Abstract
The University of Central Florida Foundation (UCFF) will serve as a case study for this paper as it describes the steps necessary to create, implement and maintain a comprehensive data programme. Several key building blocks are needed such as setting goals, evaluating resources, garnering leadership support and documenting data standards. In-depth detail is provided on how to create a comprehensive data calendar to track incoming data and data audits. Information is also shared on creating a successful Data Governance Committee structure. Building internal and external relationships is key to data enrichment and the paper will discuss how to select the right vendor. A programme cannot be built overnight, but by using these steps, the framework can be created for long-term maintenance and growth.
Keywords: data management; data audit; data enrichment; data governance; vendor selection
