The document provides an overview of data management, including its mission, goals, functions, activities, roles, and supporting technologies. It describes the 10 main functions of data management as data governance, data architecture management, data development, data operations management, data security management, reference and master data management, data warehousing/business intelligence, document and content management, metadata management, and data quality management. For each function, it lists the core activities and sub-activities. The overview aims to cover the key processes, roles, and technologies involved in comprehensive data management.

SMART Goals plan: “Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and
time-bound”, and include Strategic and non-Strategic Goals.

6. 2.2 Mission and Goals “Strategic Goals”
1. To understand the information needs of the enterprise and all its
stakeholders.
2. To capture, store, protect, and ensure the integrity of data assets.
3. To continually improve the quality of data and information, including:
