As part of their differentiators they already support the Applicability new Data governance domain Forrester is still defining to govern AI and all algorithms based insights as well as another Data Governance 2.0 domain the data monetization to support the contracts management of data supplied and sold.
As it is the first release announced today there are still limitations like the lack of automation/suggestions for naming data stewards, the lack of data and Data Governance valuations which are important to prioritize the Data Governance activities and globally making a more efficient Data Governance. But the product is promising : connecting Data modeling, EA and Business Process information within a unified metamodel allows to develop the new Data Governance 2.0 expectations that enterprise customers are looking for : less driven to support compliance only, more agile while involving and supporting always more stakeholders, more efficient, more delivering the right business outcomes by finding the best compromise between “opposite” constraints and regulations.
