Transformation Happy Hour:
Data Governance and Retail Master Data

With technology moving at lightning speed, proper management of master data is critical to fully take advantage of new tech innovations. Yet, many retailers struggle with master data management and data governance.

Hosted by master data experts and retail veterans, Deanna Emsley, Heidi Csencsits, and Rob Gentry, our June 29 Talk Retail to Me Transformation Happy Hour took a dive deep into the most pressing master data challenges Parker Avery’s clients and other retailers are facing.

Our happy hour hosts provided a brief overview of master data challenges and the implications of not having a planful approach and data governance in place. Most of the happy hour was spent answering questions and having an open dialog with participants.
