How Mature is your Data Driven Enterprise?

Spreadsheets / “Spreadmarts”

This is where companies start. Basic, source data is ungoverned at departmental levels and all that information is stored in familiar spreadsheets.

Data Lake / Warehouse

A centralized repository of data from a number of sources is often the next level data driven enterprises achieve. Large amounts of data sit waiting to be analyzed to support decision making.

Data Governance

With a store of raw, processed data it’s important to implement controls to keep the data meaningful to your organization.

Master Data Management

Even with strong data governance, problems with duplications, inaccuracy or incomplete data can arise. With Master Data Management (MDM), these problems are accounted for and reconciled.

Big Data and External Data and Social

Companies at this stage will be on their way to being able to predict “what will happen next.” Using various sources of ever-changing data, organizations will have the ability to see what changes will make ripples and what will make waves.

Advanced Visualization

Enriching the sophisticated data in an easy to understand format will help those at every level of an organization find valuable insights. Complex data laid out visually provides clarity to strategic business choices.

Embedded Analytics

Shift the question from “what will happen?” to “what should we do?” At this stage of a data driven enterprise, data should be able to develop possible solutions to questions about meeting goals and key objectives.

When the foundations are set, it’s possible to automate an untold number of tasks.
