Data Lineage accelerates business efficiency
Knowing the journey your data takes from its creation through all its transformations is not only often a regulatory necessity, but also accelerates impact assessments and analytical tasks. But data lineage is not restricted to technical aspects. The linkage of glossaries or business data models to its technical assets enables business users to quickly access desired information and provides a holistic business view on the data of an organization and its relation to business processes.
What is data lineage?
At Simplity we recognize two types of data lineage. First, business lineage or traceability, enables business users to discover business objects in the various places of technical architecture. It provides the ability to assess and visualize which data and systems are involved in business processes.
Technical lineage on the other hand describes how data flows through the various layers of the architecture of your organization from the source systems to the final reports. It is a collection of metadata that shows what kind of operations and transformations are performed during the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes.
Accurity helps you to visualize and maintain the relations between business processes and your data assets by linking them to your Business Glossary. This allows full business lineage and thorough and quick impact assessments.

What our customers say
Thanks to the awareness Accurity helps spread about data quality, we no longer encounter the data quality issues that we fixed in the past. Data quality rules have become enshrined in the data entry process. I firmly believe that if we had rules over all our data, there would be no bad data quality in our reporting whatsoever.
