Data Empowerment Summit - Data Governance

The intelligence approach to enterprise data governance.

Organizations are still coping with the Big Bang of Big Data. The struggle to manage all of it continues – let alone use it for greater good. We’ll look at the current state of data governance, including definitions, drivers, program maturity and common challenges. Most important, we’ll explore how to find, understand, govern and socialize data assets for faster speed to meaningful insights. With a comprehensive yet flexible data governance framework, you don’t have to choose between guardrails and growth – your organization can have both.

Knowing where your data came from and how it changed along the way is critical to ensuring downstream accuracy and fit-for-use analysis. Whether designing a new reporting mart, ensuring consistent PII classifications, or specifying a new data set to feed advanced analytics, your data teams need the ability to drill down into data’s origin and transformation. This session explores the data journey with an emphasis on lineage and provenance to help solve organizational data mysteries. With the ability to see and understand your enterprise data’s history, you can deliver robust data intelligence that can be trusted.

In this session, we’ll talk about how it’s possible to jumpstart enterprise data governance with tips from an industry expert on how to navigate its complexities and establish a successful and sustainable framework.
