Monetizing Data Management - Finding the Value in Your Organization's Most Important Asset (Paperback)

Whats the Return on Investment (ROI) on data management? Sound like an impossible question to answer? Not if you read this book and learn the value-added approach to managing enterprise resources and assets. This book defines the five interrelated best practices that comprise data management, and shows you how by example to successfully communicate data management ROI to senior management. The 17 cases we share will help you to identify opportunities to introduce data management into the strategic conversations that occur in the C-suite. You will gain a new perspective regarding the stewardship of your data assets and insulate your operations from the chaos, losses and risks that result from traditional approaches to technological projects. And you will learn how to protect yourself from legal challenges resulting from out-sourced information technology projects gone badly due to incorrect project sequencing and focus. With the emerging acceptance and adoption of revised performance standards, your organisation will be better prepared to face the coming big data deluge! The book contains four chapters: Chapter 1 gives a somewhat unique perspective to the practice of leveraging data. We describe the motivations and delineate the specific challenges preventing most organisations from making substantial progress in this area; Chapter 2 presents 11 cases where leveraging data has produced positive financial results that can be presented in language of immediate interest to C-level executives. To the degree possible, we have quantified the effect that data management has had in terms that will be meaningful to them also; Chapter 3 describes five instances taken from the authors' experiences with various governmental defence departments. The lessons in this section however can be equally applied to many non-profit and non-defence governmental organisations; Chapter 4 speaks specifically to the interaction of data management practices, in terms of both information technology projects and legal responsibilities. Reading it can help your organisation to avoid a number of perils, stay out of court and better vet contractors, experts and other helpers who play a role in organisation information technology development.
