Optimize Metadata Management to Increase Data Freedom

IT needs to spend more time on “I” and less on “T.”

Data is a business asset and needs to be treated like one. To differentiate and remain competitive in today’s marketplace, organizations are becoming increasingly data driven.


Your Challenge

  • Not asking the right questions to understand what the business data needs are. Often the business doesn’t even know what data they need; they just know the question they want to answer.
  • Breaking down the bridge with the business instead of building one to create a data culture. Current data problems can create sensitivity. For example, IT blames the business for entering poor data, and the business blames IT on tool functionality.
  • Ignoring a comprehensive solution that looks at the different pieces and dependencies. Each component of a data management practice is interconnected, so you need to understand how changing one piece will impact another.

Our Solution

  • Our program employs a consumer-driven approach to requirements gathering to make data an enabler to the business as it works to achieve its strategic objectives.
  • Our program solution is comprehensive. It looks at the dependencies of the different pieces. We help you decide where to start and understand where tensions and dependencies exist between different practice components and activities. 
  • Our program helps you put together an improvement plan that demonstrates the return on investment of each initiative. This improves the data culture in your organization as the business buys into the positive affects of an effective data practice.
  • Our program builds a bridge between IT and the business. We play a mediator role by identifying business versus IT responsibilities. We are strategically oriented, but can speak the technical language.
