DAMA UKDAMA UK LTD originated from a challenge by Mike Brackett (former president of DAMA International) to set up a UK Chapter of the organisation. In November 2002, this challenge was taken to task by the Founder Members who by, January 2003 had begun to organise the first meeting for 1 April 2003. No April Fool's though, the inaugural event was well attended and a great success. DAMA UK has grown from strength to strength ever since. DAMA UK now has an operational committee, a growing membership, strong support from sponsors, an established series of one day events furthermore, the organisation receives recognition from key companies and organisations in the field.
Our MissionThe drive for the future is to successfully focus on providing quality support to core members whilst guaranteeing sufficient financial income to ensure sustained activity. The four areas which DAMA UK recommends addressing over the next two years are: Academic - to survey UK organisations to understand their Data Management skill set needs and then induce academic institutions to supply them. Data Quality (DQ) - to benchmark data quality standards in the UK and encourage development of business awareness of the importance of DQ and help develop DG metrics. Government regulations versus data - to increase awareness of the legal implications of data management, assist organisations in reducing their legal liabilities and support ETA (and others) lobby for "data clever" legislation. Data Standards - survey requirements then work with other organisations (eg BCS) to develop effective data standards.
