Sunil Soares recently shared a case study of Data Governance in the oil industry. He writes, “In their 2009 research note Warning: Don’t Assume Your Business Processes Use Master Data – Synchronize Your Business Process And Master Data Strategies, Rob Karel, Clay Richardson, Connie Moore, and Charles Coit from Forrester Research stress the importance of integrating business processes and data governance. Organizations tend to create and govern their data and processes separately—but there is a lot of value in bringing them together.”
Soares continues, “This article maps data governance policies to a simple process to monitor oil field sensor data. Figure 1 [above] describes this process of managing oil field sensor data including key activities and milestones. Â Table 1 provides a description of these milestones and activities.” See Table 1 here.
