Most businesses have plenty of information on hand, but fewer have the systems in place to use it effectively.  That’s where strategic data management comes in.  This guide walks you through the best practice steps for effective data management, including how to set business goals that guide your strategy, build the right systems and team, improve the quality of your business data, and create reports and insights your team can turn into tangible results.  It’s the framework we use to help businesses across New Zealand and Australia turn disorganised data into a commercial advantage.

HERE'S WHAT'S INSIDE

What is data management?

First, we look at what modern data management actually is, and why it helps companies dominate their industries.

 

Goal setting and leadership buy-in

Data strategy doesn’t succeed without executive ownership.  This guide discusses how to align your projects and budget with commercial outcomes – and why your leadership team must be the driving force behind your data efforts.

 

The data mart - a strategic insights engine

A data mart will help your teams find the information they need, without having to dig through spreadsheets and disconnected systems.  It provides your business with a single source of truth, consolidating all your key information into an insight hub. 

 

Importance of data quality and integrity

With data, trust is everything.  Without it, even your best strategies will fall short.  This guide provides a brief outline of the five steps to better data quality and how data cleaning helps ensure consistency and confidence in every report and forecast.

 

Building internal and external support teams

Even large organisations rarely have the necessary capability in-house.  We discuss essential internal roles and how external partners such as Datamine can provide experience and capacity for your digital transformation.

 

Company-wide benefits of effective data management

Data isn’t just for IT teams – it benefits everybody.  It can help sales can close more deals, marketing can run more targeted campaigns, and finance can report faster.

 

How to lead a data-driven transformation

Strategy without execution is just a good intention.  This part of the guide demonstrates how to get started, maintain momentum and drive tangible business results.
