Businesses are focusing their efforts on becoming more data driven. Research done by the McKinsey Global Institute indicate that data driven organizations are 23 times more likely to acquire customers, six times as likely to retain those customers, and 19 times as likely to be profitable as a result.

In the past few years, the data steward position has become a necessity for businesses. With the growing increase of technology, it is crucial for businesses to have the right infrastructure to manage, protect, and store vast amounts of data.

One critical success factor is to think about data in terms of its life cycle. What life cycle? Well, let's think about a data life cycle as having the following:

  1. Collection
  2. Storage
  3. Analysis
  4. Transfer
  5. Retention
