Metadata Management

Metadata Management Consultants

It's the key to cataloging, classifying and tracing data — and data lineage — across the information supply chain.

Metadata isn’t simply “data about the data.” It’s the foundation of data literacy and the frame of reference for which context and meaning is applied to make it easier to find, trust, understand and leverage enterprise data. Metadata is also a critical component of many data initiatives, including data governance and data quality.

You likely know your organization’s metadata challenges, even if you never defined the problems that way before. Getting a better grasp on your business, technical and operational metadata can facilitate the management and use of high-value data assets that are clearly defined, managed, integrated, governed, shared and linked to high-priority business objectives.

Without metadata management, data and analytics programs struggle to contextualize information assets, limiting decision-making capabilities and business outcomes. Solid metadata strategy and management capabilities will provide a comprehensive view of your company’s data. This begins with the ability to find, track, organize and understand all available data — whether structured or unstructured.
