IV: Determining Business and Technology Requirements
Enterprise data
Data that span the institution -- that is, data collected and used in support of the mission of the "enterprise" -- are often referred to as enterprise data. Examples include data in the campus general ledger, payroll system, human resource management systems, student information system, and purchasing system. Departments that capture enterprise data, taking responsibility for their accuracy and protection, are often called "data stewards,"while the institution is considered to be the owner of such data.
