A Pathway to Corporate Data Governance and Improving Value of Corporate Data Assets: Catalysts, Challenges, Approaches and Benefits
Organizations now recognize they have a new, powerful asset class at their disposal: their data and the information and actionable insights that the data constitutes. This asset class can provide significant returns and offers the potential to drive revenue and operational efficiencies, opportunities that have led corporate boards and C-suites in search of a path to derive greater value from corporate data. Even with this acknowledgement of value, however, many organizations are often at a loss for understanding the value of an information governance program, or have made attempts at mining value through technology with unsatisfactory results. This paper covers the fundamentals of implementing a corporate data governance program and explains why and how strong governance must be the foundation upon which value-add data programs are built.
