The need for data movement and data integration solutions is driven
by the fact that data is everywhere underneath business applications.
The same applies for metadata: metadata is also everywhere underneath the various tools involved in
database and software development (data & object modeling),
data integration (EAI, ETL, EII), data warehousing, and business intelligence.
Meta Integration® Model Bridge (MIMB)
is the most complete metadata transformation and integration solution on the market.
The strong collaboration with our partners
is allowing MITI to provide an unprecedented level of detailed metadata integration,
covering metadata standards, such as
CWM, and the latest trends from leading ETL, OLAP & BI vendors,
in particular the transformation of expressions from ETL, EII, OLAP and BI tools, opening new doors
for version management driven lineage & impact analysis
in a multi-vendor environment.
MIMB also supports change management and updates of complex metadata, in particular in the filed of business intelligence.
MIMB is available as an enterprise edition desktop utility with a very intutive and powerful java based user interface:
Step 1: Import
|
Step 2: Subset
|
Step 3: Browse
|
Step 4: Diagram
|
Step 5: Lineage
|
Step 6: Export
|
MIMB is also available as a web application, and for metadata scripting capabilities on both Windows and Unix.
Finally, MIMB also works as an add-in for metadata import/export
within popular modeling tools like CA ERwin, IBM Rational Rose, Sybase PowerDesigner.
Finally, the MIMB technology has been embedded (OEM) by various software vendors like
CA in data modeling,
Informatica in ETL data integration,
Cognos in business intelligence,
and IBM in metadata management software.

Metadata Management (MM) has considerably evolved from its original Data Dictionary, Data Registry, Data Standardization and Metadata Repository roots.
Today, MM solutions are the critical component behind modern Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Data Governance (DG) initiatives.
Indeed MM is at the heart of Enterprise Information Managament (EIM) solutions, and in fact a key component of any Master Data Management (MDM) initiative.
MM provides the information traceability answers for the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act compliance.
Recently, Gartner has positioned Metadata Management in 4th position of its Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2008
(see reports from
ZDnet,
Search CIO,
Manufacturing Computer,
Computer World)
Meta Integration® Repository (MIR)
is based on a modern 3-tier architecture
with support for multi-users, security, and concurrency control.
The MIR metamodel integrates standards like the
OMG CWM & UML, and supports XMI compliant metadata interchange.
The MIR metamodel extends the OMG CWM standard with the latest trends from
leading ETL, OLAP & BI vendors.
MIR can manage massive amounts of metadata and make it persistent on most popular RDBMS like DB2, Oracle or SQL Server.
The underlying repository database is fully open allowing users to build their own metadata
web portals, or use their existing data tools to perform metadata reporting,
and intelligence.
Meta Integration® Web (MIRWeb) and Works (MIW)
provide the web and desktop metadata management toolset.
MITI provides all metadata management
functionalities
with powerful Metadata Version & Configuration Management, Browsing,
Comparison, Integration, Mapping, and Reporting.
MITI implements detailed lineage and impact analysis graphical tools
for today's complex multi-vendor environments, therefore providing the
"technical truth" on the origin of data behind all reports
(as required for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance).
These metadata component solutions are the direct result of MITI's focus
on the fundamentals of metadata management
and especially MITI's integrated metamodel.
