As organizations pursue customer data integration (CDI), master data management (MDM) and other data integration requirements for data warehousing and business intelligence (BI), IT professionals are being asked to migrate, re-use, aggregate, and share data at unprecedented rates. These efforts will only succeed with an in-depth personal understanding of data.
Evolving data governance structures identify the importance of a data stewardship initiative. Data management solutions are needed to help a data steward collect, maintain, update, report, and otherwise manage information.
Data assessment gives you visibility into your data through powerful profiling and reporting, allows you to track ongoing data quality improvements through continuous monitoring, and ultimately ensures the success of your critical business initiatives.
Data profiling takes the mystery out of data quality problems and helps you create strategies to deal with them head-on.
Metadata management capabilities can provide information on storage, reporting, and the life cycle of information (for example, the business impact of data storage or content changes). Metadata management also provides trusted data for compliance, internal controls, and better decision-making.
