Hi everyone!
As part of our latest release, we’re thrilled to introduce Ataccama Lineage 🎉 —our native data lineage solution that lets you explore every step of your data’s journey, from creation to consumption, ensuring transparency, trust, and compliance.
Why is it important?
Ataccama Lineage brings integrated and automated lineage scanners to your Ataccama ONE.
It helps you scan metadata across data sources, ETL jobs, and data destinations to visualize the entire data pipeline, including all dependencies and transformations without the need to do manual investigations of table dependencies, data issues and lineage tracking.
Our advanced AI capabilities enable automated anomaly detection, data classification, and data quality assessment, helping you to track data quality scores, monitor key business terms and identify data issues like unexpected values, missing records, or duplicates caused by transformation errors or process failures.
With Ataccama Lineage, you can now:
- Troubleshoot & build trust – Trace data back to its source and resolve issues faster with end-to-end visibility of data flows.
- Ensure reporting & compliance – Easily locate and track PII to ensure regulatory compliance with data protection policies.
- Drive data modernization – Plan and execute digital transformations with insights into legacy data flows, transformations, and dependencies.
Who is for and why?
Lineage is here for and not limited to any data steward, analyst, engineer and data protection officers to:
- Gain a comprehensive overview of data quality throughout the data pipeline and quickly identify where a data quality issue has occurred. You can then initiate solutions to address the problem in specific transformations.
- Facilitate data modernization, enabling your teams to scan datasets in their legacy environment, detect dependencies, and identify redundant and critical datasets to streamline the migration process.
- Validate the accuracy of reported data, because you can now clearly see from which sources it comes.
- Transparently demonstrate how sensitive data are handled and show the origin of data in reports to auditors.
What to expect?
🔹 Native visualization in Ataccama ONE
🔹 Augmented insights from the knowledge graph
🔹 Upstream & downstream analysis to understand data impact
🔹 Data quality & anomaly overlays for instant insights using filters
🔹 Data classification overlay - Use built-in data classification to locate attributes linked to specific business terms (e.g., email, phone, PII)
🔹 Simplified view for business users & detailed view for data engineers
How to get started?
1️⃣ Create a scan plan – Define a JSON file containing connection and scanning details for each data source.
2️⃣ Run the scan – Execute the scan and wait for it to complete.
3️⃣ Import the scan results – Launch the lineage import wizard, and there it is! Your lineage is ready.
