Data Management
Data Management is the business of planning, controlling and delivering data and information assets. It is a common synonym for EIM (enterprise information management), IM (information management), IAM (information asset management) and other similar terms and includes the disciplines of development, execution and supervision of plans, policies, projects/programs and processes to control, protect, deliver and enhance the value of data and information.
There are various component parts to data management which altogether enable an organisation’s data to be kept relevant, reliable, available, secure and consistent. An effective data management capability must ensure all of these parts work in tandem with the requisite people, process and technology aspects.
1Tech’s data management capability has been developed on top of the DAMA (Data Management Body of Knowledge) methodology. This industry standard provides an internationally recognised framework for designing a comprehensive data management capability. The traditional DAMA wheel summarises the 10 key areas of Data Management.
Why Would you need this service?
If your organisation experiences the following pain points, it may be because your data is not managed and maintained with the same rigor as other assets.
- Inaccurate, duplicate counting of financial figures in reports;
- No single version of truth exists for key information;
- Proliferation of customer accounts for the same customer leading to lack of standardised quotation;
- Lack of 360-degree visibility of supplier spend;
- Poor data security leading to vulnerability;
- Poor data quality and lack of timely access.
In the modern economy, data should be valued as an asset. To harvest the right data and ensure maximum value from it there is no substitute for investing in a data management capability.
How we deliver this service
1Tech has developed a data management framework enhancing DAMA to include big data, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The framework provides a set of capabilities for instituting an independent, self-sufficient data management business unit.
