Data Governance & Architecture

Data governance that pays for itself.

What happens when your whole leadership team finally trusts the numbers? DataOps designs enterprise data governance programs, the operating model, the stewardship, the data quality engineering, that turn data from a liability into the asset your AI strategy stands on.

Sound familiar?

You don't have a reporting problem. You have a governance problem.

Meetings that start with an argument about whose numbers are right
Finance and Sales defining revenue two different ways
Every region running its own standards, platforms, and definitions
Analysts spending 90% of their time building reports instead of advising
Data quality issues invisible to leadership until they surface in a forecast
An AI roadmap sitting on top of data nobody fully trusts
Legacy Access databases and spreadsheet exports quietly running the business
A governance policy document that nobody has opened since it was written
01 What we build

Governance as an operating system, not a policy binder.

01

Governance Operating Model

DG-OS™ council structures, decision rights, escalation paths, and cadences designed for how your organization actually works.

02

Data Quality Engineering

Our DQE™ engine deployed on your platform: 200+ rules across every quality dimension with automatic violation tracking and closure.

03

Stewardship Program Design

Owners and stewards selected on prescribed business and technical criteria, trained and accountable, from 2 stewards to 375+.

04

Business Glossary & Catalog

Shared definitions and lineage in Microsoft Purview so the whole enterprise means the same thing by "revenue."

05

Data Product Certification

A 5-step certification pipeline for foundational, composite, and consumer-aligned data products, each registered with quality scores.

06

Regulated-Industry Compliance

Compliant architecture for defense and regulated environments, including CUI and ITAR workloads in GCC High.

02 The DG-OS™ framework

Four tiers of accountability, one source of truth.

Council agendas are driven by platform data, quality results, certification status, and maturity progression, not status updates.

01

Global Governance Council

Executives and escalations. Strategic oversight and cross-country alignment.

02

Local Governance Council

Operational reviews: DQE™ results, data product certifications, maturity progression, and change management.

03

Cross-Domain Council

Data owners aligning shared definitions, reusable products, and consistent standards across domains.

04

Intra-Domain Council

Deep domain-specific governance, quality, and stewardship, from global to local.

04 Questions, answered

What leaders ask us about data governance.

What is data governance? +

Data governance is the system of ownership, policies, quality controls, and accountability that keeps enterprise data accurate, consistent, and trusted. Done well, it means leaders decide from one governed source of truth instead of arguing about whose numbers are right.

What is a data governance operating model? +

An operating model defines who owns data decisions and how they get made. DataOps uses DG-OS™, a 4-tier council structure spanning enterprise, local, cross-domain, and intra-domain governance, with prescribed steward criteria and 5-step data product certification.

How long does it take to stand up a governance program? +

We stood up a full 4-tier council structure with certified data products in 3 months for a $40B aerospace supplier. A complete program including platform, quality engineering, and training typically lands within a 12-month transformation.

What results does governance actually deliver? +

Measured outcomes across our portfolio: a 99.4% reduction in data quality violations, roughly $12M in annualized impact from improved revenue capture, and the governance program behind a construction firm's 5x revenue growth.
