TopQuadrant released of TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance™ (TopBraid EDG). A modular, extendable, standards-based solution, TopBraid EDG provides integrated data governance across the ever-growing types of data assets and governance needs for enterprises. As a silver sponsor and exhibitor, TopQuadrant will showcase and demo TopBraid EDG at Enterprise Data World in San Diego, CA, April 17-22, 2016. You can visit TopQuadrant at booth #413.

Data governance is a quality control discipline for assessing, managing, using, improving, monitoring, maintaining and protecting organizational information. According to Irene Polikoff, CEO and cofounder of TopQuadrant, “As organizations start to realize the importance of their data assets, they are often faced with legacy data governance practices and systems that hamper them from unlocking the value from that data. TopBraid EDG is an agile, comprehensive response to today’s complex data governance needs designed to help enterprises maximize the value of their data by addressing any legacy barriers and future challenges.”

With TopBraid EDG enterprises benefit from a modular, extendable solution that provides integrated data governance over multiple types of data assets, including business glossaries, reference data, crosswalks, ontologies, taxonomies, data, policy and lineage models and other business, technical and operational metadata. By enabling enterprises to govern connected data assets and providing end user capabilities that help to preserve the meaning of data, TopBraid EDG provides multiple benefits that reduce costs and increase quality and efficiency:

• Helps organizations use data more intelligently
• Provides visibility into data and business operations
• Allows organizations to ensure that their data is consistent, reliable and usable for analysis
• Provides rich, standards-based information structures that enable users to capture anything they need
• Enables data integration across applications for operational needs
• Automates distribution of governance datasets and metadata
• Enables agile responsiveness to new data requirements
