The solution also affects the transparency and accuracy of data movement and data integration. If people are using Excel sheets, there is my version of truth versus your version of truth. There's no source of truth. There's no way an enterprise can benefit from this kind of situation. Bringing in standardization across the organization happens only through tools like metadata harvesters, data catalogs, business glossaries, and stewardship tools. This is what helps bring transparency.

It has a big impact in terms of the transparency of the data. Everybody is able to find the data by using the catalog, and they can also see how the data is getting loaded through different tables. It has given a lot of transparency. Based on this transparency, we were able to have a good discussion about how the data should be organized so that we can collaborate better with the business in terms of data organization. We were also able to change some of our table structures, data models, etc.
