"The Intralign ecosystem was procured for Macquarie University to establish a single source of truth glossary, however we got so much more. Compared to other glossary tools, Intralign is the single most sophisticated piece of software available on the market. Other data governance tools look at a glossary as a secondary, and often more inferior, objective. However, with Intralign, the importance of well-structured definitions, term governance, and artefact management are at the core of their service since they understand the importance of consistent, well-managed and usable terms as the foundation of data governance.
With Intralign, we not only got a software program, we got access to local support 24/7, expert advice, and a well-established framework for information management governance.
Mark and Terry have enabled me, coached me, and given me the confidence to engage the university community, and to advocate for a consistent, centralised source of truth, ultimately resulting in improvement to our data quality, reporting, and communications."

Making big business decisions is tough
There’s a lot of risk and not much certainty.
Without solid, reliable business information, strong business decisions are impossible.
What if that could change with one easy platform?
Features
Business Glossary
More than a definition list, the Intralign Encyclopaedia business glossary implements the Intralign Definition Writing Standard, assisting the definition writing process and ensuring unambiguous definitions that provide clarity and improve communication, making it easy for definitions to be evaluated and approved by the business community. The Intralign business glossary focuses your information and data governance activities by placing your business language at the core. This enables definition change assessment through its relationship mapping feature (ontology / knowledge graphs).
Knowledge Artefact Management
The Intralign Encyclopaedia provides a register of significant knowledge artefacts that can be governed for quality, security, accessibility, ownership and life-cycle management. Its links to the business glossary allow a deeper understanding of the artefact content and its quality. Our glossary integration with dashboards and data catalogs provides an enhanced experience of reporting and analytics.
Issues
Management
Raise information quality issues easily, and enjoy a transparent and trackable issues management capability to ensure efficient and satisfactory resolution. Accountability is established and information quality issues are visible to anyone viewing the encyclopaedia content.
A central hub for information governance
Finally have the visibility over information management activities you need to ensure requirements are met and information quality is delivered. See your information governance in action with dashboards & optional reporting-service add-ons.
“We piloted Intralign and found it to be the only product on the market that had built-in functionality to ensure well-structured and grammatically correct definitions. It also has lots of other features to facilitate collaboration and automated governance processes.
I have no hesitation in recommending the Intraversed team, and their product Intralign...”

FAQs
-
What is a business information resource?
A business information resource is any artefact or reference that contains information that’s current and meaningful to your business.
This can mean Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents, financial reports, regulatory reports, dashboards, websites, and the people and their associated business terminology.
It does not include data stores, databases but may include the designs for data extraction underlying dashboards and reports. Business information is information that is created from raw data.
Business information resources are the basis of organisational knowledge that supports business decision making, but they are rarely managed and governed sufficiently enough to ensure business assurance. Does your IT data governance cover your financial reports?
-
Why do I need to manage my business information resources?
Making business decisions is hard.
You’ve got to make big calls that will have a big outcome. There can be a lot of risk involved and there’s rarely any certainty.
Imagine knowing your decisions are based on a rock solid foundation because the information you’re receiving from your business is reliable, accurate and current.
We know that kind of information is not only hard to get, sometimes it’s near impossible. Your team just can’t get accurate information they need to get you what you need, and you may not be aware of the compromises they’ve made.
Intralign minimises business risk by making business information resource management easy. When your business information resources are well managed, your team always have what they need to give you what you need.
- No wasted time searching for information or reports.
- No misinterpretation of what the numbers mean.
- No inconsistency between reports.
- No information issues going unresolved.
That means happier staff, reliable information, clear communication and a solid foundation for business decision making.
That’s business assurance.
-
Why do you refer to Intralign as a business encyclopaedia?
When you register a knowledge artefact into Intralign, you are recording all the relevant details about that artefact, such as:
- what the resource contains—using approved business terminology,
- where it’s stored,
- why it was created,
- what it can legitimately be used for,
- what privacy and security is required for use, and
- when the contents should be considered out of date.
This ensures your team will always have what they need to give you what you need to make the best business decisions.
-
What’s the business benefit of a business information resource issues management system?
Intralign’s encyclopaedia of business term definitions and business information artefacts allows any staff member who identifies an issue with either the resource or an associated process to raise that issue. All terms and artefacts are assigned an owner, and accountability for the resolution of any issue is transparently assigned. Intralign allows for collaboration in developing that resolution, so all stakeholders can see what’s changing and why, and they can comment or register suggestions as the resolution develops. As the whole process is visible to all, governance teams can monitor the progress of the resolution and ensure no issue goes unresolved.
