For effective data integration and business operation, all this data must be maintained and governed. In this scenario, IT is the easiest to blame for drawbacks and holes in your data, that\u2019s no news.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you don\u2019t get the results and the information you need (provided your business processes are set to present you with quality data), you naturally start looking for someone or something to blame. And, of course, IT seems to be the perfect scapegoat. Little do we realize that the problems lie in the business, not in IT.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, many organizations associate data with IT, considering it a part of engineering activities and don\u2019t realizing the gap between the two. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ted-friedman-4494a43b\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ted Friedman<\/a>, VP Research at Gartner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/dirty-data-it-its-not-your-fault\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">suggests<\/a> a solution that should keep the blame off of IT and cause less data quality problems.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_60676\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/ted-friedman-gartner.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/ted-friedman-gartner-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-60676\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-60676\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><small>Ted Friedman<\/small><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBusiness needs to be in the driver\u2019s seat,\u201d Friedman said. \u201cAt the moment, we feel that the focus on the topic is way, way too much in the IT camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To advance data quality, Friedman suggests the use of a <b>data steward<\/b>, who is responsible for benchmarking current levels of data quality and measuring the impact on the business of bad data. The data steward looks at the data transfer processes, making sure, for instance, that the data passes through as few people as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Data stewards will come from a business background, but have good relations to IT, Friedman said. They will only be effective if they are held accountable for their progress and receive bonuses for meeting quality targets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_a_data_steward_do\"><\/span>What can a data steward do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Data_steward\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Data stewards<\/a> do not own the data for themselves and do not have complete control over it. Their main role is just to ensure that data is accurate and that it passes the quality standards agreed upon by the company. They perform their duties before, in the course of, and after data integration, which helps to maintain the information in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>To be productive, data stewards need to work together with database administrators, information architects, and others involved in data management across the organization. Aside from technical skills, a data steward should have a clear way of communicating issues and ideas during the data integration process.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/data-steward-specific-roles-cdi-institute-survey-2006-v2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/data-steward-specific-roles-cdi-institute-survey-2006-v2-1024x606.png\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62613\" \/><\/a><small>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tcdii.com\/images\/Data_Governance_white_paper_-_April_2006.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">image credit<\/a>)<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Responsibilities of a data steward include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n\u2022\tEnsuring that the new data doesn\u2019t overlap any existing, contradicting data<br \/>\n\u2022\tLooking for possible errors in the data structure<br \/>\n\u2022\tEnsuring that the data is error-free<br \/>\n\u2022\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/5-things-to-watch-out-for-in-data-warehousing\/\">Data warehousing<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022\tApproving the consistency of data\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, data stewards are accountable for enhancing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/data-quality-upstream-or-downstream\/\">data quality<\/a>.
