Data First: Why Data Governance is Key to ERP Success,
AI Readiness, and Confident Decisions
ERP and AI initiatives succeed or fail based on one factor above all others: data.
Most organizations still struggle with fragmented, inconsistent data spread across legacy ERPs, CRMs, spreadsheets, and custom databases. Without governance and structure, even the best systems produce unreliable reports, compliance risks, and missed opportunities for analytics and AI.
The 2024 State of Data Governance Report (TDWI) reveals that most companies remain in the early stages of governance maturity — lacking the frameworks and ownership needed to trust their data. Meanwhile, Actian’s 2024 study estimates that poor data quality costs the average business $15 million annually.
In this webinar, Jonathan Gross, Managing Director of Pemeco Consulting, and Matthew Linton, CEO of Data Bench, will share a proven data governance framework that turns unreliable, fragmented data into a trusted enterprise asset. You’ll learn why disciplined data management, governance, stewardship are the keys to reliable AI insights and consistent ERP performance.
