(xiv) Brand Name Justification

Metadata Manager provides a single repository business definition and technical data lineage between the source accounting systems, the Financial Business Intelligence System (FBIS) data warehouse, the logical layer Repository Design and the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise

Edition (OBIEE) catalog (presentation layer). This allows for the sharing of data definition between users across domains and promotes a common business vocabulary that fosters self-service data access, and reduced report duplication across organizations and domains.

Metadata Manager enables the identification of data lineage to build source to target mappings for the reports and thereby, expedite development of reports, dashboards and alerts with less errors. Metadata reports enables users to make better use of the ad hoc querying tool as they are able to determine the transformations and the source of the attributes available in various subject areas. The Informatica Metadata Manager for OBIA add-on is a native tool which allows for seamless integration with Informatica Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) component and the

OBIEE Metadata repository, the platforms currently used at FBIS.
