erwin DI provides visibility into our organization’s data for our IT, data governance, and business users. There is a business-facing view of the data. There is an IT version of the tool that allows us to set up the metadata managed by our IT users or data stewards, who are users of the data, to set up the metadata. Then, the same tool has a very good business portal that takes the same information in a read-only way and presents it back in a very business-user friendly way. We call it a business portal. This suite of applications provides us end-to-end data governance from both the IT's and business users' perspective.

It is a central place for everybody to start any ETL data pipeline builds. This tool is being heavily used, plus it's heavily integrated with all the ETL data pipeline design and build processes. Nobody can bypass these processes and do something without going through this tool.

erwin provides visibility into our organization's data for our IT, data governance, and business users. When we pull in the mapping, we can generate SSIS packages for all our data warehouses. That saves hundreds of hours because it just does it for you. We can then send it to our data warehouse folks, and it's 90% done. In some cases, it's 100% done as far as the mapping goes. The metadata is part of the governance. A part of the erwin Data Integration Suite product is the BUP, which is the Business User Portal. Business users can go in and search in that portal, and they can find all kinds of entities, in terms of call names and so on. It is important to us that all three teams are able to leverage the data, and erwin does it well.

It provides excellent visibility into stable data and data in motion. We have a clear view of ETL processes through data lineage, and a feature called the data mind map.

The solution provides visibility into our organization's data for our IT, data governance, and business users which we require to build the compound report.
