INDUSTRY INITIATIVE
OMAC Publishes Data Governance Guide in Collaboration with ei3
As cloud-based analytics and digital transformation evolve, creating the foundation of the “data-driven” world, manufacturing organizations are scrambling to implement suitable data governance policies. OMAC’s latest initiative, led by ei3‘s Mark Fondl, establishes a framework and guidelines to protect precious proprietary information while enabling secure data sharing.
The result of the initiative was The Practical Considerations for Data Governance guide, which offers a real-world approach to segmenting, sharing and securing plant floor data. It covers the complete data lifecycle from creating a common data dictionary, identifying data sources and applications, stakeholders, storage, compliance, and recommended data governance best practices.
