Abstract
The need to manage enterprise data has been coming into increasingly sharp focus for some time. Years ago, data sat in silos attached to specific applications. Then came the network, with data becoming available across applications, departments, subsidiaries, and enterprises. Throughout these developments, one underlying problem has remained unsolved: Data resides in thousands of incompatible formats and cannot be systematically managed, integrated, unified, or cleansed.
