Why unified data governance is yournew superpower
Unified data governance isn’t just about making sure everyone complies with internal policies and external regulations. It’s also about making sure people have access to reliable, high-quality data.And use it to do smart things. Getting more data into more hands will help your people make better decisions and create innovative use cases.
Done right, data governance introduces end-to-end visibility and control for your data assets. Knowing you can consistently apply governance principles, ensure quality and track how data is used lets you loosen the reins. And that means your people can do more with data.
There are no trade-offs: Unified governance reduces compliance and other safety risks while empowering users. Unified data governance can help you:
Enable certified and accurate reporting: Collective knowledge across teams enables certified and accurate business reporting, resulting in less effort
Increase transparency and understanding: Organizations produce staggering varieties of data, and consumers can’t use data they — or you —don’t know about. Centralizing how you track, manage and grant access to data helps you know what you have. And it lets you help people understand what assets are available and what they mean, which leads to higher utilization
Improve compliance and reduce risk: As data regulations grow, your risk, compliance and legal teams need a way to assess and track data requests — at the request phase and after. And they need to collaborate with technical data teams to construct and apply policies. Managing all of this manually is clunky to the point where it’s challenging to enforce data policies consistently
Build trust: Offering only reliable, well-understood data will build trust in its outputs
