BusinessObjects Metadata Management
Consolidate, integrate, audit, and trust your metadata.
BusinessObjects Metadata Management overcomes the difficulties of managing metadata from various data sources, technologies, and systems. BusinessObjects Metadata Management involves consolidating and integrating metadata into an open, relational repository. Our solution brings it all together to reduce workload, lower project costs, and provide users with trusted data and analysis.
BusinessObjects Metadata Management enables organizations to bring all their metadata in one place - making BI deployment and change management easier and delivering trusted data for compliance, internal controls, and better decision making.
BusinessObjects Metadata Management integrates metadata from:
- Various databases (DB2, Oracle, Sybase Terradata, MySQL, etc.)
- Modeling tools (such as ERWin, Sybase Power Designer, etc.)
- Extract, transform, and load (ETL) products
- Business intelligence (BI) components (such as BusinessObjects universes)
"Our goal is to create a long-term, scalable solution to support Consumer Credit Group's current and future Business Intelligence initiatives. Business Objects is a core component of that long term solution and a key partner in the journey."
