What is Data Management & Analysis (DM&A)?

The internet is not only a terrific resource, but a catalyst for gathering tremendous amounts of data.  In today’s digital world, companies and organizations have access to — and gather — more information than ever before. That information can indicate patterns of behavior, generating insights to point the way forward.

The Data Management Association (DAMA) defines data management as “the development of architectures, policies, practices, and procedures to manage the data lifecycle.” Put more simply, data management and analysis is the practice of collecting, organizing, protecting, and storing an organization’s data so it can be analyzed for business decisions.

  • The business intelligence orientation is rear-view driven — it is used to explain why something happened in the past. 
  • The data analytics orientation is future driven — it is used to explain why something is happening in the present and what that will mean if trends continue. 
  • The data engineering orientation is foundationally driven — it focuses on designing, implementing, and optimizing data pipelines.
