Our point of view is a little less complicated….
Business Intelligence (BI) empowers the right people to receive the right information, at the right time, allowing them to make
the right business decisions.
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) provides the foundation for the business to operate as truly “intelligent
enterprise”.
“Business intelligence (BI) is an umbrella term that includes the applications, infrastructure, tools, and best practices that
enable access to and analysis of information to improve and optimize decisions and performance.” – Gartner
“Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is an integrative discipline for structuring, describing and governing information
assets across organizational and technological boundaries to improve efficiency, promote transparency and enable business
insight.” – Gartner
Enterprise information Management (including Data Quality Management and Data Governance) is the single most
important prerequisite to a Business Intelligence implementation.
“Without the proper data, or with too little quality data, any BI implementation will fail. Before implementation it is a good idea
to do data profiling; this analysis will be able to describe the “content, consistency and structure” - Kimball et al., 2008

Study and Research Project “Analytics: The New
Path to Value”
Business Intelligence continues
to be the top priorities for the
CIOs across the globe.1
“Over the next 24 months
executives say they will focus
on supplementing standard
historical reporting of data with
emerging approaches that
convert information into
scenarios and simulations that
make insights easier to
understand and act on.” 2
By 2013:
33% of BI functionality will be consumed via
handheld devices
15% of BI deployments will combine
BI, collaboration and social software into
decision-making environments

Ensuring the accuracy of the information reported form a business intelligence system is another central
theme that organisations encounter. Integrating information from across your enterprise while keeping the
quality of data intact “from record to report” has revealed a range of issues not previously apparent.
The executives are now focused on making their BI solutions more reliable by through an information
management agenda.

“I can’t get the information I need
quickly enough to react to the
events and changes in the market
conditions.”
Root Cause: Data Governance Framework &
Organisation Structure, Data Ownership and
Stewardship and Data Flow Analysis.
“It is too difficult to obtain all the
information I need to make better
decisions.”
Root Cause: Data Classification, Data Flow
Analysis, Data Mapping and Data Modeling.
“I don’t have enough confidence in
some of our information to make
critical decisions.”
Root Cause: Data Quality Management and
Enterprise Information Strategy .
“We run this business by “gut feel” rather than
facts.”
Root Cause: Data Quality Management, Information Integration and
Distribution.
“I receive a multitude of reports with conflicting information so we waste time debating
which measures are correct instead of making decisions.”
Root Cause: Data Quality, Data Standardization and Master Data Management.
“Majority of our analyst’s time is spent gathering
data instead of analyzing and the information to
create insights.”
Root Cause: Data Quality and Data Ownership/Stewardship.
“ Your organization does not understand the full
breadth of the relationship your customers and
suppliers have with you.”
Root Cause: Master Data Management , Data Flow
Analysis, Information Lifecycle Management and Enterprise
Information Strategy.
All most all executives within your organisation are effected by the quality of your organizational data. For Industries that processes
huge amounts of data on a daily basis, Data Quality can make or break an organization. Some of the key information management
challenges faced by organizations are:
Information
Consumers
13. Common Business Information Challenges
The root causes are also common
Common and critical
data resides in
separate systems
•Data is incomplete
and critical
information is not
captured.
•Obsolete Data.
•Reference data is not
consistent across
systems.
•Data content differs
from actual business
rules.
•Data does not
reconcile across all
integrated systems.
•The same
information is
captured from
multiple system
Inconsistent
definitions and
standards
•No common
definition of
data, including
customer data.
•The same data is not
captured in a
consistent format
across the
organisation.
•Difficult or
impossible to
consolidate
information for cross
department / cross
geography use.
Limited Analytical
Capability
• As the data is not
completely
captured, the ability
to analyse data is
limited.
•Restricted ability to
discover potential
opportunities for
cross-sell and up sell
using the current
available data.
•Lack of knowledge of
the affiliates with
repeated

are not easily
available.
Unclear Data
Ownership
•No formalised
governance policy in
place.
•The data ownership
and consumption of
data is not clearly
defined.
Manual Processes
and Limited Sharing
of Data
•There are high
degree of manual

ChallengesRootCause
14. The Need for Enterprise Information Management
Why is information management so important to me?
Many organisations fail to effectively manage their data, resulting in greater risks to the business and missed
opportunities for commercial and competitive advantage.
Effective and innovative data governance and data quality management can help you to reduce the risks and
realise the true potential of your organisation's information:
14
o Improved customer profitability and product coverage through single customer
view and product insights.
o Reduce risk (financial and reputational) through improved data quality, control
and security.
o Better informed planning based on accurate operational and forecast data
o Enhanced anti-fraud measures through linking and forensic analysis of
structured and unstructured data.
o Auditable regulatory compliance and repeatable decisions on large data-
intensive.
o Early risk warning systems to continuously monitor and improve operational
efficiencies and profitability.
o Technology-enabled-solutions that are tailored to your needs and enables you to
focus on the most relevant information.

17. Our Information Governance Framework
17
Our Information Governance Framework is
designed to strike the right balance between
technical and functional infrastructure for
effective information management. There are
seven “components” to the
framework, which, although
interdependent, can also be applied
individually.
Our Information Governance Framework also
unpins our service offerings that help us to
assist our client with designing
personnel, process, technology, and controls
that address compliance requirements, while
also protecting the most important
information assets
Our approach encompasses the complete
governance lifecycle, helping to enable
clients to choose the appropriate services to
achieve their specific business needs.

18. Key Components of Our Information Governance Framework
18
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)
The core of our approach focuses on ILM which comprises
the policies, processes, practices, and tools used to align
the business value of information with the most
appropriate and cost effective IT infrastructure -- from the
time information is conceived through its final disposition.
Data Governance Framework and Organisation Structure
The process of defining the roles / relationships and information
management organization structure. It helps to drive ownership
rules, set standards and direction for data management and create
data quality standards.
Data Ownership and Stewardship
The process of understanding the data and establishing standards
and measurable goals to help improve the quality of the data by
evangelizing the leading practices across the organization.
Master Data Management
The process of consistently defining and managing the information
that is key to the operation of your business covering
customers, products, employees, materials, suppliers etc.
Data Classification
The process of dividing data sources
(documents, applications, databases, etc.) into groupings to which
defined level of controls, protection and policies can be applied to
support business objectives.
Data Flow Analysis
The process of classifying and managing the flow of information
assets within an organization.
Data Quality Management
The process of accessing, designing, improving, monitoring and
measuring the duality of data across the organization.

• It may take some time for the business to realise that the Data Governance program will
create an opportunity for them to improve the overall information quality across the
organisation.
• Practical considerations will come to light when you put into practice the Governance
principles and bodies defined in this phase. Be prepared for scope and requirements to
change overtime.
• Ownership and accountability is critical; if no one owns it, it will not get done. Create a
risk mitigation plan in the event of a critical lack of available documentation on how
owns what information and how is it managed.
• Emphasize training and internal awareness. Many user satisfaction issues may be
overcome by end user training and increased awareness about the Program.
• Limit the number of “instantiated” policies and preserve the key capability to
“customize” the management of each individual piece of personal data, based on users’
privacy preferences.

Data Governance is how an enterprise manages its data assets. Key step within Data Governance is to identify the Information
stakeholders (e.g. management, investors, supervisors, auditors)
A Data Governance organisation structure primarily made up of the Governance Committee, who are responsible for project
oversight, Data Stewards and a Data Quality Group. This example below can be tailored to fit the current organisation structure of
our clients, leveraging current existing roles wherever possible.
Set direction, strategy and goals for the council globally (e.g., across
regions, Sales and Marketing ,etc.). Champion the councils mission and
purpose to the corporation.
Set Business and IT direction for data architecture and
underlying infrastructure
Data Stewardship, Corporate data standards, data
repository, data architecture and database
administration. Data and ownership rules validation
Data quality processes and tools
Data requirements, data ownership
(Location A, Location
B, Sales, Marketing, etc.)
22. • Invest in resources for participation in the information gathering process. Key project
team members such as the Project Manager, Architect(s), Business Analyst(s) and Data
Analyst(s) should participate in as many of the meetings as possible, even if the planned
subject matter may not seem to be directly applicable to every resource.
• Site visits to organizations that have mature Information Governance models in place to
bring theory to life and crystallize good applicable features into the future design may be
a useful tool.
• Share findings and initial impressions across the program to test initial hypothesis.
• It is critical to obtain the client’s agreement and sign off for the governance framework
to gain consensus and the appropriate level of stakeholder support.
• Mapping current organization to the future organization in the early stages of the project
can help ensure efficient transition to the future state.
• Businesses will incur learning and education costs as they familiarise themselves with the
new reporting methods.

23. Data Ownership and Stewardship
Articulates Roles and Responsibilities, and helps to keep the Measurement and Analytics Function
Synchronized Across Business Units and IT.
23
Effective Definition of Data Ownership can help to:
• Understand the data and the purpose of the data in a specific system.
• Provide contextual understanding of the data in a particular system.
• Comprehend the data and various data elements in the context of the
business purpose of the system.
• For initial data ownership focus, start with Accounts and Contacts across
systems.
Data stewards play a crucial role in defining the organizational data
elements and subsequently the conceptual data model for an organization.
Data Stewards act as the liaison between IT and the business and accept
accountability for data definition, data management process definition, and
information quality levels for specific data subject areas. Later, the
technology team translates this conceptual data model into technology
solutions.
Data Stewardship Responsibilities
• Monitor and report data quality issues
• Review error and exception logs
• Correct data gaps (i.e., missing data)
• Randomly audit data
• Maintain and fine tune data transformation and
matching rules
24. • When differences occur between sources of information it is often very difficult to gain
consensus in an organization as to which version of the truth is correct. It is necessary to
exercise caution to obtain information at or as close to the source as possible and to
avoid hidden filters, views, stored processes or transformations when profiling data. It is
important to obtain sign-off on the correct sources for the data.
• Assessing the Corporate Strategic Plan will provide insight as to goals and objectives to
be obtained. They will be at a high level but should be able to be broken down to lower
levels in the individual business units.
• Consider co-coordinating structured interviews and meetings across all workstreams and
socialize the design with key stakeholders to get business buy-in across the workstreams.
• A refresher training of the key participants has to be undertaken closer to the go-live
time to help ensure knowledge is retained.
• Early Communication about the new Governance organization will help ensure that
people are better prepared and are involved in the implementation early in the process.

• There is no single approach to addressing metadata. An iterative approach may be used
to increase functionality gradually through a series of planned releases.
• Any harmonisation of data definitions would require changes. Often business units are
only willing to participate in harmonisation exercises to the extent that everyone else
agrees to their existing definitions.
• Context is extremely important. In addition to Integrated Information Management
skills, the project team should have knowledge of the domain and/or industry
knowledge.
• Plan for substantial changes to the physical design during the Implement Phase as data
sourcing and data access construction activities mandate modifications to the
Operational Data Stores, Data Warehouse or Data Mart.
• Data Management and Governance are more than data tools - to be effective they
should encompass people, process, all types of data, technology and tools.
• Leverage the Information Lifecycle Management to determine what information is
critical to link and support the operational data.

Accuracy/Quality - An appraisal of the confidence one can
have in the information
Risk - A statement to highlight the risk associated with the
information
Timing - A discussion of frequency, regular of irregular, etc.
Source - Where did the information originate?
Usage - How is it used and by whom?
Disposition - Where is the information sent?
Maintenance - A description of the activities required to keep
the information current
Security - A statement of the privacy / confidentiality issues
surrounding the information
Redundancy - Are there too many versions of the same
information?

• Do not permit data gaps to go unresolved since they will require changes to the logical
and physical models and may even require revisiting project success factors.
• Ensure the level of detail is sufficient to help enable the next phase (Build) to take place.
The difficulty is to strike the right balance and not to get to the build level but at the
same time to define sufficient detail (“all thinking should be finished at this stage”)
• Well-established designs, tools and technologies are suitable and innovations should be
analyzed for risks and architecture components.
• Data Management and Governance processes expand beyond MDM to include all data
types (structured/unstructured, internal/external) and flows of data.
• Process and/or technology led transformations should take into consideration the impact
on supporting operating model. Organizational issues need to be addressed in parallel
with process and technology considerations.
• Information flow lead time is a critical consideration when designing the processes as it
has a direct impact on decision making

Efficiently managing the flow of information can help you
address the following CHALLENGES:
• Islands of Information – Most organizations suffer from
information proliferation and duplication. Each island is
assessed for its viability and duplicate systems are
rationalized, combined, or eliminated. If data I need is stored
in several different places, how can I perform comprehensive
analysis?
• Data Management – Who owns the data?
• Data Quality – How will we enforce the format in which data
is entered?
• Accountabilities – Who is responsible and accountable for
the data?
• Stakeholder Management – Who is impacted by the use of
the data and what expectations need to be set for the
delivery of the information?

• Avoid jumping to technological solutions until the business objectives and the
requirements are well understood.
• Analyzing the details and complexities of the numerous data elements is the longest and
most labour intensive component of Data Governance projects. Care should be taken to
manage the scope and estimated effort for this activity.
• It is important to use a realistic baseline of the maturity level of the client’s business and
information technology environments. Establish early the priorities for improvement as
well as understand the constraints applicable.
• Plan in advance for any sample data or data analysis requests related to data profiling
including adherence to all policies and procedures.
• Prototyping can be very valuable and prototyping opportunities should be considered
where there is a compelling benefit (including risk mitigation) that outweighs the costs.
• The quality of the source-to-target mappings has a direct impact on the data integration
design and implementation..

• Follow the leading enterprises that focus their Information Governance Vision on
leveraging data and information as an asset to execute their core strategic objectives
• The quality of the source-to-target mappings has a direct impact on the data integration
design and implementation. Poor Quality of data simply transfers the load to other
solutions and may have a wide spread effect throughout the organisation.
• A central and widely accessible document repository of Governance documentation such
as, for example, e-rooms makes this effort more transparent to clients’ stakeholders.
• Establishing a clear baseline for current business processes is critical for reducing
complexity and identifying root causes, gaps, critical requirements, and alignment issues
• Specialized skill sets can be very helpful to assess architectural components and
interfaces. Resources outside the project team such as vendors, industry
groups, partners and other organizations should be leveraged where necessary.
• Preserve the design of the data quality framework as much as possible and document
decisions resulting from constraints or limitations of technology components.

• Data Governance – the process that articulates Roles and
Responsibilities, and helps to keep the Measurement and
Analytics Function Synchronized Across Business Units and
IT
• Data Quality – managing information as a corporate asset
will maintain and enhance its value, using quality-driven
organizations, processes, standards and supporting
technologies
• Data Integration – includes the collection, organization and
distribution of all types of data, to manage the full data life-
cycle needs of an enterprise
• Data Integration Platforms – represents the set of servers,
databases, software, networks and storage used to deliver
and maintain information
Many companies struggle to produce consistent reporting — with a mass of different data in multiple formats —
making meaningful comparisons difficult or impossible.
Effective Enterprise Information Management drives clear accountabilities regarding BI; clearly defined business
performance metrics and the ongoing integration between the business units.

43. Common Business Information Challenges
Information has never been more important
43
[
Global Economic Crisis:
In the current economic climate it is vital to understand and manage performance by cutting costs to increase margins while
managing your organisations risk. Organisations are focusing on effective information management to address some of the
following challenges:
o Know Your Customer, Anti-Money Laundering and sanctions screening processes
o Transformational projects or product integration across channels requiring data to support management decisions
o Internal and external reporting for customers / financial requirements
o Regulatory reporting requirements
o Fraud detection and anti-bribery and corruption programmes
Big Data Explosion:
Big data is a popular term used to describe the exponential growth, availability and use of information, both
structured and unstructured.
Effective Big Data analysis is the key component in providing Unique Customer Benefits (UCBs) as it can offer a
treasure trove of intelligence that businesses can use to gain insights into things like subscriber behaviour and
customer churn, and to improve billing accuracy and service quality.
Data Privacy / Information Security:
Data privacy / Security continues to remain one of the top priorities for information managers across industries. Some
industries like Healthcare, Banking and Insurance are effected significantly by the way they handle customer information. Data
Governance and Data Quality management can help to manage the integrity and security of information across all interfaces
including:
o Information exchange between businesses and customers.
o Information exchange between businesses
o Internal information exchange within an organisation.
44. Categories on Organizational Data and its Management

Term Definition Demo
Data Management A thorough process of managing various types of data throughout the
organization
Change Management A thorough process of managing business change requests from the point
when a request is logged to the point when it is implemented. Examples of
requests handled by the change management process include a new report,
changes to data definitions, change to workflow, etc.
Master Data Sets of core business entities used in traditional or analytical applications
across the organization, and subjected to enterprise governance policies,
along with their associated metadata, attributes, definitions, roles, and
connections. Master data covers all the traditional master data sets:
customers, products, employees, vendors, parts, policies and activities.
Meta Data Data about data meaning. It can contain details about the structure of
database tables and objects, but also information on how data is extracted,
transformed and loaded from source to target. It can also contain information
on the origin of the data.
Reference Data Any kind of data used solely to categorize other data. Volumes of reference
data are much lower than those of master data, and it changes more slowly
than master data. An example of reference data is the use of code tables
consisting of codes and/or acronyms, descriptions, etc. The code tables hold
information about product line, gender, country or customer type etc.
Transaction Data A single piece of information related to a certain occurring activity;
Transactional Data can change very often and are not constant. Examples
of transaction data include purchase order number, general ledger posting, a
journal amount, etc
Structured Data Data that resides in fixed fields within a record or file. Relational databases,
master data files and spreadsheets are examples of structured data
Unstructured Data Unstructured Data that does not reside in fixed locations. Examples of
unstructured data include e-mails, copies of scanned invoices, free-form text
in a word processing document, etc
