January 20, 2022 — Several weeks ago (prior to the Omicron wave), I got to attend my first conference in roughly two years: Dataversity’s Data Quality and Information Quality Conference.

But balancing a strong layer of security and governance with easy access to data for all users is no easy task.

Cloudera recently recognized organizations that have mastered this balance, ensuring consistent data lineage and ... Read More

The same could be said about data governance: ask ten experts to define the term, and you’ll get eleven definitions and perhaps twelve frameworks. However it’s defined, data governance is among the hottest topics in data management. Five of the top 10 webinars hosted by Dataversity in 2020 were about data governance, including the #1 webinar, “Taking an Active Approach to Data Governance” (which, incidentally, was hosted by Alation and featured Alation customer Riot Games ...

As IT leaders oversee migration, it’s critical they do not overlook data governance. Data governance is essential because it ensures people can access useful, high-quality data.
