In today's fast-paced world of technological advancement, data management is the essential foundation upon which effective configuration management is built. As we'll explore in this webinar, Data Management and Configuration Management are partners working together to ensure our product information is accurate, accessible, and reliable throughout its entire lifecycle. Data Management focuses on the information itself: identifying, defining, verifying, and validating data requirements, then creating, organizing, securing, and ensuring the quality of that data. Configuration Management focuses on the environment where that information lives and how it's controlled – the software, systems, and processes we use.
We'll delve into the symbiotic relationship where a well-managed configuration management program ensures consistent access to the right data at the right time ensuring that good Data Management provides the high-quality data needed to improve our processes and make better decisions about our products. They work hand-in-hand: clean data in a well-managed environment allows us to build, deploy, and support our products effectively.
