The goal of building a strategy to democratize data is to allow all appropriate staff to access the organization’s data, regardless of their technical skills or job description.
Previously, a researcher would have to submit a request to the IT department for the information they needed. For example, if a production manager wanted a mid-month report on the amounts of scrap and waste, they would have to ask the IT department for the information – and wait. With data democratization, that manager can casually access the data without having to wait for IT.
