Data Governance
Data Governance is the management of the availability, integrity, usability and security of data used in an enterprise.
According to Marketsandmarkets, the Data Governance market will grow by an average of 21% per annum until 2021, from $863.2M in 2016 to 2,235M by the end of the period.
The market research firm also says that managed services will grow the most and are considered "crucial" because they are directly related to the consumer experience and because they help organisations to sustain their market positions.
Other data governance companies have also been acquired in the last year. Just this February, Infogix bought Data3sixty, the leading provider of cloud data governance solutions.
