• Developing standards and best practices for data consumption, including educating data consumers on data quality, availability and interpretation

• Identifying opportunities to reduce complexity and increase efficiency across data models and our data warehouse

• Ensuring the data and output is of high quality - tested, automated, scalable and documented
