Zaloni surveyed nearly 400 data professionals to curate a research report on the industry’s latest insights on data governance trends.

 Zaloni, an award-winning leader in data governance and DataOps, announced a new research report in partnership with DATAVERSITY. Titled, The 2022 State Of Cloud Data Governance, the research report was based on a survey answered by nearly 400 data professionals. The findings uncovered the leading reasons why organizations invest in data governance tools and technologies, how they overcome challenges with proper data governance, and how to accurately measure the ROI of data governance initiatives.

Survey responses came from an array of data professionals who provided a wide range of experiences and perspectives related to on-prem, cloud, and hybrid data governance. The differing responses revealed interesting insights as one trend exposes what organizations see as the most valuable capability for data governance tools. Data quality was the clear winner with over 80% of respondents, followed by data cataloging and business glossary capabilities.

Though many data professionals can agree that implementing a data governance strategy within their organization is crucial, the challenges they face to implement such strategies vary across the board. In one of the final questions of the survey, participants were asked what the biggest challenge they were facing in traditional and cloud data governance was. Survey responses show the need to close a skills gap within their organization as the top answer chosen was: “Skills needed to manage new technologies.” Ultimately, the question revealed a clearly defined industry trend where organizations seek more user-friendly data governance tools to suit non-technical employee skill sets better.
