3 Critical Data Governance Benefits for SMB Retailers Shared
Data consultant explains the benefits of effective data governance for small and mid-size retailers, including reduced risk, greater trust and increased sales--in a new article from Messaging Architects
HOBOKEN, N.J., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and data governance consultant, identifies three important benefits of data governance for SMB retailers in a new article on its website. The informative article first relates how small retail businesses depend on data to drive business processes and stay competitive.
The author then presents the benefits of effective data governance, including reduced risk, trustworthy, useful data, and improved omni-channel retailing. He asserts that, "data governance holds the key to eliminating siloes by working toward a holistic view of data across multiple platforms and departments."
"Data must remain secure, relevant and accessible if it is to deliver value," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "3 Critical Data Governance Benefits for SMB Retailers."
"Data governance includes interconnected policies, beginning with identifying and categorizing data and determining rules for data retention and archiving. Additionally, a comprehensive data governance policy must ensure cyber security and regulatory compliance. Implementing solid data governance takes careful planning, but it delivers key advantages."
Reduce Risk
"With a comprehensive data governance strategy, businesses meet regulatory requirements while making data available to the right people. Features such as multi-factor authentication, end-to-end data encryption and compliance audits both protect data and preserve customer trust."
Ensure Trustworthy, Useful Data
"In 2019, Experian Data Quality published a study indicating that 95 percent of organizations suffer from the negative impacts of low-quality data. Information that is out-of-date, redundant or incomplete can result in faulty strategy and damage to customer relations."
Improve Omnichannel Retailing
"Data coming into the organization from multiple sources does more than create quality challenges. It also increases the risk of data siloes. For instance, sales departments gather data from POS systems. Marketing harvests data from company websites and social media campaigns. Customer support collects its own customer data related to product issues."
Data Governance Expertise for SMB Retailers
By improving the security, quality and accessibility of information, data governance unlocks data potential. For SMB retailers, this can prove critical to developing and retaining customer relationships, improving business strategy, and reducing risk.
