The Blueprint for Smarter, Governed Data Products
Time: 11:00am ET
Location: Microsoft Teams Townhall
Whether you're already building data products or just tired of seeing the same mysterious fields show up in every report (“Who did create Field_123_Final_v2 anyway?”), this session will give you a clearer path forward. We’re going to walk through how real teams actually design, model, and govern data products, the good, the bad, and the “please don’t ever do that again.” You’ll see how erwin ties everything together so you can build products that are consistent, documented, and genuinely useful, not just “another dataset someone swears they’ll clean up later.” Come ready with questions and ideas, we’ll make sense of it all together.
We’ll explore:
- What defines a data product, including core components, structure, and why clarity matters
- The role of metadata, lineage, and governance in keeping products transparent, compliant, and easy to understand
- erwin Data Modeler’s part in creating foundational models that define structure and meaning
- How the erwin Data Intelligence Suite enriches, catalogs, and manages assets across teams
- Real-world examples of data products delivering measurable impact
By the end of this session, you’ll have a practical, real-world understanding of how strong data products come together, not just how they are defined but how they function when teams depend on them. If you’re ready to build data products that work beyond the slide deck, this is your session.

Themes & Templates made clean and consistent
Time: 11:00am ET
Location: Microsoft Teams Townhall
Consistency is critical in enterprise modeling, but that doesn’t mean your models have to look cookie-cutter. Join this session to explore erwin’s Themes and Active Model Templates (AMTs) and learn how to enforce modeling standards while automating repetitive tasks. You’ll see how Themes guide structure, formatting, and naming conventions, and how AMTs accelerate model creation while ensuring compliance across teams. By the end of this session, you’ll have practical strategies to keep your models consistent, high-quality, and surprisingly flexible.
Topics that will be discussed include:
- Applying Themes to enforce structure and best practices
- Creating AMTs that streamline repeatable modeling tasks
- Automating AMTs into your workflow for efficiency
- Standardizing models across teams without stifling creativity
Speaker: Andy McGovern, Sr. Principal Consultant

Layered Modeling – From Conceptual Dreams to Physical Reality
Time: 11:00am ET
Location: Microsoft Teams Townhall
Building robust models requires moving seamlessly between Conceptual, Logical, and Physical layers- and knowing how to maintain integrity across them. In this session, we’ll show you how to derive Logical models from Conceptual foundations, enrich them with attributes, and produce Logical/Physical models across multiple data structures. You’ll learn techniques for handling relationships, managing large models, and scaling design efforts for enterprise environments. By the end, your layered models will be as elegant and precise as a well-oiled DevOps pipeline.
Topics that will be discussed include:
- Designing Conceptual models that scale logically
- Deriving Logical models with attributes and relationships intact
- Transitioning to Physical models efficiently
- Handling multiple data structures without losing your mind
