​New office expansion in Europe enables ValidDatum to accelerate global growth with GDPR Compliance professional services offering.

BOSTON, MA, September 5, 2018 – ValidDatum, an emerging provider of consulting and data related services for global companies, recently announced plans for the opening of a new office in London to accommodate rapid growth and leverage the more mature EU Data Privacy professional talent pool. The new London office will be led by ValidDatum’s new EU Managing Director, Chris Morecroft, who is a GDPR specialist and a certified Data Protection Officer (DPO) with deep experience in the Banking and Insurance sectors.

“The decision to expand our presence into the EU was a logical step in our business growth strategy,” said Daryl Crockett, president and CEO. “The EU is well ahead of the US and the rest of the world in the maturity of Data Privacy concepts and compliance. The wider availability of UK professionals skilled in GDPR and Data Privacy concepts is very attractive to our global growth model. When we combine that new EU based customer-facing Data Privacy leadership talent with ValidDatum’s existing global talent pool experienced in data discovery, data mapping and systems implementation, we have a winning combination of resources necessary to assist mid-and large-size companies in the methodical data discovery, documentation and privacy compliance of their data. We believe there is still a lot of opportunity in the EU on GDPR compliance. And with the passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and potential for US federal legislation, ValidDatum sees opportunity for significant growth in the services side of the Data Privacy Compliance in North America and Asia.”

The Role and Benefits of Data Validation in Supply Chain Optimization

•  An information-packed tutorial on the fundamental principles of information and data quality for preparation for ISO 8000 MDQM Certification and/or to gain a better understanding of emerging global corporate trends in cataloging, and master data quality and validation. ISO 8000 is the recognized international standard for measuring data quality. It is responsible for defining quality data as “portable data that meets requirements”. What exactly does this mean and how can you use ISO 8000 to measure the quality of your data? Better still how can ISO 8000 help you improve the quality of your data and how can you use ISO 8000 to get better quality data from your trading partners?  This is a tutorial on the fundamental principles of information and data quality in general and specifically as they apply to master data. This tutorial covers the curriculum required for certification by ECCMA as an ISO 8000 Master Data Quality Manager (MDQM). It will also teach you how to build a corporate dictionary and how to create the all important data requirements that you can use to measure and improve the quality of your master data.

ISO 8000 Data Quality Certification Workshop

• While there is much focus these days on data quality rules and technological solutions for master data governance, we will explore a rarely discussed (but highly beneficial) practice of external validation of buy-side supply chain master data. In this session, we will do a deep dive into the specifics of:

            -- Distinguishing between internal and external validation and the best indicated use of each
            -- Understanding the different methods, costs and benefits of external and third-party supply chain master data validation
            -- Review of a phased data governance implementation plan approach which includes data validation
