Our name translates to our mission … helping clients chart a course to an integrated reference framework that allows them to improve data integrity, enhance analytical performance, and reduce the cost and effort to develop and maintain reports.

We refer to our approach as ‘data cartographics’. Regardless of which tools you use, we believe that your ability to leverage your data is directly impacted by the quality of your business metadata and that a well designed reference taxonomy helps you get more from your information investment. Why?
