Data Governance and MDM's success are co-dependent. The MDM charter ensures a Single System of Truth (SSOT) while data governance provides the business infrastructure for effective management of information creation, enrichment and collaboration.

AED's approach builds not only on common MDM and data governance frameworks but also integrates performance management fundamentals; deployed adequately, they cultivate a culture of accountability and high performance.

We believe the following three premises are paramount for designing and guiding data governance efforts:

Premise 1:

“Data & quality governance is a holistic enterprise transformation”

Premise 2:

“Data Governance is about business process improvements--technology is the enabling arm, not the other way around!”

Premise 3:  

“Execution of Data Governance is proportionately predicated by the degree of understanding organization adoption and maturity models”
