Global Data Excellence (GDE) provides a radically different approach to maximizing business process efficiency and reducing enterprise risk using enterprise data.
Global Data Excellence (GDE) is a product solutions company providing data governance products operationalizing a holistic thus pragmatic Framework to measure the business value of enterprise data and govern the business impact of non-compliant data on business processes and transactions. This "show me the money" approach presents the cost and risks of non-compliant data in monetary terms which is compelling both for the business process owners focused on process improvement / efficiency and the data management teams responsible for data related issue resolution. So rather than business process owners saying "so what" when they see the results of a data quality audit, they can now see the business impact in dollars. As a result, they see the value of a DG initiative and are motivated to actively participate.
GDE deliver a proven data governance product solution called the Data Excellence Management System (DEMS) embedding the GDE's Data Excellence Framework (DEF) and linking data quality to business impact and value, supporting a sustainable data governance process to:
- Align and link business objectives with data management processes using business rules and data quality.
- Measure and Visualize the business value of enterprise data and the business impact of non- compliant data on business processes and transactions.
- Organize and Execute sustainable data governance processes based on accountability within the business at the business rule level and responsibility within the data management team at the data attribute level.
GDE's Data Excellence Framework (DEF) is a full, non-invasive and progressive proven execution framework which describes the methodology, environment, processes and roles required to generate business value by improving business processes using data quality and business rules. The framework supports the creation of a new cultural shift focused on data excellence, motivating the broader team and supporting collaboration between the stakeholders. The framework promotes a sustainable data governance culture of "first time right", using existing infrastructure and resources. GDE provides a range of business and technology consulting services from building the business case for data quality to full implementation of the Data Excellence Framework supporting growth and delivering a competitive advantage from enterprise data.
