Is limited data accessibility the most critical challenge in a mining organization?
We have all been there.
You want to run a report requiring very specific data sets from various sources, but you have to jump through hoops to put it all together.
Often times within a company, data can live on various platforms, and if someone needs to access it, they have to submit a request to one of the data scientists or analysts, thus leading to extra and often unnecessary steps.
Companies struggle to make their data available across departments. The result? Companies become data collectors. The data piles up in multiple locations, under various gatekeepers, not being utilized because it’s not accessible.
Data accessibility means just that; your data is stored in a proper location with the appropriate assignment of roles and permissions, making it easy to locate and use. Data accessibility is getting the right data to the right people when they need it.
What does that mean for your organization?
Think about how much time employees waste requesting and waiting for information from one department or another. And how much time do other employees spend generating responses to those requests? All of this time can really add up.
When data gets siloed in specific departments or roles, barriers are built that take time for individuals to pass. That slows down your processes and can seriously compromise your business, resulting in no business visibility, very little time for correction, and business decisions made based on old or faulty data.
With the proper data access, your team can make more meaningful contributions.
Gatekeeping, either intentional or unintentional, is a problem. What if someone is out of the office when a critical data request comes in? Or they are tied up in a significant project. Having accessible data moves away from gatekeepers and ensures your organization doesn’t run into roadblocks.
Data accessibility and management is making data accessible to those who need it and not just to a select group of data specialists.
When you make your data accessible, you provide non-technical users access to enterprise data systems, enabling all line-of-business employees to perform queries and generate reports independently. It is the key to allowing business users to interact with data on their own terms, breaking down silos and promoting a data-centric culture.
