How to get control over your data landscape

Jun 10, 2022

We are a new user. Our first impression is that it works fine for what we need it. The implementation of connectors take a lot of time due to internal infra requirements. Once we had it working and the organization saw the possibilities we faced a lot of new requests.

Centralize a tremendous amount of data with erwin DI

Jan 19, 2021

I have been recommended by a colleague to use erwin. Well, I can say that erwin delivers a modular computing interface that incorporates data analytics, enterprise engineering, business processes, and data processing. The product is distributed as a managed service that helps users to explore and gather data, and by linking physical metadata to particular business terms and concepts, to structure and deploy data sources. In order to ensure that data policy and best practices are implemented, the erwin Data Intelligence Suite (erwin DI) integrates data catalog and data literacy capabilities for better knowledge of and access to accessible data properties, advice on their use, and guardrails. Erwin Digital Intelligence (DI) is also known as erwin DG, erwin Data Governance, for Data Governance.
