Anjana Data and Santander Group offer the keys to the success of the Single Data Marketplace at the Data Management Summit 2021

ThThe first international edition of the Data Management Summit brings together more than 200 professionals focusing on new data management challenges. The DMS 2021 is an exclusive event for the data community in the technology landscape, where there is more talk about business solutions than technology platforms.
Mario de Francisco Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer of Anjana Data, participated in the round table on ‘Data Governance: The Core of Data Management‘, and emphasised the importance of data governance as the core of data management and the need for entities to implement data governance in order to become data-driven.
Other paParticipants in the round table were Gonzalo White (Senior Business Consultant, Risk Data Quality (ABN Amro), Jason Hare (Principal Data Governance and Information Security Governance, CDMP®, CIP®, CSAP®, ITIL®), Mike Meriton (Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer – EDM Council), Stefano Miro (Co-Founder and Sales Manager at About Data Governance), Neah Mangal (Head of Enterprise Data Governance at A.P. Moller Maersk) and Robert S. Seiner, author of the book ‘Non-Invasive Data Governance: The Path of Least Resistance’, as moderator.
During the conversation, the focus has been on why the formal implementation of data governance practices is vital for effective and efficient data management in an organisation and the differences between Data Governance and Data Management have been detailed. On the other hand, the main challenges presented by the implementation of Data Governance in an organisation and the need to adapt the governance of the data to the culture of the organisation have been discussed. Finally, the participantParticipants in the roundtable have provided some insights into how to measure both the correct implementation and the impact of a Government Data programme.
In the words of Mario de Francisco, «The most complicated part of implementing data governance is to convince all stakeholders and participants that data governance will serve to make things easier and more agile in relation to the processing and use of data, contrary to what most people normally think.»
Another of the key points of the first day was the conference by Alicia Jimeno Galán, Head of Data Governance at CTO Global of the Santander Group, who has participated in our slot Case Story with her conference ‘Data MarketPlace: the new approach to Data Governance‘.
During her presentation, Alicia Jimeno focused on the keys to the Santander Group's success in the Single Data Marketplace. In this regard, it has highlighted the need for a data catalogue based on centralised metadata management, a broad understanding of the classification and organisation of data within the organisation, and multidisciplinary teams of data experts. All this must be accompanied by technological solutions such as Anjana Data, which provide the necessary tools to support the organisation and its stakeholders through the change process.
