Revolutionising Data Management
Superannuation
Project: The successful implementation of a Data Governance, Data Culture, and Data Maturity Frameworks, along with Alation, to transform their Data Management landscape.
Challenges
Data Fragmentation:
They struggled with fragmented data across various departments, making it challenging to maintain data quality and consistency.
Data Security: As a financial services company, they needed to ensure data security and compliance with strict regulatory requirements.
Lack of Data Culture: There was a need to foster a data-centric culture across the organisation to promote data-driven decision-making.
Data Discovery: Employees faced difficulties in locating and understanding available data assets, resulting in inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
Solutions
Data Governance, Data Culture and Data Maturity Framework: Conducted a comprehensive assessment of existing data practices, identifying gaps and areas for improvement. Using Intelligen's IDCM Framework, they implemented a solution tailored to the company's specific needs and goals. This framework included policies, processes, and metrics for data management and culture development, enablement and adoption.
Alation Data Catalog Implementation: With the support of the Intelligen Team, our client chose Alation as their data cataloging solution due to its robust features and ease of use. The team populated Alation with metadata, enabling users to easily discover, understand, and trust data assets. We encouraged collaboration among data
users by allowing them to comment on and rate data assets within Alation.
Embedding Frameworks and Training:
Conducted training sessions for employees to familiarise them with the Data Governance and Data Culture Frameworks, emphasising their role in data management. Implemented a change management plan to ensure employees embraced the new data culture and processes.
"This successful implementation of the Data Governance, Data Culture, and Data Maturity Frameworks, along with Alation for data cataloging, has transformed our client into a data-driven organisation capable of meeting the challenges of the superannuation industry. By fostering a data culture, improving data accessibility, and ensuring data governance, This large Australian Super provider is well-positioned for long-term success and innovation in the competitive financial services landscape."
