Data Governance

The Role of IT in Business-led Data Governance

Although it is imperative for the business to lead and sponsor data governance, it is also important to align business and IT.

Our nine-page guide addresses important questions that include what is the role of IT in business-led data governance and and what is its role in ensuring data governance is success.

Also included in our guide:

  • Common goals and objectives for a data governance program, like ensuring integrity of information and transparency
  • Suggested governance roles, including the Steering Committee and Data Governance Lead
  • Key resources IT might provide for governance (e.g., Metadata Lead, Data Architect, etc.)
  • Additional responsibilities IT should assume that are outside of defined key roles
