Tech Trends Speaker Series: Big Data, AI, and Why Data Governance Matters

Friday, April 12, 2024 11:00to12:00
Online

Data governance encompasses how people, processes, and technology can work together to enable business efficiency and defined and agreed-upon data policies that ensure compliance is met.

As companies generate more data, move it to the cloud, and develop GenAI models, they need to consider a comprehensive approach to data governance. Why? Because good data governance can inspire customer trust, allow the organization to extract more value from their data, and therefore lead to more competitive offerings and improvements in, for example, customer experience.

Effective data governance will allow you to:

  • Enable auditable legal and regulatory compliance with defined and agreed-upon data policies
  • Employ better risk management
  • Establish control and maintain visibility of your company’s data assets, providing a competitive advantage
  • Drive both top-line revenue and cost savings when developing new products and services
  • Implement your organization’s people, processes, and tools to operationalize data trustworthiness


Agenda

  • Background on Big Data and becominga data driven company
  • What is data governance?
  • Data governance tools
  • Ingredients of data governance: people & processes
