Data Governance Preparedness: Using Data Catalogs to Ensure Your Organization Has the Relevant Insights to Weather Any Crisis

The COVID-19 pandemic caught global organizations of all sizes and industries by surprise. Many have suffered dramatically, some closing their operations permanently, while others have been able to adapt but not without challenges.

Determining how to respond to the coronavirus itself is a prime example of data’s important role in shaping not only public health policies but also business processes. Transform or die is not hyperbole when it comes to the health of individuals or companies, so data literacy and intelligence is more critical than ever before.
