What is the Enterprise Data Lifecycle?

The Enterprise Data Lifecycle (EDLC) refers to the eight stages that data goes through from its creation to its eventual disposal as seen from the strategic enterprise perspective. At Peregrine, we view the EDLC as a frameworked process that outlines the natural progression of data over its lifetime. This enables organizations to create data management structures that correspond to the various stages of the EDLC process while driving enterprise-wide data cultures that support data-driven decisions.
