Below are a few excerpts from the article, “3 Ways Companies Gain a Competitive Edge with Data Governance.”

Data-Driven Decision Making

“While some business leaders pride themselves on running their companies by gut instinct, wiser executives look to data. For instance, Southwest Airlines has a long history of using data to competitive advantage. In one project, they were able to use data analysis to improve fuel consumption forecasting, thus driving down costs.”

Power Innovation

“Data drives innovation in industries across the board, from healthcare to science, manufacturing to entertainment. For instance, Netflix used predictive data analytics to destroy Blockbuster in the 1990s. They have continued to use data to drive innovation, replacing mail-order with streaming and then generating popular original content such as ‘House of Cards.’”

Improve Omnichannel Retailing

“The retail industry has seen a huge shift in recent years. Malls across the country see less foot traffic and more empty shops, while customers shop online. Alternatively, customers may order an item online but return it in the store. Retailers that manage and use data wisely navigate the shift with relative ease and leap past the competition.”

Start Building a Competitive Edge with Data Governance

Data governance’s can mean the difference between a company that struggles to keep up with change and one that adapts to and even predicts future trends. However, cloud migration, the IoT and ever-complex privacy regulations make effective data management increasingly challenging.
