Data Governance at Scale: Lessons from Newmont’s Acquisition Integration

Mining acquisitions don’t leave much time for data cleanup. When Newmont acquired Newcrest Mining in late 2023, the company became the world’s largest gold producer and expanded its workforce and revenue by 40%. The next challenge was clear: integrate both organizations into a single SAP instance by early 2026. Success depended on more than moving data. It required clear ownership, consistent standards, and well-defined approval processes from the start.

Join Precisely and Brenda Costner, Data Quality Director at Newmont, for a conversation about how a mature data governance program is instrumental when embarking on integration efforts. You’ll hear how in recent acquisitions, Newmont established key data decisions before migration began, and how they governed data across both legacy and target environments throughout the transition. Brenda will also share lessons learned, unexpected challenges, and practical advice for organizations preparing for large-scale data transformation initiatives.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• The advantages and tradeoffs of different data migration methodologies
• How the team addressed challenges such as duplicate materials, inconsistent business partner data, and creating a trusted source of business data
• How Precisely’s data governance solutions helped with data migration
