The Adaptive Metadata Manager™ product (V11.0) comprises a number of highly configurable software components that provide an organization with the eight core capabilities required to govern and improve virtually any data-driven business capability. 

These capabilities are: Data Lineage, Data Quality, Impact Analysis, Business Terminology, Business to Technical Traceability, Version Management, Change Approval Workflow, Stewardship, and Automated Harvesting & Stitching of the Data showing source to target and target to source of how the data flows throughout an organizations.

The quality, reliability, security, accessibility, and usability of a company’s data dictate the effectiveness of the organization in driving new business opportunities, delivering state-of-the-art customer service, managing risk, generating meaningful decision support models, and reducing operating costs.

Data Governance and Metadata Management are two closely associated Data Management Capabilities which organizations must address in order to truly turn their data into Information Assets.  Without a complete understanding of the data upon which an organization relies, decisions about how it should be managed and used for competitive advantage, new product development, target marketing, risk management, financial reporting and regulatory compliance are based more on “instinct” than on “facts”.

Effective governance of information assets demands setting up formal governance bodies and processes and establishing control of the organization’s “knowledge” about those assets to better answer these questions. Metadata is the principle means by which this knowledge is represented.

Metadata management is an important component of a data governance strategy as it provides a single, reliable enterprise-view of data while facilitating auditing, reporting and compliance.

Adaptive’s Metadata Manager remains among the industry’s leading enablers for data governance – making it possible for companies to orchestrate cross-functional activities that influence data outcomes, which in turn, drive business effectiveness around decision support, campaigns, customer service, operations, compliance and risk.
