ASG Software Solutions Partners with Revelytix, Inc., to Increase Productivity for Data Scientists

NAPLES, Fla. - Sept. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Naples, FL and Sparks, MD  -  ASG Software Solutions announced today a partnership with Revelytix, Inc., to include Revelytix’s Loom software with ASG’s Rochade and metaGlossary software.  ASG’s Rochade is the leading enterprise metadata management and data governance platform and ASG-metaGlossary its companion market leading business glossary solution. Revelytix created Loom to significantly reduce the complexity of managing data in Hadoop and to sharply increase the productivity of data scientists working in Hadoop.

ASG Rochade and metaGlossary, the world’s leading metadata repository solutions, enable businesses to catalogue, understand, govern and profitably exploit enterprise information across the organization. By providing role-appropriate support to everyone in the organization, they make it easier for businesses to meet regulatory challenges such as those arising from Basel II, Solvency II, and HIPPA.

Revelytix’s Loom adds critical data and metadata management for Hadoop features including the lineage of all data transformations that occur in Hadoop. When data lineage in Hadoop is added to the rich data lineage already supported by ASG Rochade, enterprises have a thorough understanding of their changing data landscape across both their legacy and big data platforms.  For Rochade customers, the addition of Loom will now provide end to end lineage from both relational databases and Hadoop-based data and analytics.

“ASG has long been committed to helping enterprises to maximize the value of information in operating and governing the business and supporting decision making,” said Scott McCurdy, ASG’s Chief Technology Officer. “As our customers move to implement Hadoop-based solutions the same essential requirements need to be met. Combining metaGlossary, Rochade and Loom will bring together best-of-breed enterprise and Hadoop metadata management to provide end-to-end information governance and usability.”

Revelytix Loom provides a smarter Hadoop including dynamic dataset management, automatically calculated data lineage for all transformations and Activescan, which automatically detects, parses and profiles any new files in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).  This allows better data governance and faster time to value from new, incoming big data sets.

“Loom brings key features to make Hadoop enterprise-ready,” said Michael Lang, chief executive officer, Revelytix. “The Apache Hadoop distributions are still somewhat short of the complete set of features expected by large enterprises considering using Hadoop for core data processing tasks. Bringing Loom’s capabilities to Rochade will fully address enterprise metadata requirements for Hadoop-based data and analytics.”
