Deloitte’s approach to data has three dimensions that uniquely combine to deliver business value. It is founded on many years of experience assuring and advising technology implementations and the recognition that successful data management is much more than simply integrating technology.

Data Risk Management – providing data assurance in the form of investigations, reconciliations, reviews and assessments.

• Data Governance – creating the policies and identifying the people who govern the retention and disposition of all corporate information to build the framework for a data-driven enterprise.
  
  Data Management Technology – selecting, implementing, integrating and applying the technology required to ensure effective data management.
  

Though the focus of any individual data management initiative may be defined by a single dimension, success will require the integration of all three.

At the heart of these dimensions is the interaction that defines a successful initiative – one that recognises that only by considering the risk, the governance and the technology will you be able to manage data successfully.
