What is Metadata Management Software?
Metadata Management software provides a robust set of tools for configuring, standardizing and managing metadata attributes across multiple applications and services. It centralizes and governs data definitions, lineage, and business context across the enterprise and empowers analysts and report writers to discover, understand, and trust data thereby eliminating SQL dependency and accelerating time-to-insight across applications and services.
It creates a unified, business-friendly layer across your data landscape defining, organising, and governing how information is named, described, and understood. It enables business users to find and access data in plain language without coding or SQL, while giving IT teams centralised control to standardise and manage data attributes consistently across all applications and services.
