Emergence of the Corporate Data Team

This presentation brings a common awareness about the corporate data team that most organizations are establishing as they go through their enterprise transformation and modernization journey. The corporate data team, often referred to as the Data Office, serves as a critical function responsible for managing data quality, governance, and integration across disparate source systems providing accessibility to analytics and reporting for all business departments in the organization. This case study explores the history of how organizations typically handled data in the past and how technology as well as data practices have evolved to leverage data to become a critical element for an organization’s enterprise strategy. We will examine how the data team is structured, the impact of each of the key roles (such as data engineers and data scientists), how data is governed, and the data architecture that is supported by a centralized data team. The presentation also reviews the technical and organizational challenges faced by modern corporate data teams. This session should demonstrate why organizations have had to mature their data practices to accelerate business outcomes and efficiently manage data for strategic growth.
