Practices

The data governance process includes generation, integration, analysis, and consumption. Data governance requires rules for this process. Huawei's data governance is focused on establishing organizations to manage data, on dotted line reporting to the corporate data management department, and on establishing cross-domain joint operation teams. Huawei has established a unified data management framework to guide data management by classifications in each domain. Huawei has also established a unified information architecture by specifying the definitions and compositions of the information architecture in policy documents. To manage data quality and data operations, Huawei has created a framework based on ISO 8000 standards. The design and execution of the data standards and operations is assessed twice a year, and the data owners regularly release quality reports to drive continuous improvement in their various domains.
