Integrate your data across multiple systems

Consolidates disparate data into a single, reliable record to help ensure that the best data is maintained across multiple sources and systems. Load the master record into operational data stores, data warehouses or master data applications to create a trusted source of information.

Improve data governance

Includes a Governance Catalog Extensible Framework, which helps you build trusted data by creating, maintaining and monitoring consistent business policies and rules. Offers data class definitions, multilanguage support, XML schema definition, as well as asset interchange support for extended lineage content.

Better understand your business information

Uses a standardized approach to help you discover IT assets and define a common business language for your data. Introduces open metadata features to support your data compliance needs.

Assess, analyze and monitor data quality

Allows you to derive more meaning from your data, using integrated rules analysis on a scalable platform. Loads cleansed information into analytical views to enable you to monitor and maintain data quality. Reuse these views across the enterprise to establish data quality metrics that align with business objectives, allowing your organization to quickly uncover and fix data quality issues.

Integrate with Hadoop

Enables data integration, data cleansing, and data profiling and analysis workloads to run on the data nodes of a Hadoop cluster. This allows you to introduce data enhancement, integration and governance features where your big data is stored, to minimize data movement. Provides support for Hadoop files including data formats, character sets and data types.

Flexpoint licensing

Gain access to the unified governance & integration platform offerings via flex point licensing. It supports your rapidly evolving business needs by giving you flexible access to the offerings included in the platform. Purchase entitlement based on your expected needs. When your business requirements change, gain the flexibility to add or stop using a product and apply the same flex points to another offering within the platform, as long as you stay within total flex points purchased.
