Improve and streamline information processes to ensure high-quality data throughout the data life cycle
In an era of rapidly advancing technology, big data and advanced analytics, and with new data regulations being continually implemented around the world, every organization faces the challenge of data governance.
Data is an asset, but too often, it is also a liability. Raw facts and figures are rarely analysis-ready. Information is often painstakingly generated and then held in numerous, disjointed databases with no structure. Bits and pieces are missing with no collection protocol in place.
It can be difficult to set roles and build accountability for data in an organization that is siloed and has never had an enterprise-wide strategy. But with the right framework, people and practices, organizations can implement a strategy and process to overcome these data governance challenges.

Business results
Massive amounts of data mean nothing if you cannot internalize, visualize and optimize information to make the crucial decisions that will lead to growth and tangible outcomes. The integration of DXC Data Governance services with solutions that match key business needs will enable you to achieve measurable business benefits:
- A consumer packaged goods company achieved cost savings in excess of $10M with a consolidated and harmonized spend analysis database that allows the company to leverage opportunities globally and more effectively manage external spend, enabled by master data management.
- DXC implemented master data management for a global energy company to create the single source for well productivity, crucial for guiding investment decisions. A proof of concept for 200 wells demonstrated improved insight, quality and cost reduction: this then rolled out to 20,000 wells.
- For a leading automotive manufacturer, DXC delivered a data governance program for warranty data — structured and unstructured — enabling the company to identify defect trends much faster, include data from additional data sources and achieve return on investment (ROI) in only nine months.
