- Elait can help you build your Data Governance strategy to meet your specific needs :
- Ensure that senior management has a clear directive to create a Data Governance team to gather information about data. Also, establish clear lines of responsibility or owners responsible for each area of the program.
- Enterprise Data Governance solutions involve the central team to control all guidance for the program. It will involve full-time team members and other members from various business units who would form a board to manage and define the processes. The committee would then decree the methods to be followed by the organisation.
- Metadata management services involves multiple steps as gathering metadata is not a straightforward process. Focus on operational metadata in conjunction with business metadata – business definitions created by business people. It is about the datasets throughout the enterprise, what is in them, how they got there, and who uses them. It is about the quality of the data and how that quality has changed over time. It is about all the many things in all the IT systems.
- Partner with a vendor who understands the organisational, technical, and vertical industry dimensions of Metadata Management.

Master And Reference Data Management
![Master and Reference data management](https://elait.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Master-and-Reference-Data-Management.webp)
In conjunction with a data analytics strategy, an effective Master Data Management service facilitates running, growing, and transforming the business. It ensures that master data is clean, consistent, and reliable. This, in turn, enables accurate reporting, faster and more reliable decision making; thereby improving business operations, lessening compliance risk, reducing time to market, and identifying new channels, markets and opportunities.
Business Challenges
Inconsistent master data management services within the organisation prevent consistent analysis, resulting in conflicting or spurious interpretations. This, in turn, damages confidence, leads to suboptimal decision making, and prevents accurate and agile forecasting.

Establish processes to assign ownership of Master and Reference data.

Data Quality And Validation
Data Quality issues exacerbate the problems described in Master Data Management Services and contribute to information distrust, degrade business value and negatively impact financial performance and customer experiences. The only way to build confidence in enterprise data is to consistently measure, correct, and monitor data quality across the enterprise within a sustainable program that focuses on business value, correcting data at the optimal location.

Metadata Management
Metadata Management involves administering the data that describes the actual data. It is responsible for business definitions, reference data, ensuring data quality, consistency, and accuracy of data across various reporting systems. It centralises the information about data across the organisation, bringing together data from siloed Business Units. There are many different scenarios that you may, or may not, recognise. Each of these scenarios brings its unique challenges but also allows an organisation to become more robust when delivering future projects.

Data Security, Storage And Operations
![Data-Security-Storage-and-Operations-overview](https://elait.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Data-Security-Storage-and-Operations-overview-mg.webp)
Data security is the practice of protecting digital information from unauthorised access, corruption, or theft throughout its entire lifecycle. This begins with the organisation’s policies and procedures and permeates to physical access, hardware, software, data storage, administration activities, and data usage.
Businesses are under increasing threat from cyber-criminal activities, but also need to be protected from insider threats, human error, and software defects (both internal and external). The risks of data security issues will only intensify due to the growing value of digital information, the ever-increasing sophistication of cyber-criminals, and ongoing introductions of regulatory and industry compliance rules and legislation.

Data Stewardship And Data Ownership
Data Ownership is usually the owner of the data and is identified for purposes of being a single point of contact for the identified data. This person is usually of a higher-level position and does not deal with the details of the data. Data Stewardship is someone who would identify the rules that are associated with the data and enforce them. Together, they are responsible for enterprise-wide data quality.
A skilfully designed and deployed data stewardship program is vital to ensure high-quality data gets presented for the data analytics program.
