It isn&rsquo;t just a software tool; it&rsquo;s a management framework that defines:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Who</strong> has the authority and responsibility for specific data assets.</li> <li><strong>What</strong> standards the data must meet (integrity, naming, etc.) before it is used.</li> <li><strong>How</strong> data is protected, stored, and shared.</li> <li><strong>When</strong> data should be archived, deleted, or updated.</li> </ul> <p>Without governance, a data system is just a pile of unorganized files. With it, data becomes a reliable asset that can power everything from basic reports to the most advanced AI.</p>
