Chapter 4Data Management
DM allows the Army to execute and supervise plans, architectures, policies, programs, and practices that properly manage, protect, deliver, and enhance the full life cycle of data and information assets regardless of where they reside. DM minimizes the risks and costs of regulatory noncompliance, legal complications, and security breaches. It also provides access to accurate data when and where it is needed, without ambiguity or conflict, thereby avoiding mis-communication. DM tasks include data quality, master data, metadata and data standards management, information exchange specification (IES), interoperability, and data integration. Implementing enterprise DM and warehousing increases operational performance and reliability, introduces standardization, provides the ability to respond effi-ciently and effectively to change, enhances security, and allows for economies of scale in terms of operations and maintenance costs. The Army, in its effort to implement enterprise DM, will do this through the ADMP.
