Background of Release: "Siloed Responsibility" More Serious Than Siloed Data

The IT department says, "We've installed the system, so we want the business departments to manage the data from here on out."

The business departments say, "We don't understand systems, so data management is the IT department's job."

In the field of data management, such "pushing responsibility" and "passing the buck" occur daily.

No matter how excellent the tools introduced, such as data utilization platforms or data catalogs, projects will inevitably stall if the assignments (role definitions) of "Who is responsible for the quality of that data, and who will update the metadata?" remain ambiguous.

The true cause of declining data quality and reliance on specific individuals is not a system problem, but "lack of organizational responsibility."

This document explains how to deploy and operationalize roles such as data owner and data steward according to the company's size and phase.

It clearly explains, from a practitioner's perspective, the know-how for designing an organization where data management can operate autonomously without exhausting the field staff.

"Tazuna," the Easiest Data Catalog to Start with in the World

Data catalogs were originally software developed for the information systems department to manage company data and for data analysis professionals to search for data.

We have reinvented such data catalogs into software that "any company, any job type, can use quickly and easily."

POINT 1: Automatically Creates Design Documents

Dashboards developed with effort by someone using BI tools.

Can you explain the meaning of the indicators displayed?

Do you have a way to quickly investigate if you suspect the displayed numbers are incorrect?

With Tazuna, everything is clear at a glance.

POINT 2: Understand the Background of Data

Tazuna allows you to find not only data but also the people behind it.

Who is knowledgeable about what data assets (data, dashboards, terms, and definitions)? Who are they communicating with about data? This can be understood on an individual basis.

Tazuna can be used for optimizing personnel allocation.

POINT 3: Utilize Before Building the Foundation

We know the struggles of creating large data infrastructure for the unsung heroes who prepare data. It's a waste if such data infrastructure is not used by all employees.

Therefore, we have reinvented the data catalog to allow for specific identification of data that needs to be prepared.

Tazuna unites development and the field.

"Data Architect Training" to Foster "Planning Skills" in the AI/DX Era Using Your Own Company's Data

Data Architect Training

This program differs from traditional DX training centered on "programming acquisition" by specializing in acquiring "planning and design skills based on data" required in the business field.

In addition to lectures, it combines "planning and development bootcamps" using actual company data, resulting in a fully practical curriculum where a product proposal usable in real work is completed by the end of the training.

Data Management Practical Training

This program goes beyond mere lectures on DMBOK (Data Management Body of Knowledge) concepts, aiming to build "operational rules usable in the field starting tomorrow" during the training.

It is a practical curriculum designed to create "self-sustaining organizations" that accelerate DX and AI utilization by enabling field departments to independently handle quality control and governance in companies where data utilization is stalled due to a lack of specialized organizations.

First, let's consult

"The Magic of Data Catalogs: Transforming Company Data into Data That Anyone Can Use" by Patanner Representative Fukano, the First Explanation of Data Catalogs Essential for DX Promotion in Japan
