Data Discovery & Data Management

An organization’s decision-making and operations can only be as good as its data. High data accuracy and easy data access drive effective decision making, improved efficiency and enhanced understanding of the organization’s customers and operations to strengthen profitability.

Enlighten™, ISI’s data discovery and data management methodology, represents a quantum leap in the way organizations analyze, improve, search, integrate, transform, and manage their data. It simplifies the understanding and management of data by both business and IT users and validates all of the source data before the design documents are ever created. With this approach, users gain absolute clarity about the data analysis because it encompasses 100% of the source data, not just samples of the data as in the traditional approach. The result is that the data analysis is accurate, yielding reports that are based on the actual content, structure, and quality of the data, as well as the relationships within the data. This enables design specifications to be created with very close to 100% accuracy, decreasing costs, saving time, and bringing data projects to completion more quickly.

Enlighten provides a secure, multi-user, collaborative approach. Its high-performance analytical engine helps enterprises minimize risk and slash the delivery time for data-dependent projects by up to 80%.

Enlighten:

• Provides a complete, fully accurate and easy-to-understand view of an enterprise’s total data resource, regardless of the number of sources


• Requires very little technical background or experience to use effectively


• Offers point-and-click simplicity for most activities


• Enables most functions to be performed in real time, with users seeing the results of their actions immediately


• Completes ninety percent of inquiries in less than 2 minutes


• Enables multiple users in separate offices or locations to work on the data at the same time and easily share their findings and comments


• Reduces data quality problems by identifying different terms used by different areas of the organization as synonyms


• Stores every value only once, simplifying and speeding searches and inquiries


• Supports and processes data from almost any source, due to its JDBC connectivity

Enlighten provides organizations with the ability to comprehensively assess data content, structure, relationships, and quality. In turn, this detailed picture of an enterprise’s data often means the difference between a project’s success and failure.
