Tony Fisher, President and CEO
DataFlux

Data governance can be defined in a number of different ways – but essentially it is about establishing consistent data guidelines and rules to most effectively manage a business. Given the broad focus of data governance, an effective program relies on a combination of people, process and technology. At the core of any data governance initiative is data quality. This presentation will introduce the data management maturity model. Attendees will learn:

  • The four different levels of the data management maturity model
  • How to measure the “data maturity” of their own organization
  • Determine how the maturity level of data impacts their organization’s ability to achieve effective data governance
