DATA GOVERNANCE
PRESENTED BY:
CARMEN MCKENZIE, SBCTC

THE STATE OF OUR DATA –
ANCIENT HISTORY
• Grew up as separate systems
(SMS, FAS, PPMS, FMS)
• Lots of local management
decisions
• CIS and SBCTC would indicate
what data elements needed to
be standardized
THE STATE OF OUR DATA –
ANCIENT HISTORY
• Reporting done from within the
area responsible for the system
• Technology did not easily
facilitate cross- functional
reporting.
THE STATE OF OUR DATA –
MODERN HISTORY
• Institutional Research (IR)
• Accountability (WSQA)
• Initiatives
• Student Achievement
• Achieving the Dream
• External data usage
THE STATE OF OUR DATA –
MODERN HISTORY
•
Technology advances
• SQL servers – place to pull HPSA data
• Operation Data Store (ODS)
• ODBC connections
• More and more reliance upon
data
DATA QUALITY
• Consistency
• Conformance to business
definition
• Conformance to data formats
• Definition interpretation
DATA QUALITY
• Not an IT problem
THE STATE OF OUR DATA –
OUR FUTURE
•
• On demand data
• Analytics
WHAT IS DATA GOVERNANCE?
• We are already managing data
in our system.
• RPC Data Stewards
• BAC Chart of Accounts workgroup
• A Data Governance program will
formalize and standardize the
process.
WHAT IS DATA GOVERNANCE?
• An emerging discipline that
combines
• data management,
• data quality, and
• data policies
through a system of decision rights.
WHAT IS DATA GOVERNANCE?
• A program, not a project
• Not a one-time effort
• Requires ongoing monitoring to
promote continuous
improvement.
WHY DO WE NEED DATA
GOVERNANCE?
External Evaluation recommendations:
• An Efficiency Study recommendation
• Recommended by Gartner for the
ctcLink project
WHY DO WE NEED DATA
GOVERNANCE?
• To put a structure to our data
management already in place
• To ensure standard data for
ctcLink and state decision making
• To ensure accountability and
identification of responsible parties
WORK DONE TO DATE
• BAC and RPC joined forces to create a Data Task
Force
• Included two members per commission and five
members from RPC
• Data Task force met regularly to get educated
about data governance and to create an
Operating Model
• Data Task Force presented to the WACTC
Technology committee and received the
recommendation that RPC sponsor the activity
• RPC agreed to sponsor this activity and created the
standing Data Governance Committee.
DATA TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATION
• Implement a Non-Invasive Data
Governance program in two phases
• Phase I will focus on:
• Implementing the data governance
structure
• Standardizing data definitions
• The migration into the new ERP system
• Requires strong coordination with the
ctcLink project governance
DATA TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATION
• Phase II will focus on:
• Data Quality
• Business Intelligence
• Program plan (developed during the
end of Phase I as the program
matures)
