Conventional wisdom suggests that a
centralized function for managing access to data provides economies
of scale while providing trustworthy oversight of the quality and
usability of that data. Business must be agile; increased business
control of information enables greater freedom in analysis. The
increasing need of business users for speed and agility also
requires a higher degree of speed and agility in IT that can be
achieved by automating trivial tasks.
