Enterprise Data Governance and Management

This chapter discusses the general aspects of enterprise data governance and data management and how it is influenced by Big Data, which modern agile data driven companies need to handle. Companies planning to benefit from the data available need to adopt new business and operational models to achieve their main business goals and get their financial profit and ROI (Return On Investment). This will typically require some investments both in Big Data Infrastructure (computer hardware and software), business process adjustment/re-organisation and staff development or hiring.
