The reality of a data strategy

The power of a data strategy is that it positions you to deliver the best possible solution as your organization’s needs grow and evolve, rather than trying to build a perfect world that can address any unforeseen data need. Our data strategy methodology has five key components:

1.  Identify
3.  Store
5.  Provision
7.  Integrate
9.  Governance

Identify

Consolidating business terminology and meaning into a business data glossary is crucial to allowing your departments to talk in the same language

Store

Data storage is a key component of a successful data strategy. It is more than just "on premise" or "in the cloud", advanced companies store the data once and provide the ability for people to access it.

Provision

Sharing data has become a production business need. For example, employees across various departments using independant backend systems need to provide access for analytics from a consistent data platform and not the silos they inadvertently become immersed in.

Integrate

A successful data strategy needs to consider all data (structured, semistructured, unstructured, etc.) and its movement across and between all systems (operational and analytical).

Governance

The role data governance plays within an overall data strategy is to ensure that data is managed consistently across the organisation. This component underpins the other pillars of data strategy.
