Description
Metadata Management Corporation (MMC) is a small woman-owned software development and consulting business headquartered in Vienna, Virginia. As world class innovators of metadata and repository technology, we build on methodologies such as Enterprise Architecture Planning and the Zachman Framework to provide a logical and methodical flow to achieving an integrated enterprise. MMC has developed methodologies and processes to aid in the archaeology, extraction, and integration of an enterprise's metadata and have implemented our repository product, DesignBank, for a very large Air Force organization. Our thoughts and ideas have changed and evolved to keep in step with new techniques, methodologies, and practices of the 21st century.
The pace at which change occurs today is far quicker than it has been in the past and obviously slower than it will be in the coming years. Many of these advances are good. Good for the economy, good for the country and good for business. However, not all of these changes are good and not all of these changes are necessary. But how do you know if you can afford to ignore a change? Who has time to analyze what these changes mean to your business and what impact they will have on it? The ultimate solution is to be able to evaluate each of these changes with existing manpower and resources but without throwing your business into turmoil? The answer is to have your business defined, classified and managed in such a way that impact analysis can be performed. This can only be accomplished through a controlled, quality tested, and managed repository.
A repository, such as DesignBank, should provide the framework for classifying artifacts and establishing relationships among the artifacts to enable impact analysis and change management. If an organization wants to manage all of their information resource architectures (i.e., technology, data, and application) from high-level abstractions through lower level transformations -- it can't be done without a repository. Business process engineering became very popular a few years ago -- but, how many times can an enterprise afford to reengineer? How does an organization protect its reengineering investment? Perhaps one of the reasons, the reengineering wave lost momentum in the last year or so, is due in part to the idea that once all the work went into the reengineering process, the artifacts of that reengineering may not have been managed in a way that allowed an economical iteration of the total reengineered solution. The TO BE of the reengineering effort rapidly became the AS IS that needed to be changed again. An organization can't afford to be stuck on a perpetual reengineering cycle especially in light of the substantial investment required to do reengineering. With a meta-information repository, the artifacts of the reengineering can be maintained, accessed, and reused. More importantly, these artifacts can be integrated with all other artifacts so the impact of change can be shown from one functional area to another, from data model to data schema, from one level of abstraction to another, from strategic plan to software code.
