Elevating Data Governance with Microsoft Purview and CluedIn

Microsoft has just announced that the new Microsoft Purview Data Governance experience will be generally available from September 1st, 2024. According to Microsoft, usage of the Microsoft Purview service has grown by an impressive 400% since it was launched in April 2024, with more than 1,500 businesses actively using it for data governance purposes.

As part of the announcement, Microsoft highlighted new innovations including an embedded Copilot in Microsoft Purview, stronger integrations with Microsoft Fabric, and broadening its partner network to help organizations confidently activate their data estate.

As businesses increasingly turn to data governance to ensure security, compliance, and efficient data utilization, the synergy between Microsoft Purview and Master Data Management (MDM) becomes crucial.

Advanced MDM solutions like CluedIn also offer AI-powered assistance to aid data stewards in profiling, cleaning and enriching data. Combined, this enhances overall data accuracy and consistency, and frees up resources for more proactive, value-driven projects.
3. Federated Governance Approach: By integrating MDM with Purview, organizations can enable business units to manage their data quality while adhering to centralized policies. This ensures both innovation and data integrity, fostering a balanced governance structure.
