SAS Extends Support for Open Metadata With Meta Integration Technology, Inc.
SAS has entered into an agreement with Meta Integration Technology Inc. (MITI) to extend support for open metadata architecture by offering customers the option of bundling the full line of Meta Integration(R) Model Bridges (MIMB) with SAS(R) Data Integration.
Through Meta Integration Technology, SAS Data Integration customers will enjoy lower implementation costs and faster implementations, as database managers, designers and warehouse administrators may now integrate and manage metadata from a wider variety of sources.
With Meta Integration bridges, SAS enables users to exchange metadata freely between a range of products from different vendors, minimizing the risk and cost associated with maintaining a variety of software environments.
"The partnership between SAS and Meta Integration Technology Inc. brings added value and an innovative competitive advantage to customers," said Christian Bremeau, president and CEO of MITI. "The ability to import and export metadata leverages metadata for analysis, increases the value for business intelligence and enables better management decisions."
"Our alliance with MITI demonstrates SAS' ongoing commitment to open metadata," said Joe Augustine, worldwide product marketing manager for data integration at SAS. "By offering this improved foundation, SAS will help customers better address their dynamic technology environments, ultimately resulting in more flexible business intelligence solutions."
