Data lineage tracks how data flows through an enterprise by identifying where data comes from, where it goes, and what happens along the way. It can be difficult to achieve due to differences between business and technical views of data, scope, level of detail needed, and changes within a company over time from mergers, migrations, and high rates of change. Data lineage use cases include governance and regulatory compliance by meeting commitments faster with less manual effort, accurately defining governance initiatives, and exposing previously unknown privacy exposures. MANTA software documents lineage by analyzing SQL, ETL and BI code to visualize lineage maps or integrate with third-party governance solutions.
