People Also Ask
What is data lineage tracking?
Data lineage tracking is the process of documenting the complete lifecycle of data from source to target, including all transformations, movements, and dependencies. It provides end-to-end visibility into data flows, enabling impact analysis, compliance reporting, and data governance. AI-powered lineage tracking automates this process with 100% accuracy in 1-2 weeks.
How does AI discover data lineage automatically?
AI scans all data sources, ETL jobs, stored procedures, BI reports, and APIs to automatically discover data flows. It analyzes code and metadata to trace data movements and transformations, building complete end-to-end lineage including column-level detail. The AI validates 100% coverage and automatically updates lineage as systems change.
What is column-level lineage?
Column-level lineage tracks individual field transformations from source to target, showing exactly how each column is derived, calculated, or transformed. This includes data type conversions, aggregations, joins, and business rule applications. AI automatically discovers and documents column-level lineage with 100% accuracy, providing complete transparency into data transformations.
How long does lineage tracking implementation take?
AI-powered lineage tracking typically takes 1-2 weeks: 2-3 days for discovery and scanning, 3-5 days for lineage construction, 1-2 days for visualization and analysis, and 1-2 days for automation and monitoring setup. This is 8-12x faster than manual documentation that takes 2-3 months and often remains incomplete.
Can lineage tracking help with compliance?
Yes, automated lineage tracking is essential for compliance. It provides complete documentation of data flows for GDPR, SOX, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS audits. The AI generates automated compliance reports showing exactly where sensitive data originates, how it's transformed, where it's stored, and who has access. This reduces audit preparation time by 90%.
