What is the Enterprise-Class Data Catalog Implementation course about?
Teams are expected to govern data effectively, ensure compliance, and enable self-service analytics, but often lack a clear, proven implementation model tailored to mid-market constraints. Generic enterprise playbooks are too heavy; startup approaches lack rigor. This gap leads to stalled initiatives, rework, and missed opportunities to unlock data value.
