Data lakes are growing rapidly within organizations, fueled by an explosion of new data sources, applications, and users in the environment. Yet information about the data is often shared through tribal knowledge, which becomes unsustainable as the data lake grows. Users demand quick and easy access to basic aspects of data within the data lake:

• Where did the data come from?
• How has the data been transformed?
• What does the data mean?

According to Nick Heudecker, Research Director at Gartner, "Without descriptive metadata, and a mechanism to maintain it, the data lake risks turning into a data swamp. Without metadata, every subsequent use of data means analysis starts from scratch, like a form of data amnesia."

What if you could:

• Reuse the work that has already been done to find the data and files you need
• Get timely visibility into the changes that are occurring
• Simplify data preparation

Register for this webcast presented by Chris Twogood, VP of Teradata Product & Services Marketing, and Michael Lang, Loom Product Manager, as they discuss and demonstrate Loom as a solution to these challenges.
