Data is a critical resource for every organization. We depend on data every day to keep records, produce reports, deliver information, monitor performance, make decisions, and much more. The data resource is on par with financial and human resources as a core component of doing business, yet data management practices are often quite casual. Data governance brings the same level of discipline to data management as is typical when managing financial and human resources.

Building a data governance program is a complex process that focuses people, processes, policies, rules, and regulations to achieve specific goals for a managed data resource. Successful and effective data governance depends on clear goals and well executed activities that match governance practices to your organization’s needs, capabilities, and culture. A continuously evolving program is necessary to keep pace with trends such as cloud services, big data, and agile development. This course provides fundamental understanding of data governance concepts and techniques that is essential to start a new governance program or evolve an existing program.  

There are no prerequisites for this course.

TDWI Data Governance Fundamentals: Managing Data as an Asset Training Course in Sweden

Sweden is a Nordic country that borders Norway, Finland and Denmark. The name "Sweden" originated from the "Svear", a people mentioned by the Roman author Tacitus. While being the largest Nordic country, Sweden is the fifth-largest country in Europe. Sweden has a total population of 10.4 million. The capital and largest city is Stockholm. About 15 percent of the country lies within the Arctic Circle, so that's why from May until mid-July, sunlight lasts all day in the north of the Arctic Circle. On the other hand, during December, the capital citt experiences only about 5.5 hours of daylight.

When in Sweden, visiting Stockholm's Old Town Gamla Stan, Sweden's most popular museum Vasa Museum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site; Drottningholm Palace is highly recommended.
