Pillar No. 3: Information Governance and Quality

Abstract

With an understanding of information integration and sourcing, I now move to one of the horizontal capabilities in enterprise information management. Horizontal implies a capability that cuts across the entire lifecycle of information from data sourcing to the delivery and consumption of information for reporting and analytics. Information governance is one of the key pillars of enterprise information management and it is not about technology. It involves people taking the responsibility for information assets across the organization by reviewing the processes they leverage to interact with information as well as how and why it is used.
