Who Owns the Data? Using Internal Customer Relationship Management to Improve Business and IT Integration

By Frank L. Eichorn
Dr. Frank Eichorn uses the provocative title "Who Owns the Data?" to draw our attention to the relationship that Business departments have with their Information Technology departments. The IT folk sometimes confuse stewardship of the data with its ownership. Data and information management have evolved from supporting operational functions such as payroll, expense tracking, etc., to being a key differentiator in the success of an organization by helping it understand its external customers. More importantly, Frank reminds us that IS/IT departments must treat the functional units as "customers" of its service. Drawing on the best practices of external customer relationship management (CRM), he presents his model of Internal Customer Relationship Management (IntCRM) as a tool for assessing a company's current IS/IT internal climate and a framework for improving business and IT alignment.
