Some of the important points( according to me, with minimum knowledge) are. 1.One of the top priority during deciding the right tool is simplicity. 2.A pilot project(3-6 months) is advised before going with the enter enterprise data. 3.Tagging is a very useful essential feature. 4.Not all data is important, focus on the more important data. 5.Users should be able to log their suggestion.

Hi, what are the most essential team member for Data Catalog implementation from IT perspective? Rupal mentioned she had a small team, just wondering how many were needed and what were their roles?

Awesome points! I’m starting a position next week that will involve a healthy amount of data governance work, and this sparked a lot of inspiration and questions. Thanks to both of you for sharing thoughts and experience!!

Hi George. Would you be able to add a reference to the International Data Consortium study that you referenced in this interview. It was in response to Rupal's comment that a Data Scientist went from taking 7 days to 30s for finding data.

I can't thank you enough for such a quality content. It shows the depth of understanding of the presenter and surprisingly the anchor( This is the first video I am watching, I do not know the channel owner.). This saved a lot of time, and also will help me to search the right material to study.
