Enterprise-wide data use, siloed modeling and metadata management cannot be performed in a vacuum. Therefore, you have to provide data to multiple customers in different formats. This means clear and structured oversight on an organisational level with standard practices for enterprise data design, sharing, and reuse.

Find new ways you can best achieve top level capability and maturity of your data.
