    Overall Benefits of a Cloud Governance Program

    The following are key benefits of having a solid data governance program:

    • Breakdown data silos – data silos rise where teams operate without centralized coordination, resulting in different data sets that have undergone different manipulations.
    • Harmonize organizational data – if all data in the organization is consistent, all operations will operate using the same data, increasing their efficacy, and eventually improving performance.
    • Ensure proper data usage – authorized users access and use the data as required to avoid errors and block potential abuse and misuse of personal, sensitive, or proprietary data.
    • Balance privacy mandates with data collection practices – observe privacy regulations while collecting data to aid business decision-making.
    • Harmonize data policies – create uniform policies and procedures to monitor and enforce adherence to said policies continuously.
    • Improve data quality – this results in more accurate BI insights, eliminates data redundancy, decreases data management costs, and allows for stronger regulatory compliance.
