Data monetization is a cross-functional discipline that draws from best practices in enterprise data management (EDM), technology, legal engineering, and finance to leverage data to increase revenues, reduce costs, and manage risk. EDM programs have generally found it extremely difficult to get senior management buy-in in the absence of regulatory pressures or the fear of a data breach.
