Framework with 6 Stages

The diagram on the left shows our six Stages in our Framework for Data Management.
This page takes a closer loom at the requirements for software support and what some suppliers have to offer.

For this analysis the four Stages of interest are :-
  • Data Governance
  • Data Integration
  • Data Sources
  • Information Catalogue

    The process can be summarised in the following terms :-
  • Step 1. Identify the Data Sources
  • Step 2. Identify the Data Targets. This will usually involve simply one Generic Target Data Model.
  • Step 3. Define the validation, clean-up and transformation from Data Sources to Data Targets.

    Separate Pages show how different Suppliers meet the Requirements defined by the Generic Features :
  • Collibra
  • Informatica
  • Oracle

  •   Here is a detailed look at the features.
