Met@Data
The Business Challenge
As an organization's enterprise data and data warehouse evolves, managing and updating the data stores becomes increasingly complex. Metadata management provides critical access for both business users and technical users working with the data warehouse. Depending on the type of user, metadata can serve either as a blueprint to the inner technical workings of the warehouse or as a roadmap to assist in navigating and locating useful information.
Met@Data
Met@Data offers robust metadata functionality by delivering seamless access and integration, maximizing reuse of important metadata and ensuring its usability. With Met@Data, administrators can create structured views of information and allow business users to access this information to make informed decisions, based on accurate and consistent data.
