Data System Inventory

An important component of data governance is having a data system inventory.  Data at an organization needs to be understood, individually and collectively, and that can’t be done without a data system inventory.  Organizations need to take defined steps to build their data system inventory and have a process to maintain.

Data Request

An important component of data governance is the request of data.  Organization’s need an established data request process that is known and easy to use.  The life cycle of data requests consists of inquiries about data, requests for deliverables, analysis of report details and data definitions, report development and report delivery.
