UT’s Process Data Standards Manual – Completed for General Person Data in time for HR – People did not follow it
Sponsor Committee Policy – Added to the Data Standards Manual – People still did not follow it
Duplicates – HR had 4 core offices entering General Information Needed specific training and they had to be held accountable. March 30, 2008

UT’s Process Reporting – ODS was installed and functional staff needed to define where certain data was and how it was used. – W2 process is tested to find an employee with a permanent address of Perrysburg, Ohio Pakistan Yes we have zips tied to county, city and state – Departments complaining that their employee reports are not correct Not all of my employees are listed No current job for my employee so benefits are wrong March 30, 2008

UT’s Process How could we get people to care? – Needed a process that involved the end-users – The process needed to reward good behavior but cause some type of pain for bad behavior
Committee structure now includes frontline not just custodians

Duplicates This process is NOT automated – Reports tell us when we have duplicates – Whoever entered the duplicate helps pull the 2 person records together

Summary Data Governance needs to be everyone responsibility Rewards and Punishments need to be in place Written procedures must be shared – We use the local help for most of ours – We have a group within the portal
High level support is needed March 30, 2008
