From metadata management to the data catalog

Data Driven Culture - Data Catalogue - Transparency of the data pool

This training is held in German.
Most companies have a wealth of data at their disposal. The extent and potential of this data is often unrecognized and therefore underestimated. With professional metadata management, the existing data is systematically structured, recorded and cataloged. The data catalog is the prerequisite for being able to exploit new, previously unused potential uses of company data more quickly and efficiently, for example to leverage customers or sales potential through data analyses.
