We had not had a virtual metadata repository or any kind of metadata repository. That was one issue we needed to address because people were creating data silos. They didn't know we had data in our transactional databases. Another big issue is that we need to implement Phase 2 of an agency-wide data quality program, and we like the automated data quality rules in Lumada's Data Catalog. We didn't find a regular, full-time data quality person, so we're using this solution for that. And the third use case is that we're about three months into an application modernization project. It is going to be a sweeping, epic project for our agency in which we are moving to online applications, permitting and licensing on Salesforce. We believe that by tagging fields there before the consultant starts, and as the consultant works through it, and then after, if data is migrated elsewhere, it will be tremendously helpful for the success of the project.
