Companies have access to a wide variety of data from various sources in different formats and it is easy to lose the overview of what information is available. In addition, poor data quality devalues reporting and analytical endeavors. The starting point to effectively manage data and to increase its value is the implementation of effective data governance processes.
Data governance incorporates a set of processes, roles, policies, standards, and metrics that enable the effective and efficient use of information. It is the practice of identifying important data across an organization, ensuring high data quality, and improving its value to business. Primary tasks include capturing the meaning of data available in a company ideally in a structured way in the form of a glossary and business data model, attaining a comprehensive overview of the current state of data quality, and the standardization of business domain values across an organization.
Accurity is a data governance platform specifically designed to support these tasks and processes. It helps to easily organize business terms and relate them to your data catalog and business processes. Moreover, it offers the possibility to efficiently monitor data quality and to organize reference data.
Driven by BCBS 239, BRD implemented Accurity Glossary across their organization. They used Accurity Glossary to document and define over 15,000 attributes with over 3,000 data mappings. It is being used by almost every department in the bank with 50-60 active editors and between 150 and 200 users spread across 19 departments.
