What is Data Management?

Data management is the process of collecting data, storing it safely, and using it effectively. As various departments in your organization interact with data, they must ensure to look beyond merely collecting them. The end goal of data collection in your organization should be data management.

In a broader sense, data management covers collecting, accessing, updating, and storing data on multiple storage tools. It also extends to providing a recovery measure for possible future disasters.

Moreover, it concerns data privacy and security. To cap it all, companies manage data by retaining and destroying customer data following compliance provisions.

The Importance of Data Management/Privacy

Some companies often think data management and privacy are only essential for the most apparent reasons – to ensure compliance and avoid cybersecurity issues. In this section, we shall outline other important reasons for this concept.

1. Accuracy

Accurate data collection and processing gives your team the confidence to rely on that data. Proper data management filters errors from your data. It also shows that your data is correct and consistent across all databases.

2. Ease of Access

Imagine rummaging through a stack of pile for a single piece of paper. That would be hectic and stressful. Again, think about how a library attendant uses the classification and cataloging processes to ease book retrieval.

When your company organises customer data, it aids visibility. Data visibility further allows authorized team members to find needed data, analyze it, and use it easily.

3. Redundancy Removal

In the process of collecting data, duplicates can exist. These duplicates could be in different locations on the same storage or they could be on different storage systems.

Either way, data management helps you see and remove redundant files when data is being collated for storage on the same database.

4. Consistency

Maintaining a comprehensive data management system ensures that data is used consistently across your organization. For instance, if you enter 10 customers' data into your database, it will appear the same way to every connected team member. This will avoid irregular use of customer data.

5. Privacy

Data is a valuable resource. Therefore, access to data in your organization should be restricted.With data management, you can authorize only a few members of your organization to access, view, use, or share customer data.

6. Customer Trust

When customers realize that your company has the facilities, equipment, and humans to manage their data, they will trust you. Customers will count on you to keep their data safe and use it as fitting upon collection.

How to Build Customer Trust in your Brand with Data Management/Privacy

Customer trust plays a big part in the success of your brand. A customer’s trust in your brand is as significant as acquiring a customer. Customer trust, however, is the belief in a brand or company to deliver its promises.

Research shows that83% of customers will recommend a company they trust to others. As a company that retrieves customers’ data, one of the ways to build this trust and retain it is data management and privacy.

To assure your customers of a secure data management and privacy system, you have to communicate openly with them. Be transparent about the kind of data you want to collect from them, how you will collect it, and how you will use it.

Likewise, tell them if you will share their data and who you will share it with. Finally, tell them the conditions surrounding deleting their data if they wish to discontinue their patronage with your company.

Moreover, don’t just make promises concerning securing customers' data and privacy. Invest in data management and privacy systems and tools. To make your customers trust you further, define to them in simple terms your privacy policy and cookie policy.
