Data Management, Integration, and Aggregation
Timely access to data is imperative to improving the quality and efficiency of university decision-making, however the value of our data assets cannot be fully realized if it is stored in separate incompatible databases.
- Provide tools and platforms that support the efficient movement, merging and sharing of data.
- Develop and maintain integrated data in the Data Lake.
- Improve data management by promoting usage of enterprise-level databases, data consistency, and standardization throughout the university.
- Improve data quality by partnering with data owners/trustees to monitor data and data sources for integrity.

Data Governance and Organizational Metadata

- Facilitate and oversee the Data Governance program to ensure the quality and integrity of its data assets.
- Maximize the value received from data assets by maintaining a catalog of university data assets and data dictionaries.
- Promote and model ethical use of data, compliance, and data literacy through consulting.
