Putting Metadata to Work to Achieve the Goals of Data Governance: How a Single, Unified Enterprise Data Integration Platform Can Help Your Business Optimize Metadata Management and Establish Effective Data Governance Practices

Overview

Today's business climate mandates that companies monitor compliance with a variety of new government regulations, conduct audits, effectively manage changes and conflicts, and establish standards to ensure organizational alignment. In response, IT organizations are under pressure to execute important regulatory compliance and risk management initiatives. Data governance plays a critical role in an IT organization's ability to deliver on these initiatives. IT organizations need to establish a solid data governance practice to successfully execute regulatory compliance and risk management initiatives. IT organizations need to take metadata, or "Data about data," into account when setting up a data governance practice and manage metadata effectively. As enterprise data continues to fragment and multiply, the real value of data is getting buried despite the increasing need for better data governance.
