It goes by many names, but the data repository or vault comprises a single space created by software, increasingly often hosted on the Cloud, which contains the corporate data and documents that comprise operations for the many overlapping entities that make up a large organization. These data banks are sorted so as to be easily searchable, use group permission functions to handle access, and track content creation and editing.

Data and document management is only the start of the process of getting a full understanding of operations. The raw data contained in words, numbers, zeroes and ones on your servers or in the Cloud need to be cultivated, mined and shaped into a presentable form on which your leadership is capable of acting.
