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.
