In Microsoft Purview Data Estate Health, the Central Data Office and other data managers are able to evaluate the status of the data against their company standards and effectively manage progress towards their strategy. In order to make sure that everyone in the company knows what can be done to increase the value of their data it's essential that the standards are understood and scalable to the whole organization without needing to make everyone a data governance expert. Starting from an industry standard set of controls that are available out of the box in Microsoft Purview each data office and customize the controls to meet their expectations and ensure it aligns with their data goals. Critical to the effectiveness of these controls isn't only the measurement of these standards but also ensuring those responsible for the data are able to take action on their own and be held accountable to making the improvements that affect the value of data. In Data Estate Health, you're able to set and manage all of these critical capabilities.
