Data is a critical resource for every organization. We depend on data every day to keep records, produce reports, deliver information, monitor performance, make decisions, and much more. The data resource is on par with financial and human resources as a core component of doing business, yet data management practices are often quite casual and unstructured. Data governance brings the same level of discipline and structure to data management as is typical when managing financial and human resources.
Building a data governance program is a complex process that focuses people, processes, policies, rules, and regulations on achieving specific goals for a managed data resource. Successful and effective data governance depends on achieving the right balance between control-oriented and collaborative governance to address the often conflicting needs of enterprise data management, self-service, agile development, big data, and cloud deployments.
