We use this system for managing reference data. It’s the most useful system for data warehouse because all data sources have to come from relational database. Unfortunately before Ataccama RDM was installed, some reference code books came from EXCEL, which is definitely an error-prone data source that does not have proper dataflow and quality checks when inputting data. We are using this system also for managing hard-coded logic in ETLs by creating special reference tables and creating workflows to update it in a manageable way. We will use it for managing code book which is currently booked in some systems but doesn’t have sexy features as in Ataccama RDM. This system can simplify data transfer between systems, eliminate extra copies and is different from a time perspective.
