Driving Business Transformation through Data Governance Strategies
February 20, 2019

The CIO’s traditional role of overseeing an enterprise’s technology strategy and procurement is no longer straightforward. As the business world moves to a more decentralized technology model and shadow IT runs rampant, CIOs are no longer completely in control of technology within the business, the data it creates, or the security processes around it.
Gartner predicts that 50 percent of the data generated will soon be outside the corporate data center, generated by IoT applications and edge computing devices. As a result, CIOs must modernize their data strategy, ensuring it can seamlessly and reliably feed data insights from across the whole business into a technology strategy that will deliver digital transformation.
However, with new data privacy regulations and issues with data ownership and algorithmic bias, using data to drive insight is not easily understood.

Before we knew it, we had data warehouses and business intelligence (BI) tools. Soon after, big data appeared, and smart people realized the relational database and data warehouse weren’t very good for that. Search engines, Apache Hadoop, NoSQL databases, Apache Kafka, et al., got more attention.
The jump from data warehouses to “big data platforms,” especially Apache Hadoop, wasn’t nearly as smooth as we all hoped. Analytical queries were slow, sometimes acceptably (like with MapReduce), but often not. People tried to bolt on data warehouse business intelligence (BI) tools onto their Hadoop deployment, and that approach didn’t work, either. People blamed Hadoop and data lakes.
