 Hello and and welcome to the DataVersity Insider Experience, exploring your member benefits webinar. I am your host, Cassie Riondo. I'm so excited to share the DataVersity Insider program and to show you how we can help you grow your skill set and expand your knowledge as a data management professional. So thanks again for joining us and let's get started. Our agenda today includes who is DataVersity, learn more about who we are and what we do. Many of you might be joining us because you have participated in other trainings or events or maybe you're completely new here and you just want to see everything that we have to offer. We'll also cover what an insider is. You'll learn about our subscription options and which one might be the best fit for you. We will cover trends in data management. Businesses need professionals knowledgeable about data, whether your role is data focused or not. Lastly, how to become an insider. So you'll learn more about the perks of becoming an insider and how to make the most of your subscription. At DataVersity, our mission is to provide the single best source of education for anyone working in data in their professional life. And how do we do that? Well, we bring you live in person conferences such as data governance information and quality and enterprise data work world twice a year. We have our interactive online conferences such as enterprise analytics online, data architecture online and enterprise data governance online. You may also be familiar with some of our other free resources such as our white papers, our webinars, the my career and data podcast and our trade journal. And lastly, but certainly not least, our DataVersity Training Center. So here is where you'll find comprehensive on demand and live online training, and most importantly, where you'll gain access as an insider. So now that you know a little bit more about DataVersity as a whole. Let's dig in to what exactly is an insider. So starters are a group of learners taking advantage of our unlimited on demand catalog, special content and exclusive discounts. Sounds pretty great, right? Well, all of this to say is that we understand the impact of quality professional training that you can put into practice. We also understand that most of you have busy professional and personal lives. So with that in mind, we bring you the insider experience through one of our three subscription options, the essential professional or the elite subscription. So essentially as an insider with DataVersity, you get more. Now that you know a little bit more about what an insider is, it's important to discuss why we've created the program. And that starts with leading the way with data. The data management landscape is becoming vastly more important as organizations and businesses continue to make data governance initiatives a priority, which is likely why many of you are joining us today. So as an insider, you'll be equipped with the right tools in one place to meet the challenges and the demands of all types of industries across the globe. Great. So what does that mean for me, right? So essentially, we start with data. So, citing our 2022 trends in data management, we have found from 181 participants surveyed and from 35 countries and over 32 industries that organizations are focusing their efforts on becoming more data driven due to high demand for leveraging data. No surprise there. Even those that don't work directly in data know how important it is. So, as you can see here, over the next two years, 58% of those surveyed are looking to start a data governance program. And 55% are looking to start a data quality program. And 49% are looking to start a metadata management program. The numbers are pretty staggering that there's still so many organizations looking to start these programs. And yet many are still struggling to find the right training to be able to meet this call to action. So, I ask you this, how are you expanding your skills and preparing to tackle the ever changing landscape. And maybe this is the first step in that process, or maybe you've already started and you really want to know how to maximize this experience so this is a great place to start. It's pretty fair to say up until now we the collective data management field has been missing one great spot for all data management education resources. Look no further. Save yourself and your organization, the hassle and put that time and effort into your business goals and let diversity do the heavy lifting with our subscriptions and dedicated training center team. We have the resources and the platform to yield effective and obtainable results. We have over 160 courses and growing monthly, including 25 learning plans taught by industry experts. We have the most up to date trends and data management through our webinars, white papers, podcasts and product demos. Plus recommended reading reading to further expand your knowledge and expertise. And as an insider, you have all of this right at your fingertips. So the benefits don't just stop at the on demand training and access to exclusive content. You'll also enjoy discounts on our very popular live online training courses where you'll learn from industry leading experts participate in live breakout sessions with industry members alike. And also as an insider, you'll receive discounts on face to face conferences, such as Enterprise Data World and DGI Q. And it's always nice to put a face to a name so if you do attend one of our face to face conferences come to the booth and say hello. And we also want to ensure you can keep up with your CEUs. And so all of our training courses come with a number of completed hours and certificates of completion. Excellent training starts with excellent instructors and subject matter experts. And this is just a small sampling of who we work with. However, instructors come with decades of combined experience and strategy government governance architecture quality, and so much more. And from dozens of live online masterclasses held each year to our robust on demand library, you are in good hands with the industry's best, and I mean the best leading the way. I think our insider content is easy. So whether you're new to the Dataverse training center or you're a frequent learner, you can preview the content available in the insider content tab. And I'm going to do you one better right now I'm just going to show you a brief demo of our training center so you can see a little bit how it works and how to access your content. If you're new to our training center. When you log in as a user, this is the dashboard that you will be greeted with. When you scroll down through your dashboard, there's a section for tracking your progress, you can see any of the courses that you've started any of the events or learning plans completed. You can even pull up your certificates from this section as well. And below that is your content so everything that's accessible to you depending on the subscription level that you choose. You'll find here on the left hand side we sort by data topics course type instructors, and most importantly here is the insider content. You'll find your exclusive discounts case studies are conference sessions, which are very popular, our podcast product demos and our webinar. So as you can see it's pretty easy to find your content as an insider and to access it. And since our catalog is so robust. Sometimes you just don't know where to start. You need a little guidance. We have a great solution in the form of learning paths. A learning path is a collection of learning plans to create a cohesive and comprehensive structure to your training. Typically, it's persona or skill experience level base, but there might be some nuance to that. Learning paths can be customized or you can choose one of our pre selected options based on specific skill set or role. And rest assured that a member of our training team is here to help you stay on track and achieve your goals so you can always reach out and, you know, ask any questions or get some guidance on which might be the best fit for you. So speaking of goals, we have many people and insiders come to us seeking solutions for either filling a skills gap or upskilling themselves or a team. They often come to us feeling confused or frustrated and trying to find the fit that's going to meet their unique challenges. What they find when they work directly with diversity is they aren't alone and oftentimes we have experience working with those unique training needs. For instance, we'll have somebody like Tim here who's new to his data quality director role. As we know, many organizations are implementing these programs, but he's having a hard time finding solutions for his training needs because he not only needs to improve the quality for the organization, but it requires him to really change the cultural understanding of how quality data is used to impact the needs of the organization overall. Whether it's for R&D, investor profit, supply chain efficiencies, or even customer service. And none of this is done overnight or in a vacuum, which I'm sure many of you can relate to. He also doesn't really have the time to spend parsing together his own training or identifying numerous options for his team. So when Tim chooses data diversity, he gets the training he needs from instructors who have real life experience with these challenges at the pace he needs and with the support he needs. So when all these things come together, not only does Tim succeed, but the organization and all that are involved benefit. So hooray Tim and team. So now that you have heard a little bit more about what an insider is, I'm sure you're wondering how do you become one.
