Issue Management - Expand the scope of governance participation

People notice issues with data all the time. How can you harness their input? Kalido Data Governance Director’s native issue management enables the entire organization to log any data issues they encounter and then orchestrates the process to drive those data issues through to a resolution. Issues are routed to the appropriate people according to their role and responsibility for triage, and are alerted at each step of the process to drive action. Governance teams can easily see and analyze similar issues reported across the organization, enabling them to manage the overall process and define new policies to tackle systemic issues in a more strategic manner.

Accountability and Sustainability

Critical business processes often span the enterprise, and policy authors can struggle to sustain governance as reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, attrition or growth introduce new data sources and personnel. Kalido’s new Roles and Responsibilities engine provides process owners a framework to align policies with specific organizational roles and their responsibilities at each stage of the data lifecycle. As organizations create and define their data policies, Kalido provides smart suggestions based on the content of the policy – type of data, systems and organizational scope – that recommend which roles should be involved. The result is a simplified user experience, greater control and increased security controls.

By aligning responsibilities with roles rather than individuals, organizations ensure sustainability of data policies, streamline the policy creation process and deliver a consistent platform for continuous improvement in the face of organizational change.

Maximizing Corporate Assets

Many organizations have already developed a number of resources – data models, business process models and business glossaries – to improve efficiencies in their organization. Now, organizations can import these models into the Kalido Data Governance Director to speed up the creation and deployment of data policies, minimizing rework and reducing the time to get a data governance program off the ground. As a result, business processes have access to trusted information sooner, accelerating time to value in improving predictability of business process outcomes.

Importing

By importing, for example, a business glossary held in a spreadsheet, organizations now not only have access to the product definitions typically chronicled in a business glossary, but they can also enhance it further by capturing the relationships between items and the person who is responsible for them.

Exporting

The new exporting capabilities encourage best practice sharing and greater collaboration, both within an organization and with an organization’s partners. By being able to export particular policies, policy elements or even the unified business model itself, data governance councils can become even more efficient as they deploy increasing numbers of data policies throughout their organization.

Delivering Trusted Information to Business Processes

Business process owners finally have a means to unify process excellence and trusted information to optimize the outcome of their business processes. By managing, implementing and monitoring data policies and correlating those policies with the business processes they support, organizations can identify areas where better process management as a result of improved data significantly impacts efforts to generate revenue, adhere to compliance requirements, or contain costs. With trusted data, delivered consistently, organizations can shorten process steps, more easily identify the root cause of process breakdowns, and identify potential areas of process improvement.
