What is data governance? Data governance is not a hardware, software, or manpower solution. It is an organizational strategy and methodology for documenting and implementing business rules and controls around your organizations valuable data. It is bringing cross-functional teams together to identify data issues that impact the company or organization as a whole. It is working with the business and IT to develop solutions for critical data issues Data Governance is the exercise of decision-making and authority for data (information)-related matters.
Isn’t this an IT Thing? What’s the difference between data/information and information technology (IT)? Consider a plumbing analogy: IT is like the pipes and pumps and storage tanks in a plumbing system. Data is like the water flowing through those pipes. Suppose you were afraid that the water flowing through your pipes was poisoned. What type of plumber would you call? None, of course! Plumbers are specialists in the pipes and pumps and storage tanks – not in what’s flowing through them. You’d call in specialists who know how to test for water quality – specialists who could tell the difference between clean water and other types of clear liquids.
Data governance is between 80% and 95% COMMUNICATION
