Data catalogs

Brings the value out of data

Companies transforming their business more data-driven often encounter questions: What data do we have? Who uses the data and for what? Where is the data we need? Data catalogs can be the solution for these critical challenges, combining the power of Google-like search, a Wikipedia-like structure and automated self-learning for how data should be structured to generate the most value for the organisation. Solita helps you to utilise modern data catalog solutions and get more value of your data assets.

Data catalogs have quickly become a core component of modern data management. A data catalog is a collection of metadata, combined with data management and search tools, that helps analysts and other data users to find the data that they need. It is a strutcured inventory of all data assets in your organisation, helping you to get more value of your data assets.

  • Higher productivity
  • Better business decisions
  • More efficient collaboration and community
  • Higher value and lower cost of data
  • Legal and compliance
  • Transparency and increased trust in data
