Data Governance in action

Discover the long-term benefits of proper Data Governance for data-driven organizations 

Data Governance is a crucial component of Data Management that focuses on establishing and enforcing policies, procedures, and standards that govern an organization's data.

With data governance, companies manage the availability, usability, integrity, and security of their data throughout its lifecycle. This way, they guarantee that the data is accurate, reliable, and compliant. Data Governance is implemented via a Data Governance Framework that is unique to each enterprise and which maximizes operational processes and facilitates compliance with laws and regulations.

Decision-makers must ensure that data governance is applied to all IT systems, involves all stakeholders, and that governance keeps up with the scaling speed of the business in order to not become a bottleneck.

Ideally, a data governance framework like Governance Shift Left should be implemented in order to guarantee quality data that can correctly inform data-driven business decisions.

Governance Maturity is crucial for an organization that wants to excel in its data activities.

Governance Policies are always back of mind for many organizations. It's not that they don't want to impose them or know their benefits... It's just that there's so little time left to ensure that all data is compliant with these policies.

So much to do leaves stakeholders with a set of problems:

Data and metadata are out of sync

Data stewards are not aligned with the process and with domain experts and data engineers

Handoff in knowledge-intensive tasks is becoming more and more error-prone

Data stewards have to fix debt and struggle to engage business people after the project closes

All of this can be fixed by making data governance policies computational (code)

Data Governance Shift Left

A novel way to optimize your governance

Governance Shift Left is our progressive approach to data governance that addresses the challenges posed by the ever-expanding volume of data and aims to rectify the disconnect between data governance and data management.
 
Governance Shift Left is based on four pillars:
 

Metadata as Code - Metadata, code, and data should follow the same lifecycle and align with the code lifecycle, as they are all part of the business value.

You Build it, You Govern it - The Data Engineering team is becoming accountable for respecting and complying with governance pillars by adopting the policies.

Not just Guidelines - Governance policies are no longer mere guidelines, being automatically enforced through code.

Context-Aware - Governance policies should be documented, accessible, and self-explanatory.
