How it Works
Semantic data modeling
- Standardize the “meaning” of your information assets across the entire enterprise and across different domains.
- Enable clear identification of the assets with all their inherent relationships as they appear in real-life.
- Include additional information assets, regulatory obligations, data sources, etc. as your graph data model evolves with your business demands.
Semantic data integration
- Integrate your information assets virtually while keeping your individual legacy systems and their resources.
- Adopt a unified access point to all your information assets by integrating both structured and unstructured data.
- Apply reasoning on data at scale to infer new facts from the available data.
Data federation
- Implement data integration strategy, based on the data quality and consumption patterns;
- Utilize data federation, virtualization, integration with indices, message buses, document stores and third-party systems to ingest data;
- Provide semantically aligned model for data consumption and reuse.
Advanced analytics
- Analyze and predict impact in various scenarios based on high-quality data (technological risk, regulatory and political changes, crisis and disaster events, etc.).
- Receive up-to-date quantitative and qualitative information about your asset inventories (products, financial assets, data assets, software and hardware, human capital, etc.).
- Extract powerful and relevant insights from your analytics by putting your information into context and drawing new conclusions from it.
