Microsoft Purview for Businesses
Gain a clear understanding of your data, how it's used and who's responsible for managing and protecting it.
Understand Your Data to Better Protect It
Business data is often scattered across multiple systems, files, platforms and services. This makes it difficult to determine what data exists, where it's stored, who is responsible for it and how it's being used.
Microsoft Purview helps organizations map, catalogue, classify and govern their data. Mallette supports you in establishing the roles, policies and processes needed to improve data quality, make information easier to understand and ensure appropriate data usage.
Our Approach to Data Governance With Microsoft Purview
From defining responsibilities to monitoring data quality, we develop a governance framework tailored to your organization's data and business priorities.
Defining Governance Objectives
We identify your priority data assets, key risks, user needs and your organization's data governance objectives.
Assigning Roles and Responsibilities
We identify data owners, data stewards and data users. A RACI matrix can also be developed to clarify everyone's roles and responsibilities.
Data Source Mapping
We identify the systems and data sources to be integrated. Microsoft Purview can then scan their metadata to create a comprehensive map of your data environment.
Data Classification and Cataloguing
We organize governance domains, classifications, business glossary terms and data products to help users better understand the information available to them.
Data Quality Management
We define quality criteria, monitoring processes and validation tests to identify incomplete, inconsistent or outdated data.
Monitoring and Improvement
We establish the policies, issue logs and dashboards needed to monitor data governance activities and continuously improve your organization's practices.
What Sets Our Approach Apart
Data Governance Aligned With Business Needs
We go beyond the technical aspects of data governance. Policies, responsibilities and definitions are established in collaboration with the teams that create, manage and use your organization's data.
Information That's Easier to Understand
Data catalogues, business glossaries and classifications help users better understand where data comes from, what it means and how it should be used.
A Strong Foundation for Analytics and AI
Better documented, governed and monitored data is easier to use in Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and artificial intelligence initiatives.
