Data governance has always been a critical part of the data and analytics landscape. However, for many years, it was seen as a preventive function to limit access to data and ensure compliance with security and data privacy requirements. To fulfill todays data-driven agendas, many enterprises need an evolved perspective on data governance. The development of new applications driven by artificial intelligence requires a more agile and collaborative approach to data governance one that automates

Customers use Amazon OpenSearch Service to store their operational and telemetry signal data. They use this data to monitor the health of their applications and infrastructure, so that when a production issue happens, they can identify the cause quickly. The sheer volume and variety in data often makes this process complex and time-consuming, leading to high mean time to repair (MTTR).

Doing more with less is the defining characteristic of finance and accounting departments in midsize enterprises, which ISG research defines as organizations with between 100 and 999 workers. One frustrating truth confronting executives in these organizations is that, once their company stops being a small business, it has many of the same challenges that large enterprises face but with fewer resources to deal with them.
