Enterprise Metadata Management

Trusted BI. Reliable AI. Defensible governance.

Every enterprise runs on numbers that have to mean the same thing in every system that touches them. Revenue in the warehouse, revenue in the dashboard, revenue in the answer an AI agent gives a regional VP at 7 a.m. Getting those to agree is a metadata problem. We've been working on it since 1997.

The Beginning

Nearly 30 years inside the tools you already run

Meta Integration Technology, Inc. (MITI) was founded by Christian Bremeau in Silicon Valley in 1997 to solve metadata integration for large enterprises and government agencies.

That OEM business is still running today. MITI technology remains embedded inside major enterprise software platforms, while 400+ native connectors span mainframe through modern cloud.

The Next Chapter

Now OEM and enterprise direct

For most of our history, enterprises used our technology without knowing it. That made sense while the hard problem was moving metadata between tools.

The hard problem changed. Enterprises now run lineage in one product, cataloging in another, governance in a third, and semantic definitions in multiple BI tools. Each one keeps its own metadata and its own version of what a metric means. AI made the cost visible: an agent grounded in four disagreeing definitions produces four defensible answers.

MetaKarta is our answer, sold direct. One platform, one shared metadata repository, four capabilities that read and write the same metamodel.

One Shared Metadata Foundation

What MetaKarta does

Data Lineage

Column-level lineage computed by parsing the actual code that moves your data: SQL, Python, Informatica mappings, SSIS packages, stored procedures, COBOL copybooks. Lineage by design, not by observation.

Data Catalog

Business context attached to live technical reality, harvested directly from the estate so the catalog ages with the systems it describes.

Data Governance

Ownership, versioning, and policy applied at the point of use, with the full change history behind every audit answer.

Semantic Hub

Governed business definitions compiled into the native formats of your databases and BI tools and compiled context for AI agents, so the definition arrives where the query runs. We don't sit in your query path. We've already compiled into your systems and tools.

Documentation describes what should be true. Compilation makes it true.
Why MetaKarta
The Beginning

The Switzerland of Metadata

Our partners have been calling us that for years, and it's a description of our business model as much as our architecture. We've spent nearly 30 years building connectors for vendors who compete with each other, which means we've never had a reason to make one platform look better than another.

Vendor-neutral by architecture, not by promise.

Leadership

Our mission

To give data professionals in large enterprises one place to define what their data means, and one mechanism that holds that meaning consistently across every system they already own.

Christian Bremeau

Founder & CEO

Christian founded Meta Integration in 1997 and has led it since. He spent the decade before that building metadata repositories: repository architect at Transtar Software, repository consultant at Software Design & Analysis on the ISO PCTE standard, then SVP and CTO at Stanford Management Group. More than 30 years on the same problem, from the standards work through to the platform. He holds degrees from Le Mans Université and Sophia Antipolis.

Simon Dynin

VP of Engineering & CTO

Simon has owned MetaKarta's architecture since joining in 2002, including the metadata model that every capability in the platform reads from. He came from Acta, where he was a software architect on early enterprise data integration. He's the person partners call when a connector has to handle something no one has parsed before.

John Friedrich

VP Partnerships

John owns the OEM and technology partnerships that put our metadata technology inside the industry's major data platforms, including the newer platform relationships with Databricks and Snowflake.
