Data Governance
Data governance is crucial in today's digital age where data is considered the biggest asset. It involves managing data as an asset by understanding its value, ensuring data quality, and protecting it from risks and threats. In this section, we will explore the concept of data governance and its proactive approach. We will discuss the importance of treating data as an asset and establishing policies and rules to ensure compliance with regulations, privacy, and security. We will also highlight the role of data catalogs in data governance and how Orbus Infinity can support organizations in their data governance journey.
Importing Data Catalogs into Orbus Infinity
One of the key steps in effective data governance is the ability to import data catalogs into Orbus Infinity. This allows organizations to centralize their data and establish metadata for better data management. In this section, we will discuss different methods of importing data catalogs, including using Excel spreadsheets and leveraging the open API provided by Orbus Infinity. We will also demonstrate how to import data catalogs using the Excel add-in, providing a seamless process for importing and maintaining data catalogs.
Leveraging Data Catalogs and Repositories
Once data is imported into Orbus Infinity, organizations can leverage data catalogs and repositories for data management and analysis. In this section, we will explore the capabilities of Orbus Infinity in cataloging and maintaining data catalogs. We will discuss the importance of metadata in describing data assets and how it provides a summary of the data without having to dive into it. We will also highlight the benefits of a central repository in visualizing and analyzing data, as well as generating insights through visualizations and Power BI reports.
Security and Risk Management
Security and risk management are vital aspects of data governance. In this section, we will delve into the role of risk in organizations and discuss how Orbus Infinity can help organizations define and manage risks effectively. We will explore the importance of controlling access and permissions in mitigating risks and establishing consistent risk language. Moreover, we will examine how related objects and dependencies can assist in understanding the impact of risks on applications, technologies, and locations. Finally, we will discuss the sharing of risk information with stakeholders and the integration of risk management systems.
Creating a Data Dictionary in Orbus Infinity
A data dictionary is a valuable tool for organizations to document and define their data assets. In this section, we will discuss the process of creating a data dictionary in Orbus Infinity. We will explore the concept of utilizing SharePoint lists to store and share definitions, providing a centralized and accessible source of information. We will also highlight best practices for effective data governance and the importance of maintaining a data dictionary to ensure consistency and clarity in data management.
