MELVILLE, N.Y., July 16, 2019 – erwin, Inc., the data governance company, today announced it is included as a “Representative Vendor” in the 2019 Gartner “Market Guide for Information Stewardship Applications”1.
According to this Gartner report, “there is an increasing need both to ingest metadata from remote applications and systems in which data is being governed and/or stewarded, and to ’push out’ to those same systems any changes in policies.”
erwin believes its data intelligence (DI) suite, which combines data cataloging and data literacy capabilities, meets this need and more by providing an automated, metadata-driven framework for:
- Discovering data – Identify and interrogate metadata from various data management silos.
- Harvesting data – Automate the collection of metadata from various data management silos and consolidate it into a single source.
- Structuring and deploying data sources – Connect physical metadata to specific data models, business terms, definitions and reusable design standards.
- Analyzing metadata – Understand how data relates to the business and what attributes it has.
- Mapping data flows – Identify where to integrate data and track how it moves and transforms.
- Governing data – Develop a governance model to manage standards, policies and best practices and associate them with physical assets.
- Socializing data – Empower stakeholders to see data in one place and in the context of their roles.
“We believe our inclusion as a ‘Representative Vendor’ in this particular Gartner Market Guide validates why the world’s most discerning enterprises rely on erwin as the foundation of their data stewardship and governance initiatives,” said Adam Famularo, CEO of erwin. “We further believe that our innovative data intelligence suite fuels an automated, high-quality data pipeline for all enterprise stakeholders – data scientists, data stewards, ETL developers, enterprise architects, business analysts, compliance officers, CDOs and CEOs – so they can access data relevant to their roles and transform insights into actions that improve everything they do.”
