Data integration tools allow data to flow between different technologies. One of the problems of using a data integration tool is that it might not capture the data flow – and lineage or any transformation that is happening when data moves from one technology to another. A data integration tool can be a connector between a database and an ETL or might be written from scratch. Key piece is capturing data flows and transformations. Solidatus can capture this lineage and focuses on column level lineage and transformations from different technologies and data integration tools.
A digital transformation strategy may include everything from swapping out a single system, to doing an on-premise to cloud migration – or several of these. Problems in digital transformations can emerge around discovery and scope, being able to plan the future state, support business continuity and ensure security and compliance. Those requirements correspond to capabilities of Solidatus’ data lineage solution.
In data lineage, data mapping is the specific process of linking data fields from one data source to others.
Data management is the process of collecting, keeping, and using data in a cost-effective, secure, and efficient manner
Data mesh is a methodology of managing data, whereby instead of one central data control unit or team, data management is decentralized in an organization
A data migration process involves selecting, preparing, extracting, and changing data in order to permanently move it from one software system to another
Data risks for AI relate to regulatory requirements, responsible AI use, and the ability for users to trust the outputs of AI models
Data tracing refers to being able to trace back from a critical business use case, such as an annual report or compliance requirement, to see the source, journey and changes of data that impact these use cases.
Metadata management helps standardize a common language and description of data, using a set of policies, actions and software to gather, organize, and maintain it.
A Solidatus Integration enables Solidatus to ingest detailed information (metadata, lineage, transformations, etc) from external systems into structured models.
Column-level lineage is a form of lineage that goes to the level of detail of tracing the flow of data through your organization at the column level of a system – as opposed to only the table level.
