What is CLOE?¶

CLOE is an accelerator toolbox equipped with multiple tools to reduce the time to market/development time for data projects.

CLOE is not one tool or has one specific purpose rather it is a fast evolving toolbox that offers automation solutions to all part of the warehousing architecture. From the early stage on analyzing source systems to late stage tasks like access control in the gold/reporting layer.

It is a suite of tools developed by various consultants which are often also the tool owners across initions. Each tool is designed to address specific needs and functionalities.

While the development and maintenance of individual tools are managed independently, there is a dedicated oversight team responsible for ensuring the coherence, integration, and overall quality of the toolbox. This team provides guidance, sets standards, and ensures that all tools adhere to inition's best practices.
