ROI and the Integrated Metadata Management Strategy
Most metadata management tools are limited to a specific type of problem (e.g., data management, data warehouse management, etc.). As more than one type of metadata problem surfaces, organizations find themselves purchasing additional tools to solve the additional problem. The result is many tools, little/no integration, no single point of understanding, and a thin ROI case for any one tool. Leveraging an integrated metadata approach not only delivers fast and powerful solutions but also minimizes costs while putting a robust infrastructure in place for the entire organization to leverage (not just IT). During this session you will how customers have leveraged ASG marketing leading Integrated Metadata Management Solutions to make a profound impact on their business in highly cost effective manner.

integration initiatives.
