Today, organizations face a proliferation of data types – different formats, structures, multiple platforms – growing in volumes and needing to be integrated faster to deliver the real-time insight required by business leaders. It’s a daunting challenge complicated by aging tools and outdated data architecture. But what if all your enterprise data could be accessed through a single API, use a single metadata model or catalogue, and utilize a single security model ?

It doesn’t apply to relational data structures only, but also to non-relational data such as SMF records, IMS DBs or VSAM data sets to name only a few. This allows organizations to leverage data sources together that were never designed to be leveraged together in the first place.
