IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog Benefits

• Manage catalog metadata: Run data workflows to prove trusted information, support compliance and governance standards, resolve duplicate assets, map databases to database aliases, and automate the authentication of data sources to improve overall project deployment. Additionally, users will discover how data moves across the network and will be able to identify how and where data was sourced and how it is being consumed. This will promote a greater assurance and belief that the data is continually secure and safe.
  
  
• Improved people and process management: The solution helps to definitively clarify roles and responsibilities of all team participants. Users can easily design, edit, and publish governance protocols, accept new or audited information governance rules, and/or move the rule to Draft status. Users will also obtain notice (via email) of any governance issues that appear in their glossary or information assets.
  
  
• Boost current metadata: This can be achieved by using descriptions and relationships, group related labels, stewards, assets, and custom attributes to all other related assets. Develop protracted data sources to add metadata to the catalog that may not be able to be added automatically or that are not able to be imported easily from outside third-party applications. The solution will also help users have a greater understanding of all their data assets - unstructured, semi-structured, and structured.
  
  
• Discover assets in the catalog: Users can easily initiate either a simple or advanced search or even begin very intensive deep queries. An intuitive GUI is available to trace the history of all changes, probe stewards, information assets, glossary assets, and all other catalog content.

• Seamless cloud integration: IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog facilitates a smooth adjustment to the cloud. This makes it no longer necessary to employ an on-premise ecosystem. This move will also result in significantly reduced resource usage and help save on overall administrative costs for the organization.
