Take Control of the Data Explosion
Manage risk and compliance with data transparency.
The data you need is everywhere—data warehouses, business intelligence applications, ETL tools, enterprise applications, XML files and more. Metadata is the key to using it effectively and connecting the dots. Talend Metadata Manager gives your organization visibility and control of metadata so you can manage risk and compliance in enterprise-wide integration projects with end-to-end traceability. Metadata Manager connects all your metadata—from ETL to business intelligence platforms, from Hadoop to SQL/NoSQL databases, and from modeling to analytics tools—into a visual information supply chain and gives you the controls.
Increase agility across your data landscape.
In a data-driven enterprise, IT teams are change agents, not bottlenecks. Talend Metadata Manager makes lifecycle change management proactive: harvest and connect metadata across existing platforms to get a bird’s eye view of data flows, establish version and configuration management policies, and take advantage of impact analysis. Put control of data where it belongs: with the business users, data stewards, and IT architects responsible for business decisions, data governance, and policies.
Turn your data into a business language.
Data-driven companies turn work jargon into a common business language. Talend Metadata Manager provides an ISO 11179 compliant business glossary that exposes sanctioned definitions of the terms used to run the business, measure performance, and report on activities. Through guided workflows, data stewards can reference those terms and connect them to data points in the IT landscape, databases, applications, reports, and more.
