Presented at 3rd Chief Digital Officer Asia Summit
The idea behind Data democratization is to enable every type of user in a company to have access to data and to ensure that there is no dependency on any single party that might create a bottleneck to data access. But this is easier said than done especially given the complex data management landscape that most organizations have today. Data virtualization is a modern data integration technique that not only delivers data in real time without replication but also simplifies data discovery, data exploration and navigating between related data sets.
In this on-demand session, you will understand how data virtualization enables enterprises to:
- Reduce up to 80% the time required to deliver data to the business adapted to the needs of each user
- Apply consistent security and governance policies across the self-service data delivery process
- Seamlessly implement the concept of 'Data Marketplace'

How to Strengthen Enterprise Data Governance with Data QualityDATAVERSITY
If your organization is in a highly-regulated industry – or relies on data for competitive advantage – data governance is undoubtedly a top priority. Whether you’re focused on “defensive” data governance (supporting regulatory compliance and risk management) or “offensive” data governance (extracting the maximum value from your data assets, and minimizing the cost of bad data), data quality plays a critical role in ensuring success.
Join our webinar to learn how enterprise data quality drives stronger data governance, including:
The overlaps between data governance and data quality
The “data” dependencies of data governance – and how data quality addresses them
Key considerations for deploying data quality for data governance
Enterprise Data Management Framework OverviewJohn Bao Vuu
A solid data management foundation to support big data analytics and more importantly a data-driven culture is necessary for today’s organizations.
A mature Data Management Program can reduce operational costs and enable rapid business growth and development. Data Management program must evolve to monetize data assets, deliver breakthrough innovation and help drive business strategies in new markets.
Tackling Data Quality problems requires more than a series of tactical, one-off improvement projects. By their nature, many Data Quality problems extend across and often beyond an organization. Addressing these issues requires a holistic architectural approach combining people, process, and technology. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide practical ways to control Data Quality issues in your organization.
This presentation reports on data governance best practices. Based on a definition of fundamental terms and the business rationale for data governance, a set of case studies from leading companies is presented. The content of this presentation is a result of the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Data Quality Strategy: A Step-by-Step ApproachFindWhitePapers
Learn about the importance of having a data quality strategy and setting the overall goals. The six factors of data are also explained in detail and how to tie it together for implementation.
Business Intelligence & Data Analytics– An Architected ApproachDATAVERSITY
Business intelligence (BI) and data analytics are increasing in popularity as more organizations are looking to become more data-driven. Many tools have powerful visualization techniques that can create dynamic displays of critical information. To ensure that the data displayed on these visualizations is accurate and timely, a strong Data Architecture is needed. Join this webinar to understand how to create a robust Data Architecture for BI and data analytics that takes both business and technology needs into consideration.
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of a high quality. Determining how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing Data Quality Management effectively in support of business strategy, which in turn allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues. Organizations must realize what it means to utilize Data Quality engineering in support of business strategy. This webinar will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor Data Quality. Showing how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This in turn allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.

Learning Objectives:
Understanding foundational data quality concepts based on the DAMA DMBOK
Utilizing data quality engineering in support of business strategy
Case Studies illustrating data quality success
Data quality guiding principles & best practices
Steps for improving data quality at your organization
Reference matter data management:
Two categories of structured data :
Master data: is data associated with core business entities such as customer, product, asset, etc.
Transaction data: is the recording of business transactions such as orders in manufacturing, loan and credit card payments in banking, and product sales in retail.
Reference data: is any kind of data that is used solely to categorize other data found in a database, or solely for relating data in a database to information beyond the boundaries of the enterprise .
Data Catalogs Are the Answer – What is the Question?DATAVERSITY
Organizations with governed metadata made available through their data catalog can answer questions their people have about the organization’s data. These organizations get more value from their data, protect their data better, gain improved ROI from data-centric projects and programs, and have more confidence in their most strategic data.
Join Bob Seiner for this lively webinar where he will talk about the value of a data catalog and how to build the use of the catalog into your stewards’ daily routines. Bob will share how the tool must be positioned for success and viewed as a must-have resource that is a steppingstone and catalyst to governed data across the organization.

Most Common Data Governance Challenges in the Digital EconomyRobyn Bollhorst
Todays’ increasing emphasis on differentiation in the digital economy further complicates the data governance challenge. Learn about today’s common challenges and about the new adaptations that are required to support the digital era. Avoid the pitfalls and follow along on Johnson & Johnson’s journey to:
- Establish and scale a best in class enterprise data governance program
- Identify and focus on the most critical data and information to bolster incremental wins and garner executive support
- Ensure readiness for automation with SAP MDG on HANA
Data Governance and Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
Metadata is a tool that improves data understanding, builds end-user confidence, and improves the return on investment in every asset associated with becoming a data-centric organization. Metadata’s use has expanded beyond “data about data” to cover every phase of data analytics, protection, and quality improvement. Data Governance and metadata are connected at the hip in every way possible. As the song goes, “You can’t have one without the other.”
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will provide a way to renew your energy by focusing on the valuable asset that can make or break your Data Governance program’s success. The truth is metadata is already inherent in your data environment, and it can be leveraged by making it available to all levels of the organization. At issue is finding the most appropriate ways to leverage and share metadata to improve data value and protection.
Throughout this webinar, Bob will share information about:
- Delivering an improved definition of metadata
- Communicating the relationship between successful governance and metadata
- Getting your business community to embrace the need for metadata
- Determining the metadata that will provide the most bang for your bucks
- The importance of Metadata Management to becoming data-centric

Based on webinar numbers, hot Data Governance topics have evolved over the years from policies and best practices, roles and tools, data catalogs and frameworks, to supporting data mesh and fabric, artificial intelligence, virtualization, literacy, and metadata governance.
Join Bob Seiner as he reflects on the past and what has and has not worked, while sharing examples of enterprise successes and struggles. In this webinar, Bob will challenge the audience to stay a step ahead by learning from the past and blazing a new trail into the future of Data Governance.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Data Governance’s past, present, and future
- How trials and tribulations evolve to success
- Leveraging lessons learned to improve productivity
- The great Data Governance tool explosion
- The future of Data Governance
Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program
Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.
Join Donna Burbank and her guest, Nigel Turner, as they discuss how data models & metadata-driven data governance can be applied in your organization in order to achieve improved data quality.
Too often I hear the question “Can you help me with our Data Strategy?” Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component – the Data Strategy itself. A more useful request is this: “Can you help me apply data strategically?”Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) Data Strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive –particularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tyson’s truism: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” Refocus on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. This approach can also contribute to three primary organizational data goals.
In this webinar, you will learn how improving your organization’s data, the way your people use data, and the way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs, as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (Data Strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why Data Strategy is necessary for effective Data Governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of Data Strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Building a Data Strategy – Practical Steps for Aligning with Business GoalsDATAVERSITY
Developing a Data Strategy for your organization can seem like a daunting task – but it’s worth the effort. Getting your Data Strategy right can provide significant value, as data drives many of the key initiatives in today’s marketplace, from digital transformation to marketing, customer centricity, population health, and more. This webinar will help demystify Data Strategy and its relationship to Data Architecture and will provide concrete, practical ways to get started.
Master Data Management - Practical Strategies for Integrating into Your Data ...DATAVERSITY
Master Data Management (MDM) provides organizations with an accurate and comprehensive view of their business-critical data such as Customers, Products, Vendors, and more.

Analytics Isn’t Enough To Create A Data–Driven CultureaNumak & Company
The earned values are perhaps compatible with older technologies. As we believe big data and AI are extensions of analytical capabilities, the most common and most likely to succeed are those related to "advanced analytics and better decisions."
Data democratization is the concept of creating a self-serve data layer where business users can access and manipulate data efficiently and effectively. This makes a more agile and flexible way to handle data based on your company's needs rather than being forced to compromise on user experience

Big Data and Analytics: The New Underpinning for Supply Chain Success? - 17 F...Lora Cecere
Executive Overview
Today data is everywhere: but, nowhere. The world’s per capita capacity to store information has doubled every 40 months since the 1980s; and as of 2012, every day globally, 2.5 exabytes of data are created . As a result, social and customer data piles on the doorstep of the corporation, and operational data sits in the creases and cracks between functions. While many companies invested in data warehouse technologies and advanced applications for optimization, a common complaint in qualitative interviews with business leaders is “I cannot get to my data.” One business leader likened it to a Hotel California where, “The data checks into the system, but does not check out.” In most companies with heterogeneous information technology landscapes, simple reporting is still a major problem.
In the face of growing data, companies struggle with the basics. The question is, “Why pursue a big data and analytics strategy if the company cannot do basis reporting?” No doubt about it, the current state of analytics is a barrier to building supply chain excellence. It is hard to have a data-driven discussion if you can’t get access to data.
Integrated Demand Management-When Will We Start Using Downstream Data-7 Nov 2012Lora Cecere
For the purposes of this report, downstream data is defined as data that originates downstream on the demand side of the value chain. It can include point-of-sale data, T-log data, distributor data, social and unstructured data sources, retail withdrawal data and retail forecasts. Integrated demand signal management is the use of this data in a more holistic and integrated demand management process.
The use of channel data is evolving and this report is designed to give the industry an update on progress. Data for this report is based on two inputs: quantitative survey data from twenty-nine respondents (manufacturers) that use downstream data for integrated demand signal management, and qualitative input from attendees at an Integrated Demand Signal Management event that was attended by eleven manufacturers and four retailers. Data was collected in the fall of 2012.
While the study demographic is a small number, the respondents represent an experienced panel group. In the study, 90% of the respondents were using downstream data. The average time of usage is four years.
Few decades ago, Managers relied on their instincts to take business decisions. They could afford to make mistakes and learn from it. Today, the scope for learning from mistakes is very minimal. Instincts should be backed by data to minimise mistakes.
Technological advancements, in addition to opening new channels of communication with customers, have also enabled organizations to collect vital information about their businesses with customers. But, have these organizations fully leveraged this data?
Today, Organizations make use of data for business decisions, but the data is not close enough to the customer to reap maximum benefit. In many cases, importance is not given to the granularity of data. The probability of “customer centric” decisions being right could be high, if the top management makes better use of the end user customer data (such as point of sale data, voice of customer, social media buzz etc.) to devise business strategies.
Data analytics and digital transformation go hand in hand. Data analytics provides the foundation upon which digital transformation can thrive. By harnessing the power of data, organizations can make informed decisions and create personalized experiences for their customers.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).

Your
Organization with
Accessible
Data Insights
Democratizing Your
Data:
www.polestarllp.com
2. Operating in today's increasingly
hyper-competitive and fast-paced
environment, everyone in the
organization must have an apt view of
the data that defines their business.
Gone are the days of having one or
more analysts on board to parse data
for all. In a climate marked by rapid
change and multiple disruptions, no
one person can be the ears and eyes
of an entire organization.
In the current scenario, every business is inundated with data from
every angle. There is pressure to utilize insights we glean from the
data to improve and enhance business performance. As a result of this
humongous amount of data to process and new tech that helps non-
technical people make sense of the data, there is a desire and demand
for Data Democratization to make better-informed decisions and respond
rapidly to what's happening in the marketplace.
Let's explain through this guide what that means, the need, benefits,
and best practices of data democratization, and the transformations
that have transpired to support this effort.
Introduction
www.polestarllp.com
In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards data
democratization, driven by advances in technology, changes in the
regulatory landscape, and increasing demand for data-driven insights
across all sectors. The process of making data more accessible and
available to a wider range of people, with the aim of empowering
individuals and organizations to make better decisions based on
insights gained from data.
3. Defining Data
Democratization
Data democratization is when an
enterprise makes data accessible to
all stakeholders and employees and
educates them on how to work with
data, regardless of their technical
know-how and background.
It means that everyone has access to
data, as there are no gatekeepers that
create roadblocks at the gateway to the
data. It needs to accompany the access
in a smart way for people to know the
data to utilize it to accelerate
decision-making and uncover
opportunities for an enterprise. The
goal is to have anyone use data anytime
to make decisions without barriers to
access or understanding.
In a nutshell, data democratization is
all about resolving the data
complexities organizations face daily.
And with the pace of change in the data
landscape and people's requirements,
even the potential data teams struggle
to meet the belief of numerous teams.
Data
democratization can
transform companies
by unleashing the
value of
information locked
within
organizational data
stores.
www.polestarllp.com
4. Why Does It
Matter?
Before data democratization became popular,
business users would waste ample amounts of
time searching for data, accessing it, and
waiting for approval to utilize it.
Historically, IT departments owned most or all
of the data. Business users would navigate to
IT teams to ask for access to a particular
data set, and IT would hand over a huge,
unruly spreadsheets in return.
Even though we have come a long way, many enterprises still take an ad hoc
approach, where IT teams own the data. This process creates issues for
business analysts as they can not easily access and utilize the data to
make data-driven business decisions. Some data executives fear
democratizing data because of security and privacy related issues, but in
reality, most data-driven enterprises train their employees to utilize
data correctly and make informed business decisions with this data.
This process curated a bottleneck for business analysts and prevented the
organization from becoming data-driven. It meant data only reside in one
area, and the rest of the organization had to fight to access i.e.

5. What Is The
Core Purpose Of
Data Democratization?
Data democratization has numerous different outcomes, leading to greater
profitability, efficiency, and success for the business. Data
democratization serves other purposes for various departments or roles
across an organization. Here are some examples:
Sales: Sales reps use data to gauge the status and value
of different opportunities in their pipeline.
Marketing: Marketing teams utilize data to test disparate
variations and campaigns on graphics and copy within those
campaigns to reach their targeted audience more cost-
effectively.
Customer Support and Service: Currently, support teams
utilize data to rapidly gauge the facts about a customer
to offer better service to create support to rapidly pull
up customer data, involving past purchases, to get a
granular view of what's happening.
Human Resources: Recruiters and managers can utilize data
to rapidly send and find the right messaging to apt
candidates, as well as analyse and categorize the volumes
of resumes they receive.
Research & Development: Teams can utilize data to gauge
which benefits or features are in the highest demand and
adjust the product to meet consumer requirements.
Leadership Executive: The C-suite can utilize data to
swiftly get a 360-degree view of the businesses and
determine which strategic initiatives are offering the
most ROI.

7. Data Democratization
Strategies To Resolve
These Complexities
The following are the strategies and steps that you can
follow to assist and establish data democratization and
glean benefits from it.
01
02
Data Source Mapping is a critical start to data democratization,
as knowing where data comes from is quintessential to
understanding that data.
Data Accounting is just as crucial as source mapping as knowing
the source is just half the picture. You are required to
understand what is in the data sets to analyze them accordingly.
04
05
Data Governance strategies will ascertain how the data is
accessed, who accesses the data, and then treated within the
curbs of democratization and related business aims. Even with
democratization, data should be protected with encryption
processes and technology.
Data Management mechanisms should also be implemented to
relentlessly carry out objectives from data quality and
transformation to privacy policies and data migration.
03
Data Silo Directories require to be set up so that users must
locate the data they require once democratization has been
established. Enterprise can also track who is accessing what
data.
06
Middleware Strategy is typically a part of data management
(DM), is significant to unifying multi-sourced data. This might
include the curation of a single data pool connected to all or
some apt data sources or numerous data banks fauceting into
separate segments with specific set objectives.

8. Benefits Of Data
Democratization
Organizations should
consider making enterprise
data readily available to
their users for many
reasons. Here are five key
benefits of democratizing
data.
www.polestarllp.com
9. 1. Expedite Decision-
making - Being able
to make decisions on
a dime, supported by
quality data, is a
hallmark of agile,
data-driven
organizations. By
embracing data
democratization and
promoting data
literacy, a regular
user in marketing
operations can
function as a data
analyst while
evaluating the
outcome of a
marketing campaign.
Equipping data users
with autonomous
decision-making can
earn a competitive
advantage over
businesses stuck in
the past.
2. Improve Operations -
Expanding access to
enterprise data
streamlines operations
among functional areas of
the business. Removing
barriers to information
means less time wasted
accessing individual data
silos or attending
project status meetings.
Within a data democracy,
for example, sales
benefit from marketing
data governance and the
ability to access
marketing data to monitor
the leads generated by a
specific campaign. And
marketers can access
sales data to see the
effectiveness of a new
marketing channel.
3. Enhance Customer
Experiences - In the
current scenario,
consumers expect
excellent customer
service — they expect
excellence throughout
their complete
consumer experience
or the sum of all
their interactions
with the brands.
Businesses that
provide every
employee involved in
the consumer journey
access to crucial
info are better
positioned to meet
consumers'
expectations and
changing
requirements. The
bottom line is that
people like to stay
informed. By making
data available to
consumers, companies
can deliver a better
overall customer
experience.
Benefits Of Data
Democratization

10. www.polestarllp.com
4. Support A Modern
Workforce - Numerous
organizations find ways
to make sure that their
employees can be
effective while working
in remote conditions.
Data democratization
allows users to access
the information they need
quickly and immediately,
so decisions made outside
the office are equally
resounding and robust.
That brings us to the
idea that enabling your
employees with relevant
data points equips them
with the resources to
improve performance,
which in turn, empowers
your team.
5. Empower Employees -
Empowered employees are
committed and confident to
meaningful business
objectives and take the
initiative to achieve them
as fast as possible.
Simply giving more people
broader access to info
empowers each employee to
drive and influence
business growth.
Democratizing data can
also promote a collective
culture that fosters
innovation.
Now that you have grasped the benefits
of data democratization, you can
significantly increase the value of
your business data and utilize it to
curate a competitive benefit out of it
by instrumenting democratization of
data and analytics best practices
discussed.
According to Data Democratization
report, 99% of business leaders say
they see benefits once data
democratization is underway
12. As an organization grows, so do the
volume, variety, and velocity of
incoming data and the challenges
associated with managing it.
Information becomes siloed in systems
and is accessible by relevant teams
only, offering users a myopic vision of
the data space.
An in-depth understanding of the data
ecosystem and the fragmented systems is
integral to designing an integrated
data space that offers all the users a
holistic view of the information
assets, along with the metadata and
context they need to feel more
confident about the relevance and
trustworthiness of data.
1. Gain an Understanding of
the Entire Data Ecosystem
2. Make Data Available to Everyone
In most organizations, data
integration and analysis tools sit
with IT departments that act as data
gatekeepers, with business users at
the mercy of data scientists to gain
access to relevant data for BI and
analytics. This can result in a data
management process that is slow,
frictional, and highly IT-reliant.
Businesses that wish to take advantage
of data democratization must invest in
data integration and analysis tools
that offer the same usability and
performance to everyone, from
developers to end-users with limited
technical knowledge. These integration
tools are necessary for an
organization's democratization of data
and analytics.
www.polestarllp.com
13. 3. Tame Your Legacy Data
Data democratization is not just about
making new data accessible for
analysis and reporting. It also
involves liberating the data trapped
within legacy systems to answer
questions not contemplated by people
who originally collected this
information.
However, legacy systems are inherently
inflexible and can hamper the data
democratization efforts of any
organization. To overcome the
challenge and integrate legacy data
into modern infrastructures,
businesses must invest in data
integration tools that offer instant
API connectivity to popular databases
and cloud-based systems and
applications to ensure
interoperability.
4. Empower Users with Self-Service
Analytics
For enterprises to democratize data, they
must delegate their users to access data
and make reporting and data analysis part
of day-to-day operations.
Although data integration and BI tools
and technologies have evolved
dramatically over the past few years,
finding a data management platform that
facilitates data access, analysis, and
reporting in highly consumable ways
remains an ongoing quest for most
enterprises. The solution to the problem
lies in finding a data integration
solution that lets you take advantage of
the data that resides in previously
disconnected systems, offers out-of-the-
box connectivity to BI and analytics
tools, and allows employees without
technical knowledge to manipulate and
analyze data quickly.
www.polestarllp.com
14. 5. Train Employees on How to Best utilize Data
Data governance goes side-to-side with data democratization, and the
dearth of a data governance plan can swiftly result in poor
decisions, information overload, and reputational risk.
To avoid these flaws of data democratization, everyone in the
company should be trained on how to best utilize the data, the
significance of knowing data lineage, and how it can be changed for
Business Intelligence and analytics. With that in mind,
organizations can dramatically increase the value of their business
data and use it to create a competitive advantage by implementing
the democratization of data and analytics best practices.
Use real-world examples and scenarios to make the training more
relevant and practical through surveys, interviews, or assessments.
By following these practices, organizations can effectively train
employees on how to best use data, and empower them to make data-
driven decisions.
www.polestarllp.com
15. The Future Of
Data Democratization
There are still a lot of issues concerning data democratization, as
companies are not ready to let general employees access sensitive business
data. Data democratization is enroute to being the future of streamlined
data management (DM), where employees can understand and access data
better, harness it to improve and enhance business growth, and deliver
better customer experiences (CX).
