Data Governance in a Consumer Packaged World, differs from that in the Finance or Medical fields. We do not govern personal information: we govern our customers, our products, and our pricing. We work through multiple routes to market. This made the search for a Data Governance Tool challenging. Our journey included a 6-month search for "THE" Data Governance Tool, the tool we thought would solve all issues and churn out the perfect reports. In the end we felt a bit like Goldilocks, there just didn't seem to be the right fit. We decided to build our own matching and reporting tools and we'd like to share the experience, where we are now and what the future holds.
We'll share with you:
