The erwin EDGE platform, with data governance at its hub and surrounded by data mapping in addition to business process, enterprise architecture and data modeling capabilities, "provides a data-first focus in enterprise context," as described by IDC. The software portfolio's goal is to harmonize IT-driven data management with business-led data governance to unleash the power of enterprise data by unlocking accurate, actionable insights that lead to innovation and transformation while mitigating data-related risks.
