Delivering trusted information for big data and data warehousing : A foundation for more effective decision-making

Experts suggest that organizations need to ensure that information arising from different sources is integrated and governed to ensure that it is a trusted source and complies with internal policies and external regulations and legislation. The process of the integration and governance of information provides a framework that incorporates acquisition, organization, control, and use of information to create and enhance business value. It is essential for an organization to have information that it can trust and use with confidence. The varied data sources and formats can challenge those who need to rely on, analyze, and use the data unless they have been effectively integrated in a data warehouse or big data platform.
