requirements
Compliance with regulations and contractual obligations
Integrated customer management (“360 degree view”)
Company-wide reporting needs (“Single Source of the Truth”)
Business integration
Global business process harmonization

strong need for action

Project 1 Project 2 Project 3
No risk management possible
Impedes planning and controlling of budgets and resources
No targets for data quality
Purely reactive - when too late
No sustainability, high repetitive project costs (change requests, external consulting etc.)

16. In Case A data quality is measured on a continuous basis
Overall data quality indices per
region and per country are
published on the corporate
intranet.
Regions and countries can
monitor their own progress (as
well as the progress of best-in-
class countries)
Measurement and data quality
indices are made transparent to
everybody.
Calculation of indices can be
track down to the individual
record level.

21. Some key success factors become apparent when analyzing the cases
Demonstrate staying power! Data Governance is a change
issue and requires involvement of all stakeholders.
No bureaucracy! Use existing board structures and processes.
No ivory tower, no silver bullet! Use “real-life” examples to get
buy in from local business units.
