Approval of a Contract with Centrilogic, in the Amount of $112,400, for Data Governance and Strategy Assessment
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
I would like to provide an update to the Council on our progress in developing a Data Governance Program. We are partnering with our database vendor, Centrilogic, to conduct a seven-to-nine-week data governance assessment. This assessment will initially focus on two datasets: HR and Permitting. The goal is to establish a comprehensive data governance framework, identify any maturity gaps, develop key data governance policies, define the program, and create a supporting roadmap.
This effort will serve as the foundation for a city-wide data governance program, with lessons learned from these two datasets, the mentoring of internal data champions, and a scalable framework that can be applied to other city departments.
Please note that I will bring the contract to the Council for approval at a later time, and there will be opportunities for further discussion.
