Data governance is an enterprise-wide discipline with a vast purview. The picture of what data governance is getting easily muddled when you consider the many types of data: transactional data, behavioral data, performance data, temporal data, operational data, and many more. As an organization, we need a single customer view across multiple lines-of-business, for differing purposes. And those different purposes will raise questions as to the actual definition or meaning of ‘customer’. Master data governance allows a glossary of agreed terminology to be created along with particular metadata attributes which are used to define ‘customer’ and provide a standard and consistent definition across the organization. This reduces the scope for misinterpretation, misuse, confusion, and errors in the future.
