Enterprise data management enables companies to “know what they know.” But it doesn’t reveal insights outside the scope of an initial query. Bottom line? Up to now, as every organization knows, it’s been hard to find and access relevant contextual data.
Companies compete on data. And today more than ever they need a common way to govern and manage this core asset. That requires an integrated view combining critical metadata right across the data supply chain.
Accenture’s Universal Metadata Repository (UMR) changes all that. Using the same technology that underpins the internet it provides a single logical view of the data supply chain to support:
Because data is often held in separate tools, systems and locations and managed by separate groups, companies have experienced a disconnect between what they want from their data and their ability to deliver. That’s changed forever. The UMR makes connections in all the right places, making it easy to understand, trace and access data throughout the data supply chain and across multiple systems.
The UMR augments these tools by providing advanced internet-like search functionality.
Tracking all the metrics and their interrelationships, the UMR monitors data quality programmatically.
The UMR lets users trace data from its system of origin right through to the point of consumption, tracking changes along the way.
The UMR uses Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to create user roles and allocate permissions.
This defines business terms and definitions related to physical assets so users can understand data semantics and why/how it’s being used.
Plugging into any metadata or pipeline tool, custom connectors extract the metadata into the UMR—providing a single, coherent environment to search and view metadata.
In a unique anti-money laundering (AML) deployment, the UMR is enabling banks to get the most value from their data and analytics investments in this key space. Implemented for an AML multi-tenant utility, the UMR helps consortium members track their data across multiple systems and transactions in a programmatic and transparent way. The UMR:
The UMR reduces the friction in your data supply chain so you can unlock the value of your data.
