Manage Change Effectively In Enterprise Data Integration Environments
Metadata Manager is a key feature of Informatica PowerCenter Advanced Edition. It collects metadata from across data integration environments and provides a visual map of the data flows within that environment. Metadata Manager, along with Business Glossary, provides the visibility and control needed to manage change, reduce errors caused by change, and ensure data integrity.
