Most organizations have several tools - CASE and modeling tools, data warehouse development tools, ETL engines, BI reporting and analysis tools, EAI environments, etc. The ability to interoperate between those tools – for example, to trace the data lineage across BI, to ETL, to Mart, to DW, to ETL, to CASE, etc., - is absolutely critical to the business. Increasingly, thanks to the metadata integration and standardization efforts of the OMG, Meta Integration and others, metadata can now be captured and represented commonly between these different environments, allowing for effective management, impact analysis, lineage analysis and numerous other benefits. This session offers use cases to show how customer organizations can take advantage of these industry developments within their data management roles, and also guide their organizations towards more productive, better integrated software acquisitions in future.
