Metadata Strategy
Metadata is often overlooked or forgotten, but it is foundational to optimising data usage and creating business value from your data. In many companies, it is nested within the overall Data Management strategy. A metadata strategy is an overarching document that explains why your organisation needs to implement metadata, who will use it and how it will fit in with the rest of the overall data management strategy. A good Metadata Strategy will help you focus your efforts by creating a roadmap that also sets the foundation for broader data management capabilities.
Why do you need a Metadata Strategy?
Creating a metadata strategy has several direct and indirect benefits, where metadata acts as a foundation for enabling broader data management practices. The following can be achieved if you successfully follow through on your metadata strategy:
- 60% more time saved for reporting teams and analysts through locating data sources, automating metadata ingestion and documenting data products centrally (IDC ROI study)
- Up to 20% productivity increase for compliance teams and 5% for auditing teams by providing automated lineage of critical data elements (IDC ROI study)
- Reduced effort spent on the reconciliation of data elements through central documentation and automatic incident creation
- A foundation for proactive Data Quality management by having the means to store DQ metrics and to report on them
- Increased efficiency of the Data Governance team through tool-enabled workflows and automatically creating a starting point for or defining a data element
