The Elephant in the Room: Data: What you need to know to best Govern and Manage your enterprise data.

Most people understand the phrase: “there is an elephant in the room”. It’s that big thing that nobody really wants to talk about. Everyone ignores. They turn their heads. Close their eyes. For many businesses, one important conversation that people are ignoring involves data. For most businesses, their data is defective. Their data has errors. They are running their business on unreliable data. And that unreliable data is buried into every business process and every system implemented and therefore are part of today’s costs. Buried and often out of sight – until something really big goes wrong. Really wrong.
