Data Sharing

ODS DATA SHARING WORKFLOW 

The Office of Decision Support is responsible for managing any external communication of data to third parties outside of USF. To help the various units across USF continue their partnership with third party entities, ODS has set up a simple and consistent workflow that accomplishes the following:

1. Informs ODS about the new partnership between a USF unit and an external entity which involves the transfer of data between the groups.
2. Captures associated support documentation and material that specifies the partnership between a USF unit and external entities where transfer of data is involved.
3. Facilitates a pipeline for the USF unit to advertise their partnership with Information Governance committees and have conversations with respective data owners.
