- Ever have one or more of these data challenges – all team members not using or knowing which is the most up to date data input file, can’t find critical data from acquired assets for regulatory reporting, manual searching and cataloguing of acquired asset data, multiple versions of files taking up large volumes of storage?
- Digital Transformation is a step change driven by combining first principal approaches with data-driven insights to drive key business decisions. Reliable and accessible data is therefore key to drive digital transformation
- Data-driven approaches require easy access to high quality data with reliable context for understanding. A local case study reveals that clunky file systems and fragile folder/file organization conventions create huge impediments for data science due to duplication, inconsistency and generally unreliable datasets.
- A scalable, trusted metadata management approach or system? can bring context to data and a cloud-based, intuitive, user-friendly discovery system can provide search and visualization of available data sets with lineage and quality context. Embracing agile, smart data governance policies shift data management perspective from one of burden to overall asset team value.
