Data governance has always been a critical part of the data and analytics landscape. However, for many years, it was seen as a preventive function to limit access to data and ensure compliance with security and data privacy requirements. To fulfill todays data-driven agendas, many enterprises need an evolved perspective on data governance. The development of new applications driven by artificial intelligence requires a more agile and collaborative approach to data governance one that automates

Doing more with less is the defining characteristic of finance and accounting departments in midsize enterprises, which ISG research defines as organizations with between 100 and 999 workers.
