IT governance is required in order to measure, define and understand what the IT organization is doing for the company. The first article in this week's newsletter, Basics of Governance and Data Integration, Part 1, by Dan Linstedt, begins his discussion on the types of governance, the process of governance and the application of governance across different areas.
In the second article, Bridging Unstructured Data and Structured Data, I describe these two types of data and explain the five methods of linking structured and unstructured data.
I encourage you to use the Business Intelligence Network as your premier source for information pertaining to business intelligence, performance management, data warehousing and information quality.
