Why Data Governance?
Organizing Data Management
Data management needs to be organized and each employee is directly or indirectly responsible for a piece of data quality in the organization. Initiatives to improve data quality often start in processes where data is exchanged between systems.
Our consultants experience this on a daily basis with clients where they unlock data from source systems to realize information products with Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing, Data & Analytics, etc. In many cases it turns out that the quality, uniformity and many other aspects are insufficient to build information products that are of value to the organization. The need then arises, often from a technical perspective, to tackle these problems.
There are many technical solutions to bring data quality in an organization to a higher level, but these will only be successful if the organization, the people and the processes are also aligned. This requires an integral approach that must be approached from these perspectives.
Internal and external legislation and regulations
In addition to data quality, internal and external legislation and regulations regarding data also play an important role in many organizations. Organizations are expected to make an effort to improve processes and methods when processing data. Privacy, security, traceability and auditability are issues for which good data management is essential. Even more than with data quality, the aspects 'organization' and 'the people' play an important role, but even now there are technical tools to facilitate processes that are necessary to comply with legislation and regulations.
Good self-service BI requires good organization of the data and the generated information products. If no attention is paid to this, a proliferation of insights will occur, the value of which is unclear. This lack of clarity is caused by, for example: The lack of meanings and definitions of concepts and/or the failure to record them, unfamiliarity with the origin of the data and the poor data quality.
Achieving a sustainable solution
After a thorough preliminary investigation, we identify the problem areas using the internationally recognized DAMA framework. We then look with the client at how we can solve the problems along the axes of technology, processes and people. In doing so, we connect with the wishes, problems, objectives and the associated priorities of the client. Our approach is agile, short-cycle and focused on fast results. We work in close interaction with the client and aim to help the client on the right track with the right methods and resources, so that the organization can continue independently. Data Governance problems are usually complex problems that you cannot solve with a tool alone. Our consultants naturally have tool knowledge, but also help with organizational embedding, process improvement and coaching and training people. Only in this way can a sustainable solution be achieved.
