This section introduces you to Data360 Govern.
Data360 Govern is a cloud-based, data governance platform that allows you to define, track, and manage your data assets. Data360 Govern is a highly configurable application, providing a high level of flexibility for customizing the system to provide a solution to match the specific data governance requirements of any organization.
Data governance describes a set of repeatable, scalable strategies and technologies that ensure that important data assets stay in compliance with corporate policies and government regulations. As data volumes grow, data can quickly become outdated and difficult to access. Data360 Govern provides a configurable data governance framework, enabling you to ensure:
- Accurate reporting
- Good decision-making
- Reduced time spent on remediation
- Effective business practices
- Compliance with governmental regulations and corporate policies
In many businesses, data management has traditionally been a function of Information Technology (IT) departments. While IT departments have substantial technical expertise, they sometimes lack knowledge of the business context of the data. Business context knowledge is required to make critical decisions. One goal of data governance is to put the control and responsibility for data into the purview of the core business.
Every asset catalogued in Data360 Govern is assigned to a responsible party such as a business owner or data steward, and its relationship to other assets is thoroughly documented. This gives you a thorough understanding of the data and any relationships that exist between the data and the other business assets that make use of that data, such as reports, applications, or policies.
