Enterprise Data Management

The objective of enterprise data management is to deliver a consistent approach to the data stored in all business applications across the enterprise.

Take a look at our Data Quality Tools for EDM Managers

On this basis we believe the following data management principles should be applied:

Data Management Principles

Data is an Asset - Data is a core business asset that has value to the enterprise and is managed accordingly.
Data is Shared – Users have access to the data necessary to perform their duties; therefore data is shared across enterprise functions and departments
Data is Accessible – Data is accessible for users to perform their functions.
Data Quality - Data quality is acceptable and meets the business need for which it is intended.
Data is Compliant with Law and Regulations - Information management processes comply with all relevant laws, policies, and regulations.
Data is Secure - Data is trustworthy and is safeguarded from unauthorized access, whether malicious, fraudulent or erroneous.
There is a Common Vocabulary and Data Definition - Data is defined consistently throughout the enterprise and the definitions are understandable and available to all users.
Data is Not Duplicated - Development of information services (such as business applications, data warehouses, directory services etc) available across the enterprise is preferred over the development of information silos which are only provided to a particular department or group of departments.
Data Management is Everybody’s Business - All departments in the enterprise participate in information management decisions needed to accomplish business objectives.
Decisions Maximise the Benefit of Data to the Organisation - A spirit and culture of collaboration and the sharing of data, information and knowledge for the greater corporate good shall pervade all decision-making, especially relating to the selection and prioritisation of programmes, projects and their approval points.
