DATUM, an Infogix Company, Achieves Highest Use Case Score for Data Value in Gartner's First Evaluation of Critical Capabilities for Metadata Management Solutions
Ranking First for Data Value Use Case and Second, Third and Fourth for Data Governance, Data Risk and Compliance, and Data Analysis Use Cases, Respectively
NAPERVILLE, Ill., Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Infogix, a leading provider of data management tools and recent acquirer of DATUM, today announced its recognition in Gartner's first evaluation of Critical Capabilities for Metadata Management Solutions.
As an extension to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Metadata Management Solutions, the Critical Capabilities is designed to aid data and analytics leaders in their solution selection. The report evaluates 11 critical capabilities to meet the growing demands of four specific use cases as they relate to metadata management:
- Data Governance
- Data Risk and Compliance
- Data Analysis
- Data Value
DATUM, an Infogix Company and a leader in data governance software and strategic services, ranked the highest in the Data Value Use Case with a score of 4.34/5 and received no scores lower than 4.29 for the additional three use cases. Infogix was also included in the evaluation.
"We believe bringing the capabilities together from both organizations will be tremendously powerful for our customers. Infogix has been serving key needs of the market and the synergy achieved from the newly merged capabilities will help our clients bring together data governance and data quality, in addition to the people and processes in a more comprehensive solution set needed for successful metadata management," says Emily Washington, senior vice president of product management at Infogix.
"Data and analytics leaders are expanding their data management capabilities by adding metadata management. This trend is being driven by conflicting pressures: on the one hand, demands for more flexibility in accessing data is growing; on the other, the rising importance of data governance, risk and compliance forces organizations to become more cautious regarding the possible uses of data. This is leading to demands on organizations to offer more transparency in the uses of data, what it actually means, where it is coming from, and whether it can be trusted," states the Gartner Critical Capabilities report.
Infogix and DATUM are known for the focus on data value and being able to determine what data matters and why it matters. Beyond governance, data quality, data prep, analysis and other products, Infogix offers innovative, strategic consulting for the Office of Data and strategic data supply chain management, as well as professional services to help clients with data strategy formulation, program initiation, platform implementation and training.
