In the book The Art of War for Executives, Donald G. Krause interprets the following: “Sun Tsu notes, superior commanders succeed in situations where ordinary people fail because they obtain more timely information and use it more quickly.” For metadata professionals, this observation is increasingly relevant as more and more of the business seeks integration and federation, alignment with business goals and strategies, and agility - the ability to respond both quickly and accurately to change. Industry analysts and IT professionals are less focused on solutions to problems where metadata management plays a role but rather look more to metadata management as an overall strategy for the benefits it provides to multiple aspects of the whole organization.
