Governance appliance for SMBs

Global IDs has introduced an integrated hardware and software solution for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to address their data governance needs.

The company says its Data Governance Appliance enables SMBs to get their data environment up and running quickly, making it well-suited for organizations that cannot afford a large software license to manage their environment or for those organizations that might have a smaller number of data sources that require governance. The primary user for the Data Governance Appliance will be enterprise data architects, data quality managers and data warehouse managers.

Global IDs claims customers can literally take the appliance out of the box, power it up and plug it into their network. Once the Web portal has been configured and connected to company databases, users across the organization will have immediate capability to govern data in a largely automated manner.
