Accelerate Data Lineage

EIIG’s boad technology support enables enterprises to establish comprehensive inter-system connectivity and obtain detailed horizontal lineage that tracks the data movement and transformations within each state providing insights into how the data changes as it progresses through the pipeline.

By tying into CI/CD pipelines, EIIG is able to provide near real-time lineage. It provides impact analysis by capturing changes to the underlying applications and calculating the impact in a fully automated (Fire and Forget) manner.

EIIG enables organizations to perform impact analysis in just minutes or seconds by clicking a data point in the data lineage graph.

EIIG shows how changes in data sources, processes, or transformations will impact downstream systems, reports, or analytics. It helps automatically identify dependencies and potential risks.

EIIG also provides vertical/business lineage. It has a rule based mechanism that allows different personas in the enterprise to visualize lineage in a way that they understand. Example personas include: a technical user, a business analyst, an enterprise architect, a Risk officer, a Security Officer… Orion is able to dynamically apply different views on the same base lineage to allow a common thread of communication across the enterprise.

Changes to assets are captured at a very granular level and are rolled up so that different personas in the enterprise understand what has changed,  when it changed, why it changed,  who changed it and the impact of the change. 

EIIG can be used effectively in the devops pipeline to monitor and alert different stakeholders to the impact of the change.  Change capture is also very useful when it comes to answering questions from auditors both internal and external.

EIIG leverages the lineage to propagate business meaning, active metadata (data observability) metrics, and ownership information to the end points. What this means is that one does not need to profile every database or file along the path of the lineage to understand how sensitive data moves, and the impact of bad data quality along the information supply chain.

Enterprises can reduce their need to profile all systems and leverage EIIG’s lineage-based propagation and save a significant amount of time and money. One can truly trust one’s reports by leveraging EIIG’s lineage capabilities.
