THE ROLE

 

The Data Office reports to the Chief Data Officer (CDO). This division comprises five distinct teams: 
1.    ENTERPRISE DATA / DATA MANAGEMENT, whose main mission is to maintain the integrity of master/reference data essential to the Group (such as information on trading partners, ships, locations and shipping lines) within the Master Data Management (MDM) system.
2.    DATA GOVERNANCE, dedicated to promoting “Data Governance by Design” by offering standardized services and ensuring that data quality standards are met.
3.    DATA SCIENCES, responsible for developing and deploying science models and solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI). 
4.    DATA TRANSFORMATION, whose role is to lead transformation initiatives aimed at strengthening foundations, developing new skills and encouraging synergies within the company. 
5.    DATA PRODUCTS ENABLEMENT, which manages data products related to master data, data quality, data governance and data warehousing.

 

Data is an essential asset for tackling business challenges, meeting fundamental business needs and uncovering new business opportunities. To facilitate the implementation of digital initiatives, it is crucial to maintain a high level of data quality in order to reinforce confidence in this data. Numerous projects have been launched in various departments to monitor and understand data quality throughout its lifecycle, from initial collection to end-users. The main objective of the Data Ambition in 2024 is to stabilize and improve the integration of master data within all existing applications and enhance the quality of the Group’s data. 
 
Semarchy is a master data management tool for the CMA CGM ecosystem. This platform has made it possible to create several applications that centralize the company’s data, such as information on ships, commercial partners (suppliers and customers) and the geographical repository. A reassessment of certain architectural decisions is underway to improve the flexibility of Semarchy’s integration with all CMA CGM applications, and its reliability, notably through the use of standard functionalities integrated into the tool (retrofit).
