About Eric Joe Royer

I have a strong background in the Data Architecture and Data Management disciplines. I have a natural ability to extract data needs from business processes, establish conceptual data perspectives and craft repeatable patterns. Compliment those skills with an inquisitive nature and innovative thoughts blossom. I have the ability to maintain an objective distance from challenging data management topics. It allows me to assess the situation without bias, which yields the best outcome. I help data specialists then craft execution strategies to successful, compliant implementations.I monitor key technology vendors for solution capabilities, manage affordable self-education opportunities, and engage when I can in international information councils and discussion groups. I always look for win-win possibilities to make my organization stronger and data management challenges easier. I have completed the Master\'s in Business Analytics program at Iowa State University (ISU). My interest with this program was to advance my understanding of data needs in analytics. My prior experiences with data, my aptitude in mathematics and my problem solving nature positioned me well for this continued education challenge.Specialties: Enterprise Architecture (Content, Data, Collaboration, Information), Data Lake, Analytics, Metadata Management, Semantic Resolution, Data Management, Business Intellignece, Master Data Management, Data Quality, Data Governance, Data Lifecycle Management, Retention Management, Risk Management and Compliance.
