Critical success factors in data management

Abstract The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) of data and database administration functions. A field survey was made in 16 large corporations of information systems executives who were identified as having a key role and interest in data management issues. Several important data and database administration factors were identified. Of these, three were found to be CSFs for data administration and four were found to be CSFs for database administration. Two overlapped both areas. The overlapping factors had to be considered from both a technical and organizational perspective.
