Data Cookbook for Higher Education Institutions

Leading data governance solution for higher education institutions

​

The number of data systems is growing at higher education institutions along with the amount of data in them. 

 

Keeping track of this data and using it effectively is difficult and thus the need for data governance.  Student success is aided by data governance.  Better decision making including those in resource utilization, recruitment, and retention can be done with data governance if implemented correctly.  Data used by higher education institutions is accessed by educators, students, staff, government agencies and the public.  This data must be of high quality and trusted so that critical decisions can be made.  With data governance in place there can be a clear understanding of data definitions, reports, data stewardship, data access, security requirements, privacy as well as the processes around each.  The higher education institution’s data analysis capabilities will be improved with data governance to have consistent, high-quality, and timely information that all stakeholders can access and use.
