  4. Importance of Dynamic Blueprint to Data Governance and Management

  5. Elevated Expectation and Anxiety Around Data Governance Data governance is the new reality “Data governance and compliance is the new reality, many attendees said, changing the way they work. The emphasis on governance gives data management more visibility in the corporate world. Data quality is taken more seriously, data integration is a necessity, and security is an imperative, not a luxury, attendees said. A competitive global marketplace and laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley bring the promise of increased resources -- but the pitfalls of higher stakes.” Source: DAMA International Symposium and Wilshire Meta-data conference, April 2006

  6. Adverse reports on the decline 16% to 7% Marked (>10%) improvements Entertainment & Media Industrial products Retail & Consumer Technology Lowest % of adverse report ‘05 Banking & Capital Markets Pharmaceutical Real Estate Sarbanes-Oxley Adverse Reports over Internal Control Decreased in Year 2 Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers Webcast, May 06

  7. Heightened Need for Data-Driven Approach • Applying Six Sigma Concept for Certifying Data • Bring rigor and measurements in data management • Cornerstone for corporate performance management • Increased Layering of Frameworks for Auditability • Increasing use of ITIL, CobiT, COSO, and ISO 9000/17799 • Refining accountability and transparency to drive organization-wide participation • Attempt to Link IT Investments to Compounding benefits – Institutionalize Data as Strategic Asset • Participation in revenue-driving activities beyond traditional IT cost reductions and risk management • Off-shore/onshore IT outsourcing prevalent with large companies

  8. Continued Challenges in Linking Data to Business Value Data Governance Metric Business Value-Driven IT Issue? Business Issue? RevenuesCostRisk Or Both? Reports • Customer Campaign • Access Control • Fraud Detection • Reconcilability • Supply Chain Costs • Audit Trails • Distribution Management • Legacy Data • On-Demand Availability • Regulatory Compliance • Accuracy • Privacy Risk

  10. Expanding the Definition of Data Governance

  11. Customer Data Product Data Supplier Data Finance Data Employee Data Governance: Historical Context Corporate Governance The set of processes, customs, policies, laws and institutions affecting the way a corporation is directed, administered or controlled. IT Governance The leadership and organizational structures and processes that ensure that the organization’s IT sustains and extends the organization’s strategies and objectives. Data Governance The processes, policies, standards, organization and technologies required to manage and ensure the availability, accessibility, quality, consistency, auditability and security of data in a company or institution. Business Processes CRM System ERP System Order Mgmt System Finance System HR System

  12. Service-Oriented Architecture– Data Services Data Integration Platform Integration Competency Center (ICC) Architecture Technology Approach Data Definitions & Taxonomies Master/Reference Data Data Definition Monitoring & Measurement Roles & Responsibilities Organizational Structure Enterprise Data Model Technology Standards Data Access & Delivery Data Change Management Planning & Prioritization Org. Change Management Expanded Data Governance Framework to Underscore Importance of Technology Corporate Governance The set of processes, customs, policies, laws and institutions affecting the way a corporation is directed, administered or controlled. IT Governance The leadership and organizational structures and processes that ensure that the organization’s IT sustains and extends the organization’s strategies and objectives.

  15. Best Practices for Securing Endorsement and Program Initiation

  16. Guiding Principles for Program Initiation • Begin with a clear top-down mission statement and key performance indicators that will be boosted by the program • Make data management as an integral part of the corporate governance and oversight process – not a separate new initiative • Embed the new standards, practices and processes into existing functioning framework where applicable • Seek to align with stakeholders and business owners to dissolve resistance and accelerate approval cycles • Drive “visible” wins through “selected” subject areas or data governance metrics according to value and risk levels
