The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In technology and software companies, Database Administrators spend hours each week updating data dictionaries in tools like Confluence and SharePoint. The process involves reviewing legacy entries, clarifying vague terms, and ensuring alignment with current data governance policies. Manual edits lead to inconsistencies, overlooked conflicts, and time wasted coordinating with data stewards and business analysts.
