Exeros DataMapper Integrated with BusinessObjects Metadata Manager
XI Accelerates Deployment of Data Lineage Programs SANTA CLARA,
Calif., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Exeros(TM), Inc., an innovator in
data mapping and automated data relationship discovery software,
today announced a partnership with Business Objects (Nasdaq: BOBJ;
Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0004026250 - BOB), the world's leading
provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, to accelerate
time to deployment of data lineage projects for users of
BusinessObjects(TM) Metadata Manager XI in complex heterogeneous
environments. Data lineage is like an RFID tag for data - it tells
you where the data is and how it flows throughout an organization.
This "trail" is essential for ensuring the quality, reliability and
auditability of data, and is a lynchpin of data governance
projects. "Data governance is a complex process," said Fern Halper,
a partner at analyst firm Hurwitz & Associates. "Before
organizations can create policies to manage data, they should
understand their data. That means having a comprehensive awareness
of where data lives, how it interacts with other data, and where it
has been. This means understanding data lineage. Exeros and
Business Objects realize the significance of data lineage on data
governance initiatives and have created a solution to address this
issue". "BusinessObjects Metadata Manager helps companies
consolidate metadata from a large number of disparate sources,"
said Todd Goldman, vice president, marketing, Exeros. "It provides
users of business intelligence reports confidence in those reports
by showing the data lineage back to the originating system." Exeros
DataMapper, the only solution of its kind, automates the discovery
of business rules and hidden sensitive data across multiple systems
(such as Social Security numbers 'stuffed' into other columns and
rows). With this partnership, Exeros DataMapper will automatically
populate BusinessObjects Metadata Manager with the business rules
and metadata vital for understanding data lineage. This integration
will significantly lower the cost and time to deployment for data
lineage projects by more than five times the average. "Many
organizations are reduced to discovering their data lineage and
populating a metadata repository by hand, which is a time consuming
and costly process," said Wyatt Mullin, vice president of global
ISV channels, Business Objects. "Exeros DataMapper will automate
and accelerate the discovery and population of data relationship
metadata into BusinessObjects Metadata Manager. We look forward to
working with Exeros to ensure the success of our joint customers."
Exeros DataMapper is used by companies to lower the risk and speed
the deployment of sensitive data flow discovery, master data
management, hand- code-to-ETL migration and legacy data migration
projects, saving companies thousands of data analyst hours and
millions of dollars. BusinessObjects Metadata Manager XI reduces
project costs by consolidating and integrating metadata into an
open, relational repository. In addition, Metadata Manager provides
impact analysis, which enables users to find the relationships
between sources (tables or columns), targets, universes, and
documents so they can better understand the impact of changes to
source and target systems. About Exeros Exeros, headquartered in
Santa Clara, California, was founded in 2002 by senior executives
with more than 50 years combined experience in data management and
data integration. Funded by AllianceBernstein Holding L.P., Bay

projects through automated data relationship discovery and data
