Enterprise Data Catalogs
Evolve To Support
Modern Data Platforms
Metadata management is not new, but it is one of the fastest evolving and critical components of a best-in-class and modern data platform.
Conceptual data understanding is viable for consumption use cases like analytics, governance, and business processes that data governance catalogs provide. But data engineers need detailed telemetry and logical data of the data environment to make the right trade-offs to architect and build data-driven applications. Which is why they need enterprise data catalogs for the DataOps environment to understand and activate data.
As a result of these trends, enterprise data catalog (EDC) customers should look for providers that:
- Address the diversity, granularity, and dynamic nature of data and metadata.
- Generate deep transparency of the nature and path of data flow and delivery.
- Deliver a UI/UX that reinforces modern DataOps and engineering best practices.

“They need data catalogs for the DataOps environment to understand and activate data .”
