Definition

Data Management “… is the development, execution and supervision of plans, policies, programs and practices that control, protect, deliver and enhance the value of data and information assets.”

— Data Management Association (DAMA)

Data Management “… is a set of processes and technologies for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, timeliness and consistency of multiple domains of enterprise data - across applications, systems and databases and across multiple business processes, functional areas, organisations, geographies and channels.”

— Hub Designs Consulting
