Data Management
Geo-ICT’s DAMA Data Management Course provides a solid foundation in modern data practices and prepares you for the globally recognized CDMP certification. Covering all disciplines from the DAMA Body of Knowledge (DMBOK2), the course includes the official book and exam access (taken separately in a classroom setting). You’ll also explore Dutch base registries like BAG, BGT, and WOZ, and examine how to achieve cohesive object registration (SOR) in practice.
This DAMA Data Management Course is CDMP-certified and includes both the official DAMA DMBOK2 book and access to the certification exam. Although the two-hour CDMP exam is not taken during the course itself, participants can register for regularly scheduled classroom sessions to complete it.
In today’s data-driven economy, knowing how to manage, organize, and protect information is more important than ever. The volume and complexity of data that organizations handle each day continues to grow. As a result, it becomes harder to maintain quality, ensure security, and extract meaningful insights. That’s where data management comes in. It’s the discipline that defines how data is collected, stored, shared, and used across an organization — supporting better decisions, faster responses, and stronger outcomes.
When done right, data management becomes the backbone of everything from innovation and customer experience to compliance and strategic planning. At the heart of this field is the DAMA DMBOK2 framework — a global standard outlining key principles and best practices for managing data as a strategic asset. It covers areas such as data governance, architecture, modeling, integration, quality, and security.
As more organizations move to cloud platforms, adopt automation, and expand into AI and big data, professionals need more than just technical tools. In fact, they need the ability to manage data securely, ethically, and efficiently. This course provides that foundation, equipping you with the skills and confidence to apply best practices and prepare for CDMP certification.
This course guides you through all the essential knowledge areas of the DAMA DMBOK2 framework. It combines practical application with a strong theoretical foundation. You’ll learn how to apply the framework to real-world scenarios, design and evaluate data architecture, and implement effective practices for governance, security, and compliance.
In addition, you’ll gain hands-on experience managing data integration, improving data quality, and using metadata effectively. These lessons are rooted in real-world examples — particularly from geo-information environments — so you’ll see how structured data management works in spatial systems as well. By the end, you’ll understand how structured data supports everything from analytics and business intelligence to document control and master data management. Naturally, you’ll also be well-prepared to pass the CDMP exam with confidence.
At Geo-ICT, we believe training should be practical, relevant, and career-focused. That’s why this course is built for professionals who want to apply what they learn immediately — and grow their impact in the workplace.

The second day takes you deeper. First, you’ll look at how to bring together data from different systems, manage reference and master data, and organize unstructured content. In addition, we’ll explore how metadata supports better understanding. Then, we’ll examine how business intelligence and data warehousing drive insight. Finally, you’ll wrap up the day with an overview of big data and data science — followed by a practice exam to help you prepare for the CDMP.
