Enterprise Data Management

3 units

In the 4th Industrial Revolution of Digital Transformation, Data is a key and necessary foundational element. Enterprise Data Management is the responsibility and opportunity to effectively utilize data and make it useful to achieve organizational goals. Organizations have begun generating, collecting, and accumulating more data at a faster pace than ever before. The advent of Big Data has proven to be both an opportunity and challenge for organizations who are awash, even drowning-in data, but starved for knowledge. Unfortunately, many organizations have not developed comprehensive enterprise data management (EDM) practices that treat data as a true organizational asset. EDM is a comprehensive approach to defining, governing, securing, and maintaining the access & quality of the right data involved in the business processes of an organization. This course will cover many aspects of building an enterprise data management program, including areas such as data governance, data security, data architecture, data quality, data ownership, metadata management, data strategy, and others.
