The Governed Data Lake – A CTI White Paper

This white paper introduces the reader to a framework that has one goal: to make data useful and accessible to “business engineers.”  We identify a business engineer as a person that improves how any work activity is performed. This could be reducing exceptions in the submission of insurance claims, or improving flight patterns to reduce fuel consumption, or in life-changing ways such as identifying people with probable risk of diabetes so that interventions may be applied before it’s too late.

We walk you through a new model for data governance, new capabilities for interacting with the data lake, and a new playbook for IT, business engineers, and business leaders to make it happen. This collective framework – a Governed Data Lake – has emerged from our work over the years leveraging data to improve the business performance for our customers and the evolving technological approaches that work well, and those that don’t.
