What is
Data Governance
Data governance is a set of principles and processes
that ensure data availability, quality, and security within an organization.
The cost of missing
data governance
Overspending on data storage
When all data is treated equal is not classified by usage and its lifecycle, organizations end up spending more on storage than necessary.
Lack of data security
Not properly protected sensitive data can lead to fines and damaged reputation.
Inefficient operations and mistakes
Using ungoverned data for decision making often results in costly mistakes
Wasted time
With lack of data ownership and stewardship as well as automated data indexing, data people waste time looking for data.
Slow innovation
Untagged and unmapped data structures do not allow for digital transformation and infrastructure modernization projects.
Successful data governance program implementation requires clear ownership, responsibilities, and tools to analyze and prioritize initiatives.
