Challenge

Tackling our Customer’s Complex Data Management Challenge for Efficiency and Compliance

Our DoD client faces the intricate challenge of managing and deriving value from an extensive range of data sources that power their supply chain and financial operations while interfacing with external data inputs. Maintaining data quality, naming convention standards, ownership, and access standards across multiple information systems is crucial for efficient operations and compliance.

Solution

JMA’s Data Governance Initiative: Standardization and Alignment for Efficiency

JMA established standardized data quality and ownership norms in alignment with DoD policy documents. This initiative involved the establishment of standardized data quality and ownership norms, the meticulous cataloging and mapping of diverse system data.  JMA has played a pivotal role in setting up data governance planning tasks, defining data owners, training Data Stewards, and aligning the process with DoD’s internal governance directives. 

Impact

Enhanced Data Understanding and Operational Efficiency 

Our client gains a deeper understanding of their data. The data governance initiative led by JMA has yielded significant outcomes with critical data elements cataloged and mapped, allowing our client to gain a clearer understanding of their data landscape, enabling more effective decision-making and streamlined processes. The mapping of data domains to core portfolio domains enhances data coherence, ensuring that essential information supports warfighter readiness for critical assets across aviation, shipboard, and submarine assets. The developed domain management plans capture high-level data information and quality standards, while the implementation of governance processes enhances data management practices. Documented procedures for updating data drives effective domain management planning.
