Webinar – Data as an Asset – Mapping infrastructure management principles to datasets

by | Aug 15, 2023

Data is increasingly being recognized as a valuable commodity that supports an increasing variety of business functions. However, while it has become well recognized that good management of our ‘hard’ infrastructure benefits from the application of asset management principles, the concept of data (in all its many varieties) as an infrastructure asset to be managed is still developing.

In this webinar, we explore the nature of data as an infrastructure asset, and how traditional asset management concepts such as value, level-of-service and expected life can be adapted to this novel asset class. Additionally, we discuss the distinction between management of data storage (which can be considered tangible) from management of the underlying, intangible, data itself.
