Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A chief data officer is a corporate officer who is the manager for enterprise-wide data processing and data mining. The CDO typically reports to the chief technology officer or the chief executive officer. The role of manager for data processing was not elevated to that of senior management prior to the 1980s. As organizations have recognized the importance of information technology as well as business intelligence, data integration and data processing to the fundamental functioning of everyday business, this role has become more visible and crucial.
