Overview:
The short answer is that all metadata matters. Not just the metadata about database schemas, but also metadata about information processing flows, integration interfaces, data quality and on and on. Metadata is the key to providing answers to a great many questions, both for executive decisionmakers,
and for IT professionals in the trenches who will be asking questions like:


  • "If I buy this great new CRM application, how much is it going to cost my business to get our processes switched over?"
  • "What's a realistic time estimate for getting customer, prospect, invoice and billing data stored in four different applications synced up to eliminate duplicate data entry?"
  • "Will the labor and error-reduction savings justify the expenditure for the project?"

The trouble is, there's been a lot of talk for quite a while now about the need for and value of creating a warehouse for metadata that makes this critical information easily accessible, but businesses have spent too much money and seen far too little results.


Read this paper to learn more about:


  • How traditional approaches to metadata management add to your challenge
  • The secret to meeting modern metadata challenges
