Preface
As a rule, he or she who has the most information will have the greatest
success in life.
Benjamin Disraeli
In recent years, there has been enormous growth of data in organizations.
This data has become the basis of competition, productivity, growth, and
innovation. The rise in volume of data through the Internet, social media,
and multimedia is adding new challenges and opportunities for harnessing
the power of information. There is much discussion today on using orga-
nizational data to derive value. As organizations respond to strategic and
operational challenges that demand high-quality data, data governance
is emerging as an important area in enterprise information management.
As organizations deploy business intelligence and analytic systems to
harness information and business value from their data assets, programs
for the governance of data are gaining prominence. Data management
issues have traditionally been assigned to and addressed by IT depart-
ments in organizations. However, organizational issues critical to suc-
cessful data management require the implementation of enterprise-wide
accountabilities and responsibilities. Data governance encompasses both
the decision domains and the accountability for decision making. Effective
data management requires a data governance structure and framework
that emphasizes collaboration between business and IT to support organi-
zational goals. It brings together diverse expectations and expertise from
across the enterprise to achieve an agreed upon, consistent, and trans-
parent set of processes that enable data-informed decision making. This
book looks at the needs and processes for data governance to manage data
effectively. It addresses the complete life cycle of effective data governance
from metadata management to privacy and compliance. These also are
highlighted through case studies.
The goal of this book is to assist others who are on the journey to derive
value from informational assets using data governance. The book is a sum-
mation of experiences of experts and addresses an area that is of growing
interest to the information systems and management community. Book
chapters present how ideas have been adapted as techniques and policies

for practice in organizations in their journey to successful data gover-
nance. Case studies from healthcare and financial sectors, two industries
that have successfully leveraged the potential of data-driven strategies,
provide further insights into real-time practice.
A popular government without popular information or the means of acquir-
ing it is but a Prologue to Farce, or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge
will forever govern ignorance and a people who mean to be their own
Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
James Madison
