- Data Profiling – Gain a comprehensive overview of your data landscape, by using tools to help identify all data, where it resides, the purpose of each data set and how often it is used.
- Invest in Data Management tools – Explore data management solutions.
- Develop data policies – Ensure you have data policies and procedures documenting your data management.
