An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
As long as there have been regulators and compliance requirements, IT has been in the data governance business. Organizations needed the ability to manage and control data to meet regulatory and compliance demands. Many of the largest companies in the world have turned to industry veteran Infogix to help them do so. But as data has become one of the enterprise’s most strategic assets, the company now believes that data governance must also become a strategic capability.
The company explains that organizations have traditionally managed data in operational silos and have used data governance as a means to provide the controls necessary to meet complex compliance requirements. Using a combination of targeted services coupled with its flagship product, the company is now helping its clients take a more strategic view of data governance, focused on using it to manage data from a business value perspective. This view of data governance demands that organizations begin by understanding the actionable insights and strategic value derived from their data and then deconstruct that into the data KPIs and controls necessary to deliver and sustain them.
The company’s data governance platform, which it calls Data3Sixty, then provides an extensive array of tools and functions to enable organizations to manage and govern their data from this strategic perspective. The platform includes capabilities such as metadata management, data stewardship, data quality management, policy management, and advanced analytics. The platform also leverages advanced automation, machine learning, and data preparation and analysis, with the goal of enabling organizations to govern data in real time. The company has long held that its core value is that it gives organizations the ability to trust their data and the decisions they make with it. As data becomes an ever-increasingly more significant strategic asset for the enterprise, this promise will become more critical than ever.
