Data as a Capital Asset: Are You Ready to Monetize Your Data?

Everyone thinks of their data as an asset, especially in our digital economy. But this is typically unclear and undefined, or at best, inconsistent. The Digital Isle of Man, in partnership with EDM Association, is creating the world’s first initiative to solve this problem for organizations around the world. This innovative program, the Data Asset Foundation, is developing the legal and regulatory framework for defining data as an asset and determining its monetary value, allowing organizations to govern, grow, share and ultimately value their data as a true asset, even on their balance sheets.

Join this webinar to learn about:

  • The objectives, commercial benefits for corporations, and opportunities for the Data Asset Foundation initiative
  • The pathway to its development, including its legislative progress, the evolution from Data Cos (data companies), its current development status, and upcoming milestones
  • Use cases across multiple industries – including financial services, healthcare and AI
  • The 2025 Data Asset Foundation pilot program and how to get involved as an early participant to help shape this innovation and drive the digital economy

Navigating Data Integrity in Enterprise Migrations: Lessons from SAP Transformation

Data quality is one of the most persistent challenges in large-scale SAP S/4HANA migrations, as noted in the SAPinsider Benchmark report. A key part of the process involves identifying critical data to migrate, addressing inconsistent data sources, and aligning information across functions to support reliable reporting and analytics.

In this session, Kyndryl speakers will share their insights on business decision-making needs, identifying the right data sets to migrate with a structured framework, and orchestrating and managing data decisions.

Drawing from their extensive experience, our speakers will walk you through the processes and tools that have shaped their approach, offering practical steps to improve data quality, manage complexity, and create more consistent data flows across systems.

Discussion topics will include:

  • Data-centricity as a Foundation: The role of data accessibility and alignment across business processes in supporting operational consistency.
  • Migration Process and Validation: Techniques used for data integration, quality checks, and validation, with an emphasis on repeatability and transparency.
