dataspot. sets the benchmark – in user-friendliness, performance and customer satisfaction.
Without dataspot.'s fair licensing model, many organisations would not be able to afford a metadata management tool.
Metadata management still has to prove its value within the organisation. There are hardly any large budgets for it, not everyone sees its relevance to the core business, and rolling out data governance across the entire organisation is often like fighting windmills. It is important to us that this step in organisational development can be taken successfully, and this requires an affordable data cataloging tool. Because: Metadata is there for everyone! Our clients truly value this mindset.
Data governance becomes accessible for every organization—regardless of budget or size.
