With this application, if data was entered manually with a system whose data we migrated onto the DRM system, we can automate 90% of that manual entry.

Have you ever been in those Governance meetings that are always to long already and always run over that obnoxiously long time? I have. I just got through implementing the workflow in DRM at a client that this issue was prominent at. People were not showing up to meeting because they simply didn't have FOUR hours to burn in a meeting where most of the time was spent looking for missing approvals and supporting documents.

Implementing the workflow portion of DRM which is called Data Relationship Governance(DRG) the client cut that time down to an hour. This brought attendance to a all time high of 100% participation, this also meant that they had time to talk about more important things like the what was going on in the company, bringing them closer together and more efficient as a team. 

Having a central place to maintain hierarchies that are pushed to multiple applications reduces the headache of the business user chasing their tail trying to figure out what the difference is. Since you have hierarchies centrally maintained, everyone is working from the same starting point.

It has enabled us to replaced existing legacy custom built solutions whilst at the same time providing greater functionality and flexibility. We are now able to produce hierarchical reporting at a much greater consistentcy.
