Data Lineage Solution

 

 

We help you discover, assess and prove the complete journey of your data from its source, through multiple systems, to use – so you can understand and truly trust the data at the foundation of your business.

We do this through a visual map of your data’s journey and transformations through all systems in your organization.

Data Understanding and Analytics

  • Quality and characteristics of the metadata related to your data: Know whether it’s complete per your standards by seeing check boxes, inspections or ratings
  • See key categories like critical data on the map view: In context with data quality scores. We can use your existing systems or calculate them ourselves
  • Add tags: Such as annotations, chats or owners of systems – to columns, tables or metadata – so anyone can search and trace back to see data’s source and changes – and to add powerful business context.
Governance

Governance

  • Policy setting: A data policy – such as having to comply with  BCBS 239 – can be written into Solidatus as a reference model, so it can match your policies to data and check tables and columns comply
  • Policy representation: Business users can click on policies and trace back to see checks are applied, see any issues or gaps
  • Rules management: Define and run logical rules-based analytics on top of the map view, to spot issues relating to data quality, accuracy, completeness and personal identifiable information (PII).
Business Data and Metadata Management

Business Data and Metadata Management

  • Match, link and merge:  Do so for any data policies, filling any gaps with an easy user-interface. You’ll then have business context, from which you can create different views for users.

Business Operations and Decision Making

  • Understand the quality and completeness of data: For accurate business decisions
  • Regulatory reporting:  Once you’ve decided how to enforce policies, you can reference regulations in a dictionary in Solidatus and apply controls and checks for Solidatus to run on columns or tables. See whether controls are effective, identify gaps and apply tasks to people to resolve
  • Impact and gap analysis: Understand the impact of changes throughout your systems. Do gap analysis and once issues are found,  inspire action and collaboration by assigning a task to someone.

Governance

  • Policy setting: Shows regulators controls in an end-to end view with the rules, policies and controls
  • Attestation: Check on a macro and micro level that controls are working and effective
  • Bi-temporal version control: Solidatus keeps logs of all versions, code and changes in the past. See on a timeline any controls, stewards and more that were added. Also see your path today, then fork and create a parallel, of what you plan to do – then merge it back into the timeline.

Connected Catalog

  • Data discovery: Enables business users to search and browse where data is used, without having to look at more technical information
  • Data products and critical data elements include descriptions at the data level, such as what is first name, last name etc
  • Business glossaries are available to centrally record and share additional terms and synonyms for business users, so everyone uses familiar terminology.
