Metadata driven development realises "smart manufacturing" of data ecosystems – blog 3 - Solita Data

This is the third part of the blog series. The 1st blog focused on the maturity model and explained how the large monolith data warehouses were created. The 2nd blog focused on metadata driven development or "smart manufacturing" of data ecosystems. This 3rd blog will talk about reverse engineering or how existing data assets can be discovered to accelerate the development of new data products. Companies have increasing pressure to start addressing the data silos to reduce cost, improve agility & accelerate innovation, but they struggle to deliver value from their data assets. Many companies have hundreds of systems, containing thousands of databases hundreds of thousands of tables, millions of columns, and millions of lines of code across many different technologies. The starting point is a "data spaghetti" that nobody knows well.
