Spotlight on Data-Related Requests

June 6, 2025 - IData Inc., a leader in data governance, is pleased to announce that this month's spotlight is on Data-Related Requests which are an important component of data governance (also known as data intelligence). Requests vary including those for determining if a certain report exists, asking for a new report, requesting a new business glossary entry, modifying a data policy, and adding an item to a reference data list. And these requests can come from different groups such as internal to the organization requestors (employees or students if at a higher education institution) or external to the organization requestors (government agencies or vendors). IData has created a data requests resources page located at https://www.datacookbook.com/data-requests-spotlight containing blog posts, videos, and recorded webinars. These resources include those on the life cycle of data and report requests, types of requests, who is requesting the data, what happens after a data request, and best practices.
