An explosion of data across disparate silos leads to …
The Enterprise Data Dilemma
Sources: Network World IDC “The Digitization of the World From Edge to Core,” November 2018; Octopai.com, Gartner, September 2016
“Collective sum of the world’s data
will grow from 33 zettabytes this
year to 175 zettabytes by 2025.”
1,000s of undocumented applications + databases
“Big data presents large volumes of multi-
sourced data in varied formats and types.
Metadata management is mandatory.”
1,000s of business terms across different business units

2020 State of Data Governance & Automation Report
• Surveyed North American organizations
• Respondents in data or data architecture roles,
information/data governance professionals,
business intelligence/analysts, data scientists
and executive management
• Organizations in technology, government,
consulting, insurance, finance, healthcare and
manufacturing among others
• All sizes but majority 101 to 5,000 employees
(40%) then 10,001 to 50,000 (17%)

Why This Survey?
Follow-up to our first study
and the subsequent report
released in 2018
We wanted to see if or how data
governance attitudes and practices have
evolved since GDPR went into effect.
We wanted to understand current
priorities, challenges and technology
usage, including the role of automation.

Key Drivers
What are the top three drivers of your data governance/data
intelligence initiative? [Please select three choices]
In 2018, regulatory compliance was the
primary driver. Today, the priorities are:
Better decision-making (62%)
Analytics (51%)
Regulatory compliance (48%)
Digital transformation (37%)
Data standards/uniformity (36%)

Program Maturity
How mature is your
organization’s data
governance/data
intelligence program, or
what stage are you in?
Work in progress (38%)
Just getting started (31%)
Planning stage (19%)
Fully implemented (12%)
These numbers are
lower than in 2018.
Important steps have been taken, but we suspect
finding the right approach is still a challenge.
Plus re-evaluation of what’s been done or partially
implemented in light of new needs and challenges.

Data Value Chain Bottlenecks
What are the most serious bottlenecks in your
organization’s data value chain? [Select all that apply]
Documenting complete data lineage (62%)
Understanding the quality of source data (58%)
Finding, identifying and harvesting data (55%)
Curating data assets with business context (52%)

Data Prep, Governance & Intelligence Challenges
What is the most significant challenge to your organization’s data
preparation/data governance/data intelligence efforts?
Length of project/delivery time (25%)
Data quality/accuracy (24%)
Time to value (16%)
Reliance on developers and other technical
resources (13%)

How many hours per week on average do you
spend on data-related activities?
Time Spent on Data Activities (Hours Per Week)
70% of survey respondents
spend 10+ hours per week on
data-related activities.
Most of that time is spent on
data analysis.
That is, after searching for and
preparing data so it can be
analyzed.

Data Prep, Governance & Technology Deployments
Have you deployed any data preparation/data governance/data
intelligence solutions?
If yes, what type? [Select all that apply]
Data Analytics (65%)
Metadata Management (59.48%)
Data Quality (58.82%)
Data Catalog (49%)
Business Glossary (49%)

Level of Automation
To what level are
your data operations
automated?
Mildly Automated (41%)
Somewhat Automated (34%)
Totally Manual (20%)
Completely Automated (2.5%)

What’s Been Automated
What specific data operations have you
automated? [Select all that apply]
Data Mapping (39%)
Data Cataloging (26%)
Data Lineage (25%)
Code Generation (21%)
Impact Analysis (12%)
Data Harvesting (48%)

Desired Automation
What specific data operations would prove the
most valuable to automate, if they aren’t
already? [Select all that apply]
Impact Analysis (48%)
Data Mapping (53%)
Data Cataloging (61%)
Data Lineage (65%)
Data Harvesting (38%)
Code Generation (21%)

erwin’s Take on the State of DG & Automation
Organizations are still
iterating on data governance,
trying to get it right.
Priorities are re-balancing
risk avoidance and
opportunity enablement.
Data discovery,
preparation, quality and
traceability are challenges.
Accurate, high-quality,
real-time data pipeline is
key for decision-making.
Automating data operations will create
sustainable and repeatable practices
to reduce errors, improve analytics and
increase speed to insights.

Recommendations
Constantly re-evaluate and tune
your DG strategy and
deployment.
Put data quality first, and it
starts with metadata quality.
Data lineage is complex and
an absolute requirement; deal
with it.
Automated code generation is a
huge opportunity for efficiency,
agility and consistency in data
preparation.

Recommendations, continued
Impact analysis is more than
“where used;” it drives data
valuation efforts.
Catalog your data assets:
you can’t govern what
you can’t catalog.
Promote data literacy: “An
educated consumer is your
best customer.”
Automation is always a good
option, but with some tasks, it is
the only option.
