As organisations grapple with exponentially growing data volumes and increasingly complex regulatory environments, data catalogues are becoming more a vital aspect of successful data management. At the same time, catalogues are growing in sophistication, going far beyond simple data discovery and lineage tracking. Developing a centralised inventory of your ever-growing data assets will allow your data to be better accessed, analysed and understood by the disparate users throughout your organisation. With considerable time and financial investment required, it is important to have the correct strategy to get your money’s worth.
