Data Governance

Business Management / Information Technology / Data Management

As organizations deploy business intelligence and analytic systems to harness

business value from their data assets, data governance programs are quickly

gaining prominence. And, although data management issues have traditionally

been addressed by IT departments, organizational issues critical to successful

data management require the implementation of enterprise-wide accountabilities

and responsibilities.

Data Governance: Creating Value from Information Assets examines the

processes of using data governance to manage data effectively. Addressing the

complete life cycle of effective data governance—from metadata management to

privacy and compliance—it provides business managers, IT professionals, and

students with an integrated approach to designing, developing, and sustaining an

effective data governance strategy. The book also

• Explains how to align data governance with business goals

• Describes how to build successful data stewardship with a

governance framework

• Outlines strategies for integrating IT and data governance frameworks

• Supplies business-driven and technical perspectives on data quality

management, metadata management, data access and security, and

data lifecycle

The book summarizes the experiences of global experts in the eld and addresses

critical areas of interest to the information systems and management community.

Case studies from healthcare and nancial sectors, two industries that have

successfully leveraged the potential of data-driven strategies, provide further

insights into real-time practice.

Facilitating a comprehensive understanding of data governance, the book address-

es the burning issue of aligning data assets to both IT assets and organizational

strategic goals. With a focus on the organizational, operational, and strategic as-

pects of data governance, the text provides you with the understanding required

to leverage, derive, and sustain maximum value from the informational assets

housed in your IT infrastructure.
