PDAC 2021 Industry Panel Discussion

Data Governance: Why it’s considered one of the most important parts of information management in the natural resources industry.

Data governance is a central element within the greater practice of data management and considered an important strategic initiative for natural resources organisations. With the push of digital transformation initiatives across the globe, the focus on data governance is not likely to change anytime soon.

We’ve invited geoscientific information management professionals from SRA Information Technology and Queensland’s Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy to join us in a lively discussion about why governance is such a big issue for mineral exploration and what companies are doing to fuel greater data governance practices hosted by Lee-Anne Coleman, acQuire’s Customer Success Leader.
