Four Steps to Data Sustainability

1   Govern
      Define the Organization and Processes to govern your Enterprise Data;
      especially master data

2   Cleanse & Enrich
       Define standards and clean / enrich existing data to the Zero Defect standard

3   Enforce
       Prevent defective data from entering the system or environment by using
       software based pro-active data validation and enforcement

4   Monitor
       Use automated passive rules to validate and enforce so to perpetually monitor
       ongoing data integrity and quality

Instance Consolidation
   Rule #1: Instance consolidation without process
    standardization will increase costs and decrease efficiency:
     Recommendation #1: Thoroughly investigate the variances in processes
      between different instances.
   Rule #2: Instance consolidation always takes longer and costs
    more than anticipated:
     Recommendation #2: Engage an external agency to thoroughly review
      the business case and program plans.
   Rule #3: Managing a single instance creates more visible
    expense than managing distributed instances:
     Recommendation #3: Budget for increased costs in the data center(s):
      infrastructure costs and management overhead alike.

Instance Consolidation  Rule #1: Instance consolidation without process standardization will increase costs and decrease efficiency:  Recommendation #1: Thoroughly investigate the variances in processes between different instances.  Rule #2: Instance consolidation always takes longer and costs more than anticipated:  Recommendation #2: Engage an external agency to thoroughly review the business case and program plans.  Rule #3: Managing a single instance creates more visible expense than managing distributed instances:  Recommendation #3: Budget for increased costs in the data center(s): infrastructure costs and management overhead alike.
