Breakthroughs in data governance can lead to breakthroughs in business results.
- At their core, critical business processes like product development, sales, marketing, strategic planning, and customer service require complex, analytical-intensive activities. Professionals perform these activities drawing upon relevant information to innovate and solve problems essential to realizing maximize value from these processes.
- The richer the information, the higher quality their results – this requires precise, unambiguous definition and standardization of information mapped to underlying physical data assets sourced from diverse locations.
- Breakthroughs in data governance are required to deliver this richer information, at the right time, the right place, and in the right way to these professionals. This will in turn enable breakthroughs in the performance of a company’s most critical processes.
This presentation will discuss how to realize this value by operationally managing data governance as a key enabling business process of the enterprise. Judicious analysis and practical recommendations will be presented to demonstrate how data governance can be implemented such that:
- These best practices are most efficiently integrated into day-to-day operations.
- The implementation roadmap is scoped and prioritized to those data capabilities that quickly deliver dramatic, measurable business results.
