What is data governance, how can it be implemented in the company and what are the benefits of strong data governance? Our data management experts provide the answers and valuable insights.

A Data Catalog is an integrated platform for data curation, matching data supply and demand. It offers users functions to register data; to retrieve and use data; and to assess and analyze data. A Data Catalog, therefore, should provide a data inventory (for data supply) and features for data discovery (for data demand) as key components. Additional features should support data governance, data assessment, and data analytics, alongside with appropriate features for catalog administration and data collaboration.
Our data management consulting specialists help you to evaluate the implementation of a data catalog for your company anytime. We can also support you in the scoping and concept phase, collection of requirements and derivate data catalog capabilities and help you with the tool selection.
We are also a reliable partner at your side throughout data governance design and implementation as well as with the conceptual integration of data catalogs in your data architecture landscape. We also provide you with assistance in modelling your data catalog meta model and support your implementation. As best practice we recommend also a proof of concept with a semantic wiki.
In addition to many years of experience in all areas of data management, our consulting services are also based on the latest scientific insights and innovations developed by the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) together with its researchers and partners.
