Data Management Training for Configuration Data Managers using the SAE GEIA-859 Standard
CMstat has announced the next dates in October, 2024, and February, 2025, for its exclusive training course on Data Management for Configuration Data Managers using the SAE GEIA-859 standard.
Applied Principles of GEIA-859 Data Management Training
A new training course from CMstat will provide an introduction to the Principles of Applied GEIA859 Enterprise Data Management (DM) with emphasis on what the practical application of DM truly entails for a product, project, program, or enterprise. Students will gain an understanding of DM functions and how they work in concert to enable best-in-class management, identification, storage, protection and access control of all types of data.
