The digital transformation and technical revolution have a significant impact in all fields. A clear reflection of this impact are the various services offered by organizations, most of of which have now become digital. Data is the focus in this revolution. This has been obvious with observing the huge amount of data, that is generated and how organizations have harnessed modern technologies such as Big Data technologies, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, to not only deal with data but also yield enhanced value out of it.

One of the most important concepts is dealing with data in a clear, systematic, and easy-to-adopt methodology. Therefore, the need for data management is the cornerstone that organizations must implement by having a comprehensive overview and establishing the foundations for managing data in a business environment. Data Management, if achieved can result in many benefits, for example, but not limited to:

  • Maintain competitive advantages in the market

  • Provide assurance to customers and stakeholders

  • Resource Management by optimizing available resources

  • Achieve compliance with regulatory requirements.
