Data lies at the heart of digital transformation. Not all data. But data that’s easily accessible, high quality in nature and relevant. Unfortunately, without adequate organizational data governance measures, data can easily devolve into data for data’s sake. Something that degenerates into policies and guidance made into a support function executed by organizational IT teams, and not to mention not widely followed organizationally. Therefore, high-quality data governance ensures organizations don’t miss out on data-driven opportunities.…

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought renewed focus on public health.

With rapid digitization, especially developing countries started to experience teething troubles and have poor data policies. As the world moves toward a digital health future, inconsistency and lack of proper guidelines and recommendations are the biggest…

The amount of data generated by modern businesses is already sizable, and this will grow to gigantic proportions in the foreseeable future. The numbers help get some perspective on this burgeoning scale of data. The world produces about 5 exabytes of data (2.5 Bn GB) every day. By 2025, this number is projected to reach 463 exabytes!
