Data Governance Center
Get Started
Features
The Data Governance Center centralizes all data governance and stewardship activities, managing business definitions, KPIs, and supporting data stewards. It ensures traceability between business and technical assets, policies, and rules, aiming for consistent, trusted, and high-quality data across the institution.
- Business Glossary
The business glossary is used to define, collaborate and align critical business definitions. The glossary helps to improve our understanding of business terminology so we can communicate more effectively across the institution.
- Data Dictionary
The data dictionary leverages the terms from the business glossary and maps them to the actual tables and attributes in our systems like Banner and the Enterprise Accounting System and our analytical applications like the data warehouse.
- Portfolio
The portfolio is used to document the details related to a report, cube, or visualization.
- Issue Management
Issue management is a centralized way to report data quality issues that can then be resolved by the data governance team. Report issues, resolve them through triage and review, escalation and assignment to the right resources, and then notify the appropriate parties of the proposed solution.
- Policies, Rules & Standards
These tools provide the ability to define and manage policies in collaboration with stakeholders and break them down into a rules hierarchy.
