How does your company define “profit”? What about an “order” or a “customer”? While you may think that terms like these have only one common definition, we’ve found that different organizations can describe these terms quite differently. And even within a single company, different people may be defining the same term in multiple ways.
That’s why Qlik is pleased to announce the initial release of a business glossary which will be available to all Qlik Cloud Analytics customers as part of their existing subscription. Built upon the Cloud Catalog framework, users can now access a single, easily-accessible repository of business terms and descriptions. This ensures that everyone in the organization has the same understanding of key business terms.
When Data stewards are defining and managing these business terms, they can also categorize terms logically by business context, define relationships between terms, reference related apps & datasets as well as control which terms are accessible to users.
Having a business glossary helps ensure that everyone in the organization speaks the same language. It can streamline data-based decisions by eliminating misunderstandings due to competing terminologies or inconsistencies between technology definitions and business language. And a glossary can simplify regulatory compliance and serve as a crucial tool for data governance.
