Create a Business Case for Metadata Management to Best Fulfill Your Data and Analytics Initiatives
Metadata management initiatives struggle to achieve and sustain business engagement. This is because the initiatives are created with limited or even no involvement from business stakeholders, meaning their real value is misunderstood. In addition, business stakeholders often don’t own their own critical roles in such initiatives. In many organizations, metadata management is still a growing discipline that represents only 12% of the time spent on data management.
We introduce here a method for increasing engagement between the IT department and the business in relation to a metadata management initiative:
-
Develop business-oriented KPIs
-
Assess the current state
-
Assign a business value to the “to be” state
