When data is at the heart of everything teams do, it will drive better decisions and business performance.
Data governance is like the rulebook for managing data within an organization. It encompasses the policies, procedures, and standards that ensure data is handled properly, stays accurate, and is protected.
Data governance is critically important for any growing organization - and it is foundational in any merger or acquisition. A failure to establish clear data governance will inevitably lead to downstream problems.
Good data governance ensures that data is not just a byproduct of business activities, but a strategic asset that can drive business growth.
Business Intelligence (BI) uses data to uncover insights and help make smarter decisions. It involves tools and techniques to analyze data, visualize trends, and generate reports. Common BI visualization platforms include Tableau (Salesforce), PowerBI (Microsoft), Domo, Looker and Klipfolio.
Imagine you're trying to understand why sales dipped last quarter—BI tools sift through the data, spot patterns, and present findings visually in a way that's easy to grasp, enabling better strategy and decisions. BI is also extremely useful for bringing together data from multiple repositories and allowing for analysis and visualization.
