Typically, Data Governance programs start with Data Quality, because that is where end users or stakeholders begin to interact with data, especially from the reporting and analytics perspective. “They get a report that doesn’t match another report and they can’t marry it to other data,” said Mary Anne Hopper, Data Management Consultant at SAS Institute.
Speaking at the DATAVERSITY Enterprise Data World Conference, Hopper said that Data Quality alone is not enough — Data Stewardship and Data Governance are essential partners, and success depends on the integration of all three areas.
