Data Lineage for Change Management

Data lineage for change management

Whether it’s cloud migrations, preparation and transformation for AI, or general change management, you rely on data flowing as and where it should, to keep business running as usual.

Having a visual representation of the current and potential systems in your business, showing where data flows and transforms, both now and into the future, allows you to prevent losing or damaging critical data in the process of transformations.

Platform Capabilities

Change management impacts the entire business

Eliminate the unknown with detailed impact analysis

Proactively map and build a plan of your data estate at a granular level and within the context of the full business.

Scanning and discovery capabilities enable you to identify blind spots and dependencies, and reduce risks in migrations.

Understand which data will be impacted by change

Granular, fine grain data lineage, with business information layered on top, allows you to find what the impacts and blockers might be to migrating successfully, so you can adapt plans accordingly.

Plan and predict future states and steps

Bi-temporal version technology allows you to see what-if scenarios and visualize how systems will be connected, once a new system is implemented.

You can demonstrate progress, conduct gap and impact analysis and see historic and future data flows.

Bringing it to life: example migration scenario

In the discovery phase of a migration, a business wants to understand its current state, identify which data to move, and mitigate risk during the migration. Solidatus helps by:

Scanning all systems, so they know what data they have, where it has come from and where it is flowing
The business can look back and forwards and document the migration progress over time. They can visualize all possible future versions, including a parallel track to the one they are on currently, so nothing is accidentally broken and to ensure zero downtime
For regulatory compliance, they can track sensitive data and ensure it is protected during the migration.
