Data and Information Governance

Data and Information Governance provides learners with the knowledge that establishing rules of engagement, policies, procedures, and data stewardship is essential to exercising organizational control over—and extracting maximum value from—its data assets. Good data governance helps an organization lower costs, create efficiencies, and achieve its strategic goals and objectives. Data governance provides a framework for properly managing information across the entire data lifecycle and establishes strategies in support of disaster recovery and continuity of operations. This course will prepare IT professionals to assist their organization in the definition and implementation of best practices related to the planning and implementation of managed systems that meet business, technical, security, auditing, disaster recovery, and business continuity requirements.
