Accurity features
We’re committed to continuously updating our SaaS product with new features to help you take control of your data. Check out some of the features that you currently get across our solutions including business glossary and data catalog, business data model, data quality monitoring, business process lineage, and reference data management.
Data profiling for Google BigQuery and MongoDB
An update to our data profiling feature specifically to allow users the ability to profile uncommon databases such as the cloud database Google BigQuery and the NoSQL database MongoDB. Included in the Premium or Custom plans of the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution and the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Process diagrams
Get a visual diagram (process map) of data lineage between business processes and the data catalog. Use the perspective of your company’s data that is important to the user e.g., processes, data assets, business terms, entities, or attributes. This feature is an optional add-on for the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution.
Business term relationship diagrams
Get a visualization of traceability that helps you to understand the logic of metric calculation. This diagram, similar to data lineage, presents a tree that looks beyond the relationship of two business terms via a third layer. Included in the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution.
3rd party registration
When signing up for our Accurity SaaS you can now use an account from another online service i.e., Microsoft or Google. This allows you to register for our free trial quickly and without needing to create yet another user account and password to keep track of.
Bulk updates
Save time, and the associated cost, of making changes that will need to be applied to many objects at once. Make bulk updates to any number of objects simultaneously including adding or removing tags, turning on and off notifications, deletion. Over time we plan to extend the range of bulk actions that you can perform.
Data profiling
Allows users to tap into real data from the Data Field level of the Data Catalog and display statistical information (data profile) about them. Use the information gained from this data profile as an inspiration when creating rules for measuring data quality. Included in the Premium or Custom plans of the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution and the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Business model diagrams
A functional, easy-to-use business data model (BDM) diagram viewer integrated directly into the base tool – no need for external software. Generate an interactive and fully adjustable visual diagram. Included in the Premium or Custom plans of the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
3rd party authentication
Accurity now allows users to log in to their instances using either a Microsoft or Google account. (On-premises installations can also connect logins directly to a LDAP server.)
Business term synonyms
Allows users to create synonymous values to business terms without losing the golden truth of the main term. These synonyms are displayed in searches and filters and redirect the user to the main term when selected. This can be particularly useful such as during transitional periods after mergers.
Technical data mappings
Document how data flows between your data sources. It captures data transformations so that you can get an overview of how data moves between parts of your data catalog. It can help you be compliant with regulatory standards that require data transformation tracking. Available as an optional add-on for the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution or the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Business term suggestions
Use our AI technologies to save time and effort by getting automated suggestions of mappings between Business Terms and Data Catalog, which you can accept or reject based on a probability score. Speed up your work for preparing business data lineage with complete control over which lineage connections get created. Included in the Premium or Custom plans of the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Advanced custom properties
Customize Accurity based on whatever data governance methodology you use, with additional custom property types for advanced users: date, numerical code, and the relation between any two object types. You can also set a custom property mandatory and default values for newly created objects. Included in specific plans of the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution or the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
REST API integration and documentation
Enables third-party applications in your company IT ecosystem to connect to Accurity and use Accurity as a single point of truth for managing data, and also, via the API, remotely find, read, modify, or delete elements of Accurity. Included in the Premium or Custom plans of the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution or the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Tagging
Tagging is the ability to assign any object within Accurity a tag, allowing a fully custom layer of categorization and grouping of data by whatever methodology you wish to use. Groups of objects can be displayed regardless of their type. Objects can be sorted by or searched for using these tags.
Process lineage
Process lineage allows you to map business processes and each of their individual process steps onto Data Assets, Entities and Attributes (BDM), and Business Terms. An optional add-on for the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution or the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Business terms
Business terms are the foundation of Business Glossary. These are the basic vocabulary of your company business language and help different company members understand each other.
Business data model
Capture information objects of an organization in a structured way. The resulting business data model holistically describes requirements and data in a company’s specific language by using an Entity-Relationship-Modelling (ERM) based approach. Included in the Professional plan or higher of the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Requirements
Supports data governance processes with the Business Data Model methodology. Data requirements help capture company-wide information objects, which can then be used to define the technical model (data catalog), data quality checks, and technical specifications. Included in the Professional plan or higher of the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution or the Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.
Data assets
Define hierarchal Data Assets and link these to data sets at the highest level of your Data Catalog. Data Assets can be a system or application output file, database, document, or web page, or whatever you want to recognize as a group of data sets.
Multiple data sources
Connect your Oracle, MS SQL, Teradata, PostgreSQL, or Excel databases straight to Business Glossary and create a data structure with its data fields automatically retrieved.
Data catalog
Capture your data catalog parts. Start with data sources (data sets), then move to data structures representing tables, views, or reports in the data sets, and end with data fields as the data catalog elements on the lowest level (columns of the data structures).
Business rules
Create structured Business Rules to bridge relationships between your Business Glossary and Data Catalog and the Data Quality Management solution, by defining data quality rules, top-down, without the need to know the technical specifics of your data sources.
Related reference values
Easily specify reference values for your business terms, including their value descriptions. The related reference values can also be searched via global search.
Relation types
Easily define relation types between business terms using one of six relation types: child/parent of, related to, replaces, calculated from, synonym of, or contains. This enables you to describe how your business terms are related to each other.
Data lineage diagrams
Track and visualize relationships between business model elements and your data catalog.
Export/import via lists
Export all defined objects to a spreadsheet or import objects from an Excel file.
Browser dictionary
With the Browser Dictionary add-on extension, you can scan any web application/page for business terms and instantly see the approved definition as stored in your Business Glossary. Available for Chrome or Edge.
Common features
Version tracking: Compare versions of object details and see what has been changed, removed, or added and who made the changes. Commenting: Comment on objects and cooperate on object definitions with your colleagues. Email notifications: Get email notifications about updates to objects of interest.
