The Definitive Guide to Data Governance

Organizations are embracing digital transformation to change the way they serve customers, analyze the world around them, and manage global risk and operations. Underlying the promise of digital transformation is data. It powers new business models, drives customer experiences, and accelerates business intelligence.

Digital transformation depends on data that is both timely and trusted. Too often data governance policies protect data, but slows or even prevents access to it. That means slower time to market, missed opportunities, and the rise of shadow IT. That’s why a data governance strategy that allows trusted data to be provided in real-time speed is essential for anyone who wants to lead their organization into the future. 

Why data governance is a key element of digital transformation

Data governance often conjures up the idea of some central authority instituting a “culture of no,” but in reality, it can be a powerful engine to scale the use and distribution of trusted data pipelines throughout the company. Data governance strategies should be able to meet the complex needs of modern companies. Data governance strategies should also enable organizations to develop and deliver trusted data to the right users in the right format and right time to harness business value. At the same time, with data governance in place, companies can confidently ensure data privacy, proactively complying with regulations, and allow easy collaboration with data professionals in every function.
