Data governance is a collection of processes, roles, policies, standards, and metrics that ensure the effective and efficient use of information in enabling an organization to achieve its goals. It establishes the processes and responsibilities that ensure the quality and security of the data used across a business or organization. Data governance defines who can take what action, upon what data, in what situations, using what methods. In this session we will get a baseline on Data Governance, and it&rsquo;s benefits and explore one of its most advanced tools currently available to implement this type of solutions.
