Improve data quality with data lineage
Trace your data transformations automatically with Actian’s advanced data lineage software. Ensure full visibility and integrity from source to destination.

Actian Data Intelligence Platform’s data lineage capabilities enable data teams to get a complete view of their data’s lifecycle – from its collection to its use, storage, and preservation over time. Automated lineage tools map the relationships between systems, applications, and reports to provide a context-rich data ecosystem for your organization.
Through an interactive and user-friendly lineage graph, better understand your data, easily identify transformations, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Easily explore your data’s life cycle
Actian Data Intelligence Platform offers enhanced data lineage capabilities, allowing your users to navigate through the lifecycle of their data via a visual and easy-to-interpret lineage graph. Within this lineage, click on any item to get an overview of its documentation, relations to other assets, as well as its metadata to obtain a 360° view of your catalog items.


Build trust with accurate, transparent data
Increase trust in data and ensure accurate reporting through data lineage. Make more informed business decisions and ensure quality data by identifying how a data asset was created and where it came from to verify how accurate, complete, and trustworthy it is.
Ensure compliance through powerful traceability capabilities
Whether you are subject to the GDPR, BCBS 239, ISO IDMP, or another regulation, Actian Data Intelligence Platform provides powerful traceability capabilities for your compliance reports. Our platform enables users to enrich their assets’ documentation to ensure the information is always accurate. Create mandatory and custom properties in your templates to match your regulatory context to always stay compliant and view them directly in the lineage graph.


Get lineage information at the field level
Our lineage capabilities go beyond traditional tracking by tracing the journey of individual fields from source to destination, offering a comprehensive view of how each asset transforms and evolves throughout the data pipeline. By viewing your information at field level, enable your data teams to work with reliable, accurate, and trustworthy data assets.

FAQ
Actian Data Intelligence Platform eliminates manual lineage tracing through automated discovery and mapping. The platform uses metadata to automatically track data transformations across your entire ecosystem, from source systems to downstream applications, creating comprehensive lineage graphs from various data sources without requiring manual intervention.
Actian captures relationships between databases, applications, ETL processes, and reports, enabling your team to focus on strategic data architecture decisions rather than tedious documentation tasks.
Actian provides field-level lineage visibility for visualization tools (such as Power BI & Tableau) that trace individual data elements through complex transformations. The platform tracks how specific columns, attributes, and data points flow from source tables to target destinations.
Actian displays these relationships through interactive visualization, allowing you to click on any field and instantly see its complete transformation journey. This granular tracking enables precise impact analysis when schema changes occur, helping data engineers quickly identify which downstream systems will be affected by upstream modifications.
Actian’s interactive lineage graph provides a visual, user-friendly interface that allows users to easily navigate through their data’s lifecycle. Unlike traditional lineage tools that present static documentation, our interactive graph enables users to click on any time to get a comprehensive 360° view, including documentation, relationships to other assets, and detailed metadata.
The visual representation makes complex data transformations easy to interpret and understand, while the interactive nature allows for dynamic exploration of data relationships. This approach transforms data lineage from a technical documentation exercise into a user-friendly tool accessible to both technical and business users across the organization.
A data lineage graph delivers significant business value through:
- Improved Data Trust: Organizations gain visibility into data transformations, enabling them to verify accuracy, completeness, and trustworthiness before making critical decisions.
- Enhanced Decision-Making Capabilities: Teams understand data relationships and can identify potential issues before they impact business operations.
- Reduced Operational Risks: Enhanced context and transparency help maintain confidence in data-driven insights across your organization.
Lineage tracking empowers teams to understand the relationships between data, identify potential issues before they impact business operations, and maintain confidence in data-driven insights across the organization.
