Vendor Showcase (An advance peek, new vendors will be added very soon)
Yes, the Data Governance Institute is vendor-neutral. And we maintain that Data Governance is a business issue, not a technology problem. Still, good governance requires tools and technologies.
So which tools should you use? What is the definitive governance tool? Actually, there isn't just one. Data Governance and Stewardship goals can be met by a variety of tools; products that might have primary functions in other areas, such as Data Quality or Metadata Management or Security or Controls Management.
We've put together a unique resource. It's not merely an online trade show; it is the resource that helps you match your needs to the offerings of software providers. You're able to make that time-consuming 'first cut' from a wide selection of premier software providers... quickly and effortlessly, leaving you more time for that in-depth look at those solutions which fill your needs.
In the Vendor Showcase Main Exhibit Hall, tool vendors state which governance/quality/other needs their solutions address, and their products are listed as addressing those needs in a standardised format. You'll benefit by being able to make apples-to-apples comparisons. We'll all learn something, and those of you who need software will have a better idea of what's out there, and what it does.
