Collibra Information Enabler
Semantic technology only becomes really powerful when it is leveraged for operational efficiency. Leverage your business semantics for automatic integration, semantic search and query using the Collibra Information Enabler !
The Collibra Information Enabler provides real time information services through business semantics and mappings to the original information sources. The Collibra Information Enabler empowers you to fully leverage the power of business semantics without the need to change your existing information infrastructure. The power of the Collibra approach comes exactly from getting the most out of your existing (legacy) systems.
The following image provides a conceptual overview of the Collibra Information Enabler.
Benefits
- Automatic Transformation: Instead of manually writing transformation programs, Collibra's Information Enabler can automatically transform information from one format to another when both these formats have been linked to your business semantics.
- Scalability & Manageability: As the Information Enablers can be generated from commitments to business semantics, a hub-and-spoke like solution is realized. This diminishes greatly the problem of proliferation of data formats and custom transformation code. However, because an Information Enabler is generated for every kind of transformation, it does not have the traditional hub-and-spoke issues. In Collibra's approach, the management is centralized through the commitments and business semantics, while the operational transformation is still distributed, point-to-point, but automatically generated instead of manually written.
- Tracking & Governance: The Collibra Information Enablers keeps a log in database of every tranformation it has executed. This makes it easy to track and govern all transformations. The data that is automatically created can also be easily leveraged to develop other interesting applications.
