Data Management Tools

Data management tools are software solutions that help businesses handle their data more effectively by storing and organizing it to keeping it secure and making it useful. These tools play a key role in maintaining data integrity, staying compliant, and running operations efficiently.

There are many types of data management tools, each built to handle a specific part of the data lifecycle. Some focus on moving and integrating data across systems, while others help with governance, security, quality checks, or analytics. Some tools include data integration, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), workflow automation, database management,data governance, data quality, and analytics.

The main types of data management focus on different parts of the data lifecycle:

• Data governance establishes the rules and responsibilities for how data is handled across the organization.

• Data integration brings together data from different systems to create a complete and connected view.

• Data quality involves checking and improving data to make sure it's accurate, consistent, and usable.

• Data security involves protecting data from threats, whether accidental or malicious, through safeguards like encryption and access controls.
