Data Governance Working Group Home Page

Introduction

Data Governance is a collection of practices and processes to ensure formal management of data assets within our organization. It helps us gain better control over its data assets, including methods, technologies, and behaviors around proper management of data. It also deals with security and privacy, integrity, usability, integration, compliance, availability, roles and responsibilities, and overall management of the internal and external data flows within the organization.

Benefits 

The key benefits that we aim to achieve through Data Governance are:

• • Increasing the value of our organization’s data
  • Decreasing costs within other subsets of data management, by knowing what you’ll focus on and what you’re choosing to skip
  • Increasing enterprise revenue overall
  • Standardizing data systems, policies, and procedures
  • Ensuring correct regulation and compliance procedures
  • Helping to solve issues with data
  • Promoting transparency
  • Establishing training and education around data
