Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3ssplHS Establishing a Denodo capability in an organization has its technical considerations, but equally important is the people side. The Denodo Platform offers exciting possibilities for organizations. So much so that it can be a challenge to get alignment across the enterprise. There may be differing levels of knowledge about data virtualization, there may be perceived competing interests. But alignment is crucial for success. This talk will present some considerations to keep in mind when positioning Denodo's data virtualization platform in an enterprise's data strategy.

4. Introduction
• Tech is important, but
establishing Denodo has a
people side
• Exciting possibilities leads to
challenges in alignment

5. Everything To
Everybody?
• IT – a tool for the toolkit
• Security – a centralized control
mechanism
• Governance – an inventory of things
• Business – easier data access
• Leadership – a path to insight
They’re all right.

6. The Denodo Opportunity
• Huge opportunity to drive value at an
organization
• But we can’t just flip a switch
• How should we approach enablement?

7. Iterate!
• Can’t do it all in one go
• Pick a starting point, take it end to
end, establish the pattern
• Test, adjust, repeat

8. Develop a focused, yet ambitious scope
• Data virtualization can transform
multiple areas of an organization
• Scope for an iteration should be
achievable, and it should mean
something
• Focus on value delivery, not technical
features

9. Enable the
capability as a
partnership
• Partners across the
organization; not IT-led
• Business at table from day one
• Security, Infrastructure,
Governance

10. Integrate into your
enterprise context
• Don’t want to be seen as a rogue
capability
• Communicate intent, goals,
benefits
• Stakeholders need to understand
how Denodo fits into their world

11. Proactively address
security and
infrastructure concerns
• Work with the teams to understand their
priorities and concerns
• Leverage Denodo’s online resources
• Walk them through the case. Show their
concerns are addressed

12. Make it visible
• Don’t stop at Denodo. Bring in Tableau,
Power BI…
• Your use case should reflect data from a
variety of sources
• Make real something previously seen as
difficult

13. Get ready!
• Once the word gets out, there will be demand
• This is a governed capability
• Grow the capability organically

14. Summary
For a successful Denodo implementation:
• Everyone is at the table and up to speed
• Iterate and grow organically
• Communicate. Educate.
