Data Management

What is data management?

Data management is the process of collecting, keeping, and using data in a cost-effective, secure, and efficient manner. It helps people, organizations, and connected things optimize data usage to make better-informed decisions that yield maximum benefit. There’s a significant crossover with data governance.

What is data sharing?

Data sharing concerns sharing data and datasets to internal and external users and applications. It is a business-facing ability, which tracks KPIs around who it is shared with and who is using it, to understand the value and use of data. This is closely tied to data security, to ensure secure and controlled access to different types of data. Data sharing is also linked to integrations, which track how data is being shared across different technologies.
