Help everyone understand what data the data warehouse holds
and how to use it with convenient, easily accesible documentation
Data warehousing projects are expensive - hardware, software, development costs - and their value often is vague. You put a lot of effort into finding, extracting, transforming, cleansing, and loading data into data warehouse, and need to maintain it every day, and your organization is not using its full potential. Why? Because people do not know what data exists, which tables and columns hold what data, or what is the source or calculation of fields.
Thankfully, Dataedo will provide a context around data (metadata) in your data warehouse. People working with data will know what data there is, where to look for it, and how to use it in order to turn it into value.
Build a complete database documentation: describe each table & column and visualise relationships between tables to provide meaning and purpose. Stop wasting time on looking for data and figuring out the data schema.
Database Documentation →Crowdsource the knowledge with Data Community. Allow users to post comments, warning and rate data assets on a 5-point scale. This will help you identify areas that need improvement and create to-dos so things actually happen.
Data Community →Allow everyone in your organization to make more use of data through a better understanding of data. Get higher ROI from your investment in building and maintaining a data warehouse.
Dataedo will allow data analysts, data scientists, and business users to focus on getting insights from data instead of searching for it, help developers make changes and updates in databases and software, and support data stewards and compliance officers in ensuring data processing in accordance with regulations.
Allow everyone in the organization to speak the same language through a business glossary. Established universal definitions of key concepts accelerate articulation of requirements for new reports and analytics, the design of the solution and later understanding of the presented numbers.
