VW CREDIT DEPLOYS METACENTER AS ITS ENTERPRISE
META DATA MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
Industry’s Only Real-Time ‘Plug and Play’
Meta Data Access Technology and Application Dependency Analysis
Platform Manages Meta Data Across VW Credit’s Data Warehouse
and Business Intelligence Applications
SAN FRANCISCO, CA & LIBERTYVILLE, IL, April 9, 2003 –
VW Credit, Inc, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group (OTC:
VLKAY), one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers,
has deployed the MetaCenter™ Platform as its software
solution for enterprise metadata management.
VW Credit chose the MetaCenter™ Platform for its patent
pending ‘plug and play’ real-time metadata access
and dependency analysis technology. The MetaCenter Platform
can provide visibility across VW Credit’s entire data
warehouse and business intelligence environment, including
data modeling, database, data integration and business intelligence
applications. VW Credit has already deployed MetaCenter to
its production IT systems with anticipation of reaching 600
end-users.
"MetaCenter™ provides access and insight into complex
data and application dependencies across our data warehouse
and business intelligence environment. Our business users
are pleased to have a single, intuitive interface enabling
them to easily access information in real-time from multiple,
disparate sources and our technical staff can be assured that
business users are always seeing the correct data. It only
takes one stale data point for an end user to lose faith in
any meta data management solution. MetaCenter was the meta
data management solution that could provide this assurance
to us." Says Nitish Shah, Manager of Data Warehousing
at VW Credit, Inc.
VW Credit joins the growing list of customers deploying MetaCenter™
to large and diverse groups of employees throughout organizations
both domestically and abroad. The MetaCenter™ Platform

information asset repository that empowers companies to capture,
analyze, and manage all their corporate information resources.
Organizations can instantly unlock and share the metadata
stored in their business intelligence, database, data integration,
and modeling tool applications and seamlessly integrate it
with a best practice based corporate information asset repository.
Impact analysis, data lineage reporting, and repository customization
are easily performed across multiple applications and development
tool platforms in real-time, providing superior performance
and absolute data reliability to ensure maximum return on
invesent.
“It’s no coincidence that a world leading corporation
like Volkswagen is benefiting from the most innovative enterprise
metadata solution available – The MetaCenter Platform”
said Stu Carty, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for
Data Advantage Group. "We look forward to helping Volkswagen
