英業達聯手Microsoft Azure與IBM建立資料治理，揭密製造業數據轉型4大關鍵 製造業數位轉型的根基在於資料，為完善資料蒐集與管理的過程，英業達藉由IBM諮詢服務導入微軟Azure Purview，落實資料治理並加速推動AI應用！     出處來源 數位時代 https://www.bnext.com.tw/article/68332/microsoft_ibm   隨著數位轉型議題的持續發酵，台灣許多製造業開始有了更前瞻的想法，尤其那些越是積極投入轉型的製造大廠，越發感到資料治理的重要性與必要性。因為，他們在完成工廠智慧化後，想要將數據中台應用擴散至產線以外的場域，例如，銷量預測、客戶管理等，普遍遇到資料定義不清楚與資料品質不佳的問題，導致資料匯流快但應用難，從而衍生出對資料治理的需求。   另一方面，資料治理除了是擴大智慧化場域的關鍵，更是製造業者改寫市場版圖的新機會，相較於金融業因為監管要求而每家都要做資料治理的狀況，越能早一步將資料治理落地到日常營運、形成數據驅動決策DNA的製造業者，越有機會保持並提高競爭優勢，進而在全球市場中勝出。   台灣製造代工先驅英業達，便藉由IBM諮詢服務導入微軟整合式數據治理解決方案Azure Purview，完善資料蒐集與管理的過程，希望藉此加速推動AI應用，實現數據驅動決策、數據驅動經濟兩大目標。   打破資料孤島　率先透過Azure Purview打造製造業資料治理平台   「在數位轉型之前，企業應該先進行『文化轉型』，讓員工建立資料共享、共有、共同維護的觀念，」提及當初推動資料治理的初衷、英業達董事長卓桐華這麼說。   英業達在推動數位轉型過程中發現，很多資料散落在各個系統或電腦中，需要運用時，不知道要去何處取得資料，就算知道也有取得的困難，包括應用權限以及資料可靠度等問題，大大拉長了數據決策與AI應用的開發時間。       來源：數位時代   英業達數位長陳維超 英業達數位長陳維超進一步表示，不只是資料取得不易的問題，還有資料定義不一致的問題，這可能會造成預測模型的偏差，跨組織管理應用的困難，進而影響到決策的品質與準確度。       來源：數位時代   由左至右: 台灣微軟首席營運長陳慧蓉、英業達董事長卓桐華 呼應卓桐華與陳維超的看法，台灣微軟首席營運長陳慧蓉亦指出，微軟在協助全球客戶轉型的過程中，看到很多企業都遇到與英業達相同的問題，且不只是影響決策品質，包括日常營運及法規遵循都可能受到影響，尤其GDPR、個資保護等法規上路，企業在資料使用上必須更加謹慎，更加促使資料治理成為企業營運剛需，也因此微軟推出 Azure Purview ，透過資料地圖、資料目錄、資料深入解析三大功能，一來協助資料使用者有效率且快速的找到所需要的資料，以充分發揮資料的商務價值，二來方便企業掌握資料資產的使用情況，並據此不斷調整資料使用的策略和規範，為數位轉型打下良好的基礎。   一如英業達在啟動數位轉型計畫後，就決定導入IBM諮詢服務建立資料治理的方法論與框架，再透過微軟資料治理解決方案Azure Purview集中管理元資料（Metadata），不只解決資料同名不同義或同義不同名的問題，也讓資料從取得、管理、儲存及應用，變成一套標準SOP，當需要使用資料時，只要按照流程，就能知道這些資料的來源、如何存取及相關使用規範。   揭密企業推動資料治理的4大成功關鍵 綜觀英業達過去一年多推動資料治理落地的經驗，包括高層支持、從業務需求出發、善用外部資源及相關同仁積極參與，可說是成功的四大關鍵。   第一、高層的支持與參與     來源：數位時代   由左至右：IBM首席資料科學家謝明志、英業達數位長陳維超及其資料科學家團隊 IBM首席資料科學家謝明志認為，英業達從董事長、總經理、到事業群主管的高度支持與參與，讓組織內的每個成員都能了解其重要性，是資料治理重要的推動力。   對此，陳維超指出，數位轉型是一段漫長的旅程，必須由上到下，先讓高層管理者看見成效，再由下到上，提供員工可以執行的工具及流程。英業達先透過集團看板的應用，讓高階管理者感受到資料應用成效，成功爭取管理層的支持與決心，才再進一步延伸到資料治理必要性。   第二、從業務需求出發、擬定資料治理框架   在建立資料治理框架時，英業達是從業務需求的角度出發，將與資料相關的同仁納入，共同建立起資料應用與分類框架，並在同樣的框架下，將資料治理手法擴散到一個個不同場景。 陳維超說明，首先談業務需要交換、傳遞或共享的資料是什麼？業務定義的邏輯是什麼？再把業務規格轉成技術開發用的規格書，讓IT人員能夠據此將資料從源頭處拉到資料中心，並經過品質檢驗確認資料沒有問題後，再提供給後端進行報表開發、預測分析等數據應用。 「一般企業在推資料治理時，經常會以資料技術角度切入，並快速落入操作細節，導致資料治理容易變成見樹不見林的資料欄位管理專案，而英業達從業務需求出發的做法，恰恰避開了這樣的盲點，」謝明志說。   第三、善用外部合作夥伴的力量   對英業達內部同仁來說，資料治理是一項新的應用，而新應用導入首重速度和經驗，速度要快、經驗要豐富，才能順利導入，「如果初期需要很長的規劃或溝通時間，那麼它被採取的機會就會小一點，」陳維超說。 因此，英業達從一開始便決定與外部專業夥伴合作，透過IBM諮詢服務團隊在比較短的時間內，把英業達期待的做法快速導入至各個部門，再藉由微軟Azure Purview去落實各項做法。 陳維超認為，選擇Azure Purview主要有三點考量，首先英業達原本就使用許多微軟的解決方案，同仁對微軟並不陌生；其次Azure Purview為雲端服務，企業可以採用訂閱制的方式來使用，不只能加快導入速度，還能響應現今的碳排管理的永續企業趨勢；第三Azure Purview支援多種不同資料來源，未來若要大規模應用，也能發展出混合雲架構，擴充彈性相當大。   第四、資料治理執行小組的高度參與並協助資源協調   對英業達來說，資料是企業共有，資料治理流程是彼此共同協商出來，而非單獨幾名管理者或幾個部門自行決定，因此在推動資料治理初期，便請各部門指派比較瞭解資料處理流程及應用場景的同仁參與，向其說明資料治理流程和觀念，而這些跨部門同仁亦積極參與各項會議，共同定出適當的SOP，他們的高度參與，也是英業達推動資料治理最重要的成功關鍵之一。 在完善資料治理流程後，英業達如今正加速執行各項數位轉型計畫，像是與和微軟合作打造5G智慧工廠，全力朝數據決策、數據經濟兩大目標邁進。「資料治理之於企業，就像是房子的基底，」陳慧蓉形容，企業要數位轉型，必須資料治理先行，而藉由英業達的導入經驗，微軟希望能發揮拋磚引玉之效，推動台灣製造業者正視資料治理的重要性，成功踏上數位轉型之路。
