Metadata Management Solution n. 1: a system for quick answers to the following questions —

• What data do I have?

• What does it mean?

• Where is it?

• How did it get there?

• How do I get it?

Metadata management is critical for organizations that rely on multiple data sources for business intelligence, need to leverage and reuse integration processes or objects, and efficiently manage change across multiple applications. The ability to view and analyze metadata also provides an auditing mechanism that ensures the value of the data continues to meet business objectives.

Pervasive® Metadata Studio™, a key component within the Metadata Management Solution, automatically captures extensive design-time

and production metadata into a metadata warehouse for powerful analysis of integration processes, designs and inter-relationships. Business and technical end users can search on any data element, any function/rule, source or target connection, map or process design for impact analysis, lineage and reports for team collaboration. Built on the Pervasive Data Integrator™ platform for extensibility and customization, the product allows data analysts, developers and other key business and technical resources to quickly view and report on dependencies and the context of data elements.

With the Pervasive Metadata Management Solution, you can query and report, create an audit trail, conduct impact analysis of data elements or extract strategic metadata from the metadata repository with standard reporting tools. In addition, the built-in querying and search capabilities ensure that administrators and developers can do all this and more with the intuitive, browser-based interface.

Features:Comprehensive Metadata Warehouse Collect metadata from all the sources supported by Pervasive Data Integrator. Review and understand integration design processes and components for reuse as well as for audit reporting for compliance and data governance.

Extensibility for Changing Environments Change is a constant, but managing change should not have to be difficult or costly. Pervasive Metadata Management Solution has the extensibility you need to meet change requirements and allows you to leverage all your metadata to gain insight into business processes, flows, and trends.
