A deep analysis of the existing reports showed us the high necessity to implement a singular reporting platform, and we opted to implement a data warehouse. At the time, one of the consultants came to me and said, “I heard that we might need data management. I don’t know what it is. Check it out.” So I started Googling “Data management”… This book is for professionals who are now in the same position I found myself in eight years ago and for those who want to become a data management pro of a medium sized company.It is a collection of hands-on knowledge, experience and observations on how to implement data management in an effective, feasible and “to-the-point” way.

This book presents the “Orange” data management framework. This new framework assists data management professionals in establishing a data management function and distinguishes itself from other well-known guidelines. This framework is:
- Ready for use It provides the method for building an integrated data management function, based on data management capabilities. It also includes the structure and content of various data management policies and standards.
- Feasible and flexible It elaborates on the business capability model that allows breaking data management into multiples capabilities at lower abstraction levels. This approach enables assessing existing data management capabilities and developing the new ones that fit a company’s needs and resources.
- Based on an integrated implementation approach Core data management capabilities have strong dependencies: deliverables from some of them serve as inputs for others. This framework provides an integrated implementation approach and plan for core capabilities.
- Data lifecycle/chain-oriented The “Orange” DMF aligns the structure and content data management capabilities with the building and optimization of data lifecycle/chain concepts.
