Business Semantics Management
Many of the proccess and service oriented initiatives will fail as people forget the data.
Collibra's Business Semantics Management is doing with information what business process management is doing with processes.
One of the main goals of IT organizations is to help users share information, be it on the web or within the enterprise. Organizations that want to achieve greater levels of productivity, agility and make their organization more efficient need to be able to reuse and share their information assets. How is that ever possible when people do not understand where the information resides, what it looks like, or what it means. Information has become of competitive and strategic importance to companies. Collibra's business semantics management solutions help companies manage, govern and leverage their information assets to the fullest.
What and Why ?
Collibra's Business Semantics Management solution consists of three distinct phases:
- Reconcile for documentation and optimzation: Cheaper & faster integration, reduce legacy problems, faster time to market
- Consolidate for sustainability: Semantic Alignment between business and IT, business insight, information assets evolve with the business, information governance
- Leverage for operational efficiency: automatic semantic integration, faster development of new applications, better enterprise search, content management, ...
Advantages
- Deliver on the promise of your SOA and BPM initiatives. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Building a flexible architecture on static, incomprehensible legacy data sources simply does not make sense. Collibra's business semantics management provides you with a scalable, sustainable information-centric architecture on which you can build new applications.
- Information Governance: Provide insight in who is responsible for what information asset, track how it has evolved over time, provide real business insight into the meaning of all information assets.
- Semantic Alignment: Collibra's unique solutions makes information assets understandable for IT and business. IT is responsible for mapping the information concepts to the underlying data sources. Business can leverage these mappings to simply select the relevant information concepts to be used in an SOA or in business processes.
