An Enterprise Data Management (EDM) strategy involves getting the organizational structure right, selecting technologies that form an integrated EDM suite for handling all metadata management and data management needs, putting controls in place, and setting up data governance processes. These things together allow the enterprise to take control of data ownership, achieve compliance and raise the bar on data quality, business practice and business confidence. The keys to this EDM strategy require: a shared business vocabulary; metadata integration and metadata sharing across enterprise integration technologies; a data quality firewall; and master data management.
