2019 – Creating a Successful Data Governance System and Data Dictionary in the Cloud

Presentation Summary

This interactive session presents how Ithaca College in NY took lessons from an unsuccessful top-down initiative, created a new approach, and empowered a diverse group of data professionals to design and implement an innovative data governance process. The Ithaca team also presents the current state of the new two-tiered governance system and discusses the recent endeavor to create their own data dictionary with cloud tools in the Azure. The audience will be encouraged to share their own experiences and participate in brainstorming factors that may significantly influence an institution’s ability to build a successful, inclusive data governance system and tool.
