Information Governance

Together with Irion we built the business glossary, the data dictionary, and then we built a repository that represents to us the map of the company’s information assets, a map that is very accessible, not to technical figures, but to everyone who deals with data.

Challenges

Centralization, change, progress improvement

Centralization
Provide the Client with a unique solution inmplementing the Data Governance and Data Quality initiatives. Provide special KQIs to monitor the adoption of design initiatives in Data Governance and their efficiency.
Change
The product or system is just a part of a DG initiative. The stakeholders must be taken on board of DG with targeted projects within business planning. The selected product must make the change process easier, not harder.
Collaboration
Managing perimeters and authorizations allows the stakeholders to work securely on their own section of model and data while still having a global vision of the system.
