R. Mahantis book offers both students and life-time learners a broad description of data governance in one book. The compilation of information in one place is welcome, saving a lot of time, when starting a DG program and you need to decide how you want it to work. Mahantis perspective has been formed by many academic and professional sources which she draws upon when forming her conclusions. Readers will appreciate her passion on the topic for many years to come.

Going well beyond compliance drivers, this volume illustrates what is needed to embed data governance in the fabric of your organization and maximize the value of your data.

Jeannine Siviy, Director, Healthcare Solutions, SDLC Partners, Co-author of CMMI and Six Sigma

The second volume of Rupa Mahantis ambitious three volume project on Data Governance adds to the growing body of knowledge around improving data governance practices. Mahanti puts data governance work in the overall context of data management. She discusses the levels of governance for different types of data (master data, reference data, transactional data), with a particular emphasis on the relation of DG to data quality and data security. Her comprehensive and practical approach presents the Whys while also getting at the Hows by describing the facilitation of DG activities through appropriate tooling. Data Governance and Data Management: Contextualizing Data Governance Drivers, Technologies, and Tools will enable organizations in a wide range of industries to improve the effectiveness of their Data Governance initiatives.

The fact that data is an asset is probably the understatement of the century. Though in order to be treated as such, it needs to be governed. Before going deeper onto the data governance path, I recommend understanding it better and learning how it helps, what its relationship is to data management functions, and data specific tools and technologies. Read Rupas book to understand these aspects.

George Firican, Founder of LightsOnData

Data Governance and Data Management: Contextualizing Data Governance Drivers, Technologies, and Tools is a great resource for helping your organization become truly data-driven. A lack of understanding about the relationship between technology and data often becomes a stumbling block in achieving this goal. This book clearly explains how data operations and data governance can only be successful when viewed in the full context of the processes, technology, and people in an organization.

Dr. John R. Talburt, Acxiom Chair of Information Quality at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and Lead Consultant for Data Governance and Data Integration with Noetic Partners

I can hear readers who open this book for the first time thinking, This book will help me figure out how to start our data governance project. Im hoping that by the time they reach the end, these same readers will be fortified by the experiential knowledge that Rupa Mahanti and her band of data experts have imparted throughout these pages. Data has moved beyond a byproduct of the systems that generate it to become the major driving force behind business, and indeed our own evolution. Its more than a project, it could very well be our salvation.
