus has once again been shortlisted for three awards in the A-Team Data Management Insight Awards 2019 alongside some of the largest and best known companies in the field:

“Regulators and industry participants are leveraging data more comprehensively than ever, so it’s imperative that they have the necessary modeling tools to analyse it in order to make informed decisions,” Philip Dutton, Co-Founder of Solidatus.

Solidatus is committed to helping shape the future of data engineering, data management and data governance. Data engineering must evolve if it is to reach its full potential, much like other engineering disciplines have. With the exponential growth in data and the systems that hold it, data management is critical to ensuring standards are defined and structures implemented to support the ever-increasing rate of change. Without control and good governance, the already massively complex interconnectivity of systems will cause organisational paralysis without an urgent paradigm shift.

NEW YORK and LONDON - September 26, 2019 - EDM Council, the cross-industry trade association for data management, has partnered with Solidatus, the leading data lineage and business relationship modeling solution, to provide EDM Council members with a DCAM^® (Data Management Capability Assessment Model) Knowledge Modeling tool. The models enable chief data officers and their organisations to more effectively manage their data supply chain and conform with regulatory, data privacy and other business process requirements. Consequently, this enables companies to deliver their data management capability road-map while accelerating value delivery from their data assets.

Last month I was invited to present during BrightTalk’s Data Management and Analytics in Financial Services Summit. They asked me to speak about Identity and Access Management and showcase how technology is enabling financial institutions to reduce risk and improve compliance while managing sensitive data.
