Introduction
An average enterprise manages over 250,000 data assets across 8–15 different systems—and yet, more than 60% of them lack centralized metadata documentation.
This results in fragmented data visibility, redundant efforts, and significant compliance risks.
Manual documentation is no longer a sustainable strategy for growing data teams.
That’s why forward-thinking organizations are turning to automated metadata discovery tools to streamline their data governance and boost productivity.
At Infometry, we developed the INFOFISCUS Metadata Discovery Tool to:
- Automate metadata extraction
- Visualize data lineage
- Accelerate compliance readiness across cloud and on-prem environments
With INFOFISCUS, customers have reported:
✅ 92% reduction in manual documentation time
✅ 80% faster data onboarding
✅ Metadata transformed from a liability into a strategic asset
The Challenge: Manual Metadata Management is Broken
According to our internal customer analysis, 68% of enterprise data teams reported spending 20–30% of their time on manual metadata tracking and documentation before using INFOFISCUS.
This inefficiency creates:
- Data silos and inconsistent terminology
- Poor visibility into data lineage
- Compromised regulatory compliance
- Time delays in data onboarding and migration
