The official definition provided by DAMA International, the professional organization for those in the
data management profession, is: "Data Resource Management is the development and execution of
architectures, policies, practices and procedures that properly manage the full data lifecycle needs
of an enterprise." This definition is fairly broad and encompasses a number of professions which may
not have direct technical contact with lower-level aspects of data management, such as relational
database management.

The data lifecycle

Alternatively, the definition provided in the DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge (DAMADMBOK[1]) is: "Data management is the development, execution and supervision of plans, policies,
programs and practices that control, protect, deliver and enhance the value of data and information
assets."[2]
The concept of "Data Management" arose in the 1980s as technology moved from sequential
processing (first cards, then tape) to random access processing. Since it was now technically
possible to store a single fact in a single place and access that using random access disk, those
suggesting that "Data Management" was more important than "Process Management" used
arguments such as "a customer's home address is stored in 75 (or some other large number) places
in our computer systems." During this period, random access processing was not competitively fast,
so those suggesting "Process Management" was more important than "Data Management" used
batch processing time as their primary argument. As applications moved into real-time, interactive
applications, it became obvious to most practitioners that both management processes were
important. If the data was not well defined, the data would be mis-used in applications. If the
process wasn't well defined, it was impossible to meet user needs.
Corporate Data Quality Management
Corporate Data Quality Management (CDQM) is, according to the European Foundation for Quality
Management and the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ, University of St.
Gallen), the whole set of activities intended to improve corporate data quality (both reactive and
preventive). Main premise of CDQM is the business relevance of high-quality corporate data. CDQM
comprises with following Data Management activity areas:[3]
Strategy for Corporate Data Quality: As CDQM is affected by various business drivers and requires
involvement of multiple divisions in an organization; it must be considered a company-wide
endeavor.Corporate Data Quality Controlling: Effective CDQM requires compliance with standards,
policies, and procedures. Compliance is monitored according to previously defined metrics and

performance indicators and reported to stakeholders.Corporate Data Quality Organization: CDQM

requires clear roles and responsibilities for the use of corporate data. The CDQM organization
defines tasks and privileges for decision making for CDQM.Corporate http://maginfo.com/ Data
Quality Processes and Methods: In order to handle corporate data properly and in a standardized
way across the entire organization and to ensure corporate data quality, standard procedures and
guidelines must be embedded in companys daily processes.Data Architecture for Corporate Data
Quality: The data architecture consists of the data object model - which comprises the unambiguous
definition and the conceptual model of corporate data - and the data storage and distribution
architecture.Applications for Corporate Data Quality: Software applications support the activities of
Corporate Data Quality Management. Their use must be planned, monitored, managed and
continuously improved.Topics in Data Management

Usage
In modern management usage, one can easily discern a trend away from the term 'data' in
composite expressions to the term information or even knowledge when talking in non-technical
context. Thus there exists not only data management, but also information management and
knowledge management. This is a misleading trend as it obscures that traditional data are managed
or somehow processed on second looks. The distinction between data and derived values can be
seen in the information ladder. While data can exist as such, 'information' and 'knowledge' are
always in the "eye" (or rather the brain) of the beholder and can only be measured in relative units.3
Integrated data management
Integrated data management (IDM) is a tools approach to facilitate data management and improve
performance. IDM consists of an integrated, modular environment to manage enterprise application
data, and optimize data-driven applications over its lifetime.[5][6][7][8] IDM's purpose is to
Produce enterprise-ready applications fasterImprove data access, speed iterative testingEmpower
collaboration between architects, developers and DBAs
Consistently achieve service level targets

Automate and simplify operationsProvide contextual intelligence across the solution stack
Support business growth
Accommodate new initiatives without expanding infrastructureSimplify application upgrades,
consolidation and retirement
Facilitate alignment, consistency and governance
Define business policies and standards up front; share, extend, and apply throughout the
