Data Governance
Body
How much is your data worth, and what’s your data quality score? These are questions many business executives struggle to provide a constructive response to, as well as what the impact of data quality on business operations is. The strategic importance of your data assets can’t be underestimated if you want to achieve successful business results. Many areas of data management – particularly data governance, master data management (MDM), data strategy and data quality – pose significant challenges for CDOs, CIOs, CQOs and business executives. Without an effective data governance program in place, you might face challenges around regulatory compliance, reduced revenues, decreased productivity, inefficient manual processes and increased risks.
How Can Effective Data Governance Help Your Organisation?
Data governance is a set of processes ensuring critical data assets are defined and structure is in place for cleansing, storing and reporting data in a way that makes it easy for the business to own and identify variances in their mission-critical information.
Protiviti’s pragmatic approach to data governance, data strategy and data quality, combined with our business and technical acumen, can help you enhance business value through more controlled and efficient collection, distribution and usage of information.
Additionally, Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) are introducing new information sources to organisations – often from outside company walls.
