Data Governance Program Launch
If you plan to start small and grow over time, some key roles, processes, tools, and policies still need to be in place from the beginning. If you have to ramp up fast to meet regulatory or business deadlines, starting off with a good foundation is even more critical. Developing a metadata repository without some clear guard rails can lead to a loss of metadata integrity that is very difficult to undo. Having to do a program restart can be expensive.
Our Governance Program Launch service works with you to put in place the roles, processes, and tools necessary to kick off your program and begin your journey towards a successful Data Governance capability.
Data Governance Pilot Implementation
While you may have been populating a metadata catalog as an IT skunk works, proving out your methodology, roles, and tools with a full Data Governance pilot is an important step to move your program forward. This is an opportunity to demonstrate to your business, compliance, and analytics stakeholders the value of a Data Governance program. At the same time, your core Data Governance team will gain hands-on experience with an agile process for delivering on the full promise of Data Governance in a controlled scope.
Data Governance for Compliance
Enterprise-wide compliance programs for privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA can be one of the most difficult Data Governance challenges. Personal data exists in hundreds or thousands of databases, and millions of electronic documents. Customers now have the right to know what personal data you have, and what purpose it is used for. They have the right to be forgotten, which means deleting or anonymizing the data wherever it exists.
Arroyo Seco has worked with Data Governance, Compliance, IT, and business stakeholders to orchestrate the development of compliance policies, identification of personal data, mapping it to policies, and reporting progress metrics. We assist clients with the significant day-to-day management challenge these compliance efforts bring.
Data Governance for DataOps
Analytics are creating competitive advantages for companies able to effectively leverage their data. DataOps is proving to be a best practice for Analytics, but DataOps relies on the ability to integrate data across many platforms and formats. It relies on the ability to rapidly identify and correct data errors. It requires standardization and consistent reference data. It requires the ability to identify the best source data for a given analytics solution. Data lakes have often not solved this problem, but merely re-created the same problems in a new environment.
Data Governance is an important enabler for DataOps. The ability to identify, organize, standardize, and cleanse data, and make it easily accessible, is a key outcome of a Data Governance program. We work with Data Governance organizations to create the prerequisites for an effective DataOps process in your Analytics team.
