A Well-Defined Data Governance Program
Data governance needs to be a well-defined and organized

process. Simply put, it is how effectively your organization
manages all the internal and external data. This includes “data
source” – “data cleanse” – “data convert” – “data enrich” as
needed by your business. All this while optimizing the total cost of
ownership of data and its associated ecosystem for your
organization.
In any data governance program, the primary task is to source
relevant
datasets. Re-engineer, enable
data modernization,
streamline and optimize data management processes and build
relevant dashboards, performance indicators, and reports which
can help in continuous improvement. With time, the data
ecosystem needs to adapt to changing technologies, growing
data volumes and velocity, integrate with the newer organizational
applications. It should also be flexible to provide data on-demand
for new value-added projects in the organization. Engagements
that utilize deeper technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Machine Learning (ML), and so on.

objectives are prioritized, they will become input for the Data
Governance program implementation plan. Below are common
outcomes and objectives expected from a Data Governance
program:
Deep Data Discovery & Analysis
The foundation of the program execution is the Discovery phase.
In this, we plan a detailed study, understanding of the current data
architecture including analysis, detailed documentation of the
requirements. We identify the data owners and consumers, work
with them to study each data source system in detail. We go
through each of the data flows from its origination, till the data is
consumed by the downstream applications or reports or data
warehouses.
The focus is to identify pain points such as integrity issues, quality
issues,
data
redundancy,
duplicity,
missing
master
data
standards, lack of data ownership, manual reconciliation, etc.
Also, we gather detailed requirements from the users for the ‘tobe system’ to be developed. We provide an as-is data model along
with
a
data
dictionary
of
current
systems,
which
many
organizations don’t have documented.
Sustainable, Extensible And Flexible Technology Platform
Data governance programs can be built onto the existing
technologies, or they can start with the new technology platform
entirely. Many times, organizations start right away with data
projects in pockets, but those initiatives are not brought together
under one program.
A common approach towards all such current and future data
initiatives will help in establishing a uniform data platform in the
organization. It will help to leverage common tools, technologies,
and practices across the projects.
On a single platform, it is easier to plan end-to-end automation,
the exit of high-cost tools or databases, develop new integrated
applications, etc. Common products like Ab Initio, Informatica,
IBM InfoSphere, Talend are the main tools that are used.
Alternatively, clients are also open to developing their own
customized data management solution as per their needs.
Nowadays, clients are considering open-source technologies
which are scalable, high-performing, and cost-effective. Our
approach is to establish a sustainable, extensible, and flexible
technology platform for clients which will allow adding new
projects, tools, technologies incrementally to it.
Xoriant Data Accelerators
