A Stunning Number of CDOs Neglect Data Provenance Tools

Have you been wondering what initiatives are top of mind for leaders in financial data management? So have ASG, FIMA, and Wipro.

According to the recently published 2018 CDO Study, produced in partnership with ASG, FIMA, and Wipro, 50% of CDOs are not currently employing solutions for data inventory. Similar numbers appear across a range of solutions that includes automated governance and issue management, as well as automated lineage.

Reviewing the data, Ian Rowlands, ASG’s Director of Product Management, observed “Our results show that 50% of CDOs are doing data inventory. That means 50% are saying to us: ‘We don’t actually know what data we’ve got.’ That’s pretty startling.”

Today, in the midst of a movement towards “Governance 2.0”, the right tools are the key that will make or break an effort to outpace compliance. Take a look at the infographic below to see where your peers are excelling, and where they need to modernize lest they get left behind.
