  With the advent of the Data Age, organisations are constantly under pressure
to pay attention to the diffusion of data skills, data responsibilities, and
management of accessibility to data analysis tools for the technical as well as
non-technical employees. As such, in recent times, organisations are focusing
on data governance and management strategies such as data democratization. Data
democratization is an ongoing process of broadening data access to employees to
find, access, self-analyse, and share data by removing data silos. By
democratizing organisational data, organisations attempt to ensure that
employees can speak the language of data and empower them to use data
efficiently to improve their business functionalities. This paper aims to
identify the critical success factors for data democratization through an
in-depth review of the literature. Based on the findings of the analysis, nine
critical success factors were identified as successors of the data
democratization strategy.
