First, some background, Data Intelligence includes a Data Governance Framework, a Data Catalog and Data Intelligence Content. And the Data Governance Framework consists of a unified data knowledge base that is open to consumers and creators, data stewardship, governance oversight and processes. These processes include points of entry for requests, issues, and questions as well as workflows for stewardship and automated content synchronization. We did a video on this subject, and it can be accessed here.
So, what does Just-in-Time Data Intelligence provide to your organization?
Do not look at data intelligence or data governance as a project. It is on-going at an organization. It must be part of the culture. Think of it as a process. Avoid the projects vs. processes trap. Projects involve committees and meetings. Often there is low or unknown return. Creating processes and having your staff use these processes has high return to the organization. You want processes that people can request new reports and new business glossary entries. You want processes where people can report data quality issues and have them fixed quickly. You want processes where employees can get their data-related questions answered by data stewards. Always think about creating and improving the processes that you need. Your employees will thank you.
