The Problem…..

• Before Booz Allen went public in 2010, C-suite support for data governance was tepid.

• Confronted by public-reporting requirements, leadership recognized that robust Business Intelligence

built on strong data governance was imperative due to…..

Multiple BI delivery organizations: some rooted in the business, others in IS

– Disparate agendas, priorities

– Inconsistent interaction model

Lack of centralized leadership / accountability for delivery and supporting BI architecture

– Neither team was completely dedicated to BI delivery – had other responsibilities

– Each team lacked bandwidth for effective delivery – supporting old while developing new

– Lack of certain specialized resources with the capacity (bandwidth and skills) to implement optimal BW/DW

architecture

Establishing Data Governance roles, responsibilities, and policies set the foundation for further structure and standardization to support major organizational changes

• A direct benefit is that the first year saw a paradigm shift away from collegial deference toward management

accountability and increased emphasis on fiduciary responsibilities

• Data mapping and profiling standards save the firm time and money as projects are being executed because we

validate assumptions while there is time to adjust project goals and before we begin technical development

• Data quality reporting has become a standard part of project requirements and are operationalized as part of all

new releases. As a result, we have increased operational teams’ ability to minimize issues and prevent poor

data from flowing into other systems and processes

• Penetration exists in every area of the organization, but there are varying degrees of maturity

• The value of data governance has been underscored as leadership reshapes our organization to prepare for

new market dynamics in the coming year

Data Governance Policies

"Enterprise" Data Is the Property of the Firm - Data (both structured and unstructured) and the meta-data about that

data are business and technical resources owned by Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc.

Enterprise Data Must Be Managed Efficiently - Every effort must be made by management to eliminate the creation

or maintenance of redundant data without justification. Originating business owner-stewards of data must recognize the

informational needs of downstream processes and business units that may require said data.

Enterprise Data Must Be Modeled - All strategic firm/enterprise data shall be modeled, named, and defined

consistently according to recognized industry standards.

Enterprise Data Must Be Maintained Close to its Source – All firm/enterprise data shall be created and maintained

as close to the source (system or process) as feasible. Data quality standards shall be created to achieve reliability

levels as defined by the business units.

Enterprise Data Must Be Safe and Secured – Firm/enterprise data in all electronic formats shall be in accordance

with existing Firm policy.

Enterprise Data Must Be Accessible as Appropriate – Firm data and information about that data (meta-data) shall

be readily accessible to those in the organization based on their role. When restrictions necessary, business stewards

are accountable for defining specific individuals and levels of access privileges that are to be enabled. Information

Security will be responsible for the implementation of proper security controls, per associated firm policy.

Data Governance Policies have been integrated with other compliance team goals such as Technical Security & Privacy, Regulatory Compliance, Internal Audit, HR Compliance

Page 12: Booz Allen Hamilton Submission for Data Governance Best

11 11

Policies Continued…..

Meta-Data Will Be Recorded and Utilized - All Enterprise information system development and integration projects will

utilize a defined meta-data program for data naming, data modeling, and logical and physical database design

purposes.

Data Governance Management is responsible for developing plans to facilitate the capture and recording of specific

data administration-focused meta-data consistent with the defined meta-data program.

Data will be Audited to Provide Assurances of Practice and Reliability – The Data Governance Manager shall

develop a plan to audit and remediate areas where data definitions, use, access, and quality standards have been

implemented to ensure these requirements are consistently met and support the credibility of the firm’s data being

reported to and signed by the firm leadership.

Data Owners & Stewards Will Be Accountable for Enterprise Data – Formal Data Owner and Steward roles will be

assigned to those individuals ultimately responsible for the definition, management, control, integrity or maintenance of

a departmental or firm/enterprise data resource. All Data Stewardship information will be maintained as a form of meta-

data and will be made available to the department through on-line accessibility.
