- AT&T carries more than 614.6 petabytes of data across its global network every day. To manage data at this scale, it was critical to define a common approach to how data is stored, managed, accessed and shared across the company
- In recent years, AT&T has established a ‘single version of truth’ for each defined data product so employees are not using different sets of data on the same projects and coming up with conflicting answers to the same questions
- We created a common data catalog for data findability, and implement data quality checks and security patterns across the data pipelines
- And, AT&T established a data governance council that includes all core data user groups across the firm to get and stay aligned on this common approach to data
- This discipline enables our Chief Data Office, hand-in-hand with our business partners across the firm, to harness this massive flow of data to help solve a diverse array of AT&T’s most technically challenging problems
