Data Governance

Data governance is no longer just a means to meet legal and compliancy needs. Today, it’s at the root of turning organizations into well-oiled machines. Let's turn your data governance use case into a success together.

The 6 elements of a solid data governance framework

What's your biggest data governance challenge?

Data governance is the foundation of high quality data. It's the driver of better insights and business decisions.

For your data to be an asset, it needs to be governed. Data governance provides the framework, policies, processes and definitions of your data. It sets the standard to achieve your business goals.

In reality, a lot of data governance projects fail, because of the high level of complexity. Data governance runs through all levels of an organization. That's why partnering up with a specialized data company means the difference between a successful project and one that fails.

From data to impact

Data governance projects are often looked at as a huge exercise that might take years. It feels like a big mountain that can't be overcome, but it shouldn't have to be that way. What organizations fail to see is that it's possible to start managing data very gradually, with minimal impact on daily operations.

"Too many organizations spend their time and money on the end product of data (e.g. reports, apps, algorithms) while they forget to take care of the raw material (= data). What gets measured, gets managed. So start by measuring your data assets."
