A business-friendly approach to data governance is imperative to engage all users and accommodate diverse business use cases spanning analytics, operational improvements, and compliance requirements. To increase adoption and collaboration, business and technical data users across your organisation need to have a common, agreed-upon, and documented understanding of which data is most important, what it’s called, and where it’s used.
Watch this on-demand webinar, where we explore the concept of business-first Data Governance, an approach that promotes adoption by the organisation, lays the foundation for data integrity and consistently delivers business value in the long term.
We also look at how Oripharm, one of the dynamic healthcare players in the Nordics and international markets, choose a data governance solution:
• to improve personalisation of products and services
• to achieve accurate and timely credit-risk analysis
• to increase user productivity by improving time-to-insights
• to mitigate risk and facilitate regulatory compliance and reporting
