Putting Metadata to Work to Achieve the Goals of Data Governance
Examines the business advantages of effectively managing metadata to achieve the goals of data governance across a full spectrum of IT initiatives.
IT organizations are under pressure to execute important regulatory compliance and risk management initiatives. Data governance plays a critical role in an IT organization’s ability to deliver on these initiatives. IT organizations need to establish a solid data governance practice to successfully execute regulatory compliance and risk management initiatives. IT organizations need to take metadata, or “data about data,” into account when setting up a data governance practice and manage metadata effectively.
This white paper examines the business advantages of effectively managing metadata to achieve the goals of data governance across a full spectrum of IT initiatives. It discusses how Informatica PowerCenter, a single, unified data integration platform that is based on a metadata-driven architecture, can be used to manage metadata and, as a result, effectively manage data governance.
