Smart lineage for every use case
Compliance and governance
- 100% visibility: Cross-system picture of data flows, enriched by the catalog, updated automatically.
- Audit trails: Automatic metadata synchronization keeps lineage current; catalog integration supports data ownership documentation.
- Cross-system traceability: Track flows across international boundaries, scope breaches, and handle right-to-be-forgotten.
- PII detection and security classifications: Automatic flagging, custom properties, enrichment tools.
Data engineering
- Automated mapping: New sources added to lineage automatically, zero manual work.
- Field-level lineage: Column-level traceability that table-level lineage can’t deliver. Required for modern data architectures and complete audit trails.
- Impact analysis: Scope warehouse transitions, platform migrations, and pipeline changes accurately before they happen.
- Cross-platform: Full lineage across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
AI readiness
- Semantic context: A unified intelligence layer of metadata, lineage, governance policies, and observability grounds your AI.
- Governance: Get full visibility into what data AI systems consume and how it’s been transformed, enabling explainable AI.
- Downstream impact assessment: Lineage visualization powered by the federated knowledge graph shows how data landscape changes ripple into AI outputs.
Data products and marketplace
- Active metadata: Understand which data products users engage with, then trace exactly where that data originates and where it flows to.
- Enterprise data marketplace: Business users select data products with lineage attached, giving them the context to act with confidence.
Automated lineage mapping across your entire data environment
The fuller your lineage, the faster you find problems. Actian has native support for 100+ sources, automatically discovered and kept current.

Legacy data environments (on-premise)
Semi-structured data (JSON, Parquet)
High-performance engines (Iceberg)
Specialized and NoSQL databases (Cassandra, DynamoDB)
BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau)
