Master Data Governance Suite : Use Cases

The Master Data Governance Suite satisfies several use cases that are of relevance to senior management.

  • Data Quality Measurement and Audits
  • Reducing Costs by Simplification
  • Reducing Cost associated with Data Integration Maintenance


1.1 Data Quality Measurement and Audits

Given the importance of the business data it is critical that all such data is systematically audited, on a periodic basis. To ensure that the quality and accuracy of the data is continuously improving, the audits should be conducted fairly frequently, and the quality metrics should be monitored periodically by the data stewards. A continuous-running software process that runs in the background, and systematically audits the quality of customer data is an effective, low-cost way to achieving these objectives.

 

1.2 Reducing Costs by Simplification

Most large organizations are faced with data landscapes that have high volume and high complexity. Complexity in the environment leads to redundancy, which in-turn leads to poorer data quality. Simplification of the data environment can lead to lower costs, while improving the quality of the information. Simplifying environment can also significantly reduce costs for operational support, while reducing the cost of integration projects.

The Master Data Governance Suite can identify and measure the redundancy in the environment, and trace the origin of data quality problems by identifying the "creators" of data. Using this analysis, data management leaders can

  • Identify and monitor the sources of poor-quality data
  • Synchronize core information assets to reduce complexity, and eliminate redundant databases.
  • Perform data quality management in automated, systematic and repeatable ways, thereby reducing cost.

 

1.3 Reducing Cost associated with Data Integration Maintenance

Most organizations fall into one of the following categories.
  • Data Quality is not maintained adequately because there are not enough people
  • Data Quality is maintained at a high cost (large teams of people)
The Global IDs Master Data Governance Suite can reduce the effort taken to measure and monitor critical information assets. Organizations can use this information to reduce the cost of data and information management activities.
