The case study company received the latest report from the enterprise content management (ECM) consultant on existing data governance within the company. Sadly, the report was not very long because there is not very much data governance within the organization. On the positive side, the slate is relatively clean, and the consultant is free to establish a sound set of data governance policies and procedures for the future. As a final phase of the project, the ECM consultant will establish new and improved data governance policies and procedures in the areas of data quality, data management, data policies, business process management, and risk management. What factors will be important in good data governance, and what should a good data governance plan include?
