A follow-up to our first study two years ago, the 2020 State of Governance and Automation report explores how data governance attitudes and practices have evolved and where companies stand in automating the processes critical to uncovering insights for optimal decision-making and therefore data intelligence.
Learn how to wring all the value possible from data about your data, including what to look for in tools to automate and accelerate the speed to meaningful insights for better decision-making.
Enterprise architecture can be more strategic and impactful when used to dynamically link data assets and business processes, applications and infrastructure for faster, more accurate decision-making. To do EA right, you need the right tools for communication and collaboration with the business.

This paper by David Loshin explores the benefits and common challenges of data lineage, plus using a data catalog approach to produce it with greater ease and effectiveness.
Designing and deploying new relational databases, application development, data integration, master data management, business intelligence/analytics and Big Data adoption, data governance and more. Data modeling is still hip, maybe more than ever as you’ll learn in this new white paper.
To be fully empowered, the citizen analyst must be able to survey the data landscape so critical information can be collected, collated and published for strategic decision-making. Such democratized data leads to data intelligence, insights that produce actions to keep customers happy, invent new products, generate more revenue, whatever the desired outcome is.
You need a visual representation of what your business does and how it does it. With the help of business process modeling, your organization can visualize its processes and all the associated information, which in turn shines a light on areas of the business ripe for innovation, improvement or reorganization.
