Overview

This case study delves into how a major compliance authority, SDAIA, overcame challenges in managing reference data across government agencies in Saudi Arabia through the implementation of a centralized MDM solution.

Business Requirement and Challenges

SDAIA, as the principal authority overseeing data and AI in Saudi Arabia, faced a critical issue where each government agency managed its own reference data independently.
This decentralized approach hindered governance and visibility into reference data across the country.

Our Solution

To address these challenges, we implemented a robust MDM solution:

Developed a centralized repository for reference data accessible to all government agencies.

Tailored onboarding processes for each agency to ensure seamless integration with the centralized MDM solution.

Implemented workflows based on agency and data sensitivity levels to streamline data governance processes.

Integrated the MDM solution with existing data governance processes and tools for enhanced efficiency.

Business Outcome

The implementation of the MDM solution resulted in significant improvements:

Achieved a unified view of reference data for all government agencies, improving data consistency and accuracy.

Established a fully federated and centrally governed MDM solution under SDAIA's oversight, ensuring compliance and standardization across agencies.

This case study highlights SDAIA's successful implementation of a centralized MDM solution, addressing the challenge of decentralized reference data management across government agencies in Saudi Arabia. The outcomes include improved data governance, data accuracy, and compliance, paving the way for enhanced data-driven decision-making and collaboration among agencies.
