Link MDM, DQ and BI to the business

Large scale projects such as MDM, DQ and BI projects are not merely IT implementations of a certain technology. They need to support the business, and in order to be successful, they must start from the business.

Projects such as Master Data Management, Data Quality, Business Intelligence, etc. are various ways in which to enable your data governance. They are concerned with the actual data whereas data governance specifies the requirements (process, ownership, meaning, ...) around that data.

Business-driven semantic modelling

Models are an important part of any data-related project. While IT has various ways of handling model elements and data (e.g., UML, XML, code tables, ...), it is important that the models correspond to the business meaning.

Collibra's Business Semantics Glossary allows you to generate technical models from a business-friendly environment in a variety of formats (e.g., UML, XSD, RDF/OWL, SKOS, XMI, ...). Forward engineering has never been easier and more business-friendly.

End-to-end traceability

Your business concepts (e.g., "Customer") are the most commonly used points of reference in everyday business life. Wether it is in reports, meetings, policies, models, databases or informal business discussions. As such, they are the key for providing end-to-end traceability between the business objectives and their applications in downstream systems.

Collibra's Business Semantics Glossary can be integrated with external applications such as a technical metadata management repository, to provide a complete, business-friendly picture of traceability.
