With continually increasing streams of data available via the cloud, business users need data accessibility and simplicity for business intelligence. Information provided by a data lifecycle, including how it moves through ETL (extract, transform, load), files, reports, and databases can help a business dig deeper to improve all aspects of product life. Data lineage provides that information and more.

Data Lineage
Data lineage is a map of the data journey, which includes its origin, each stop along the way, and an explanation on how and why the data has moved over time. The data lineage can be documented visually from source to eventual destination — noting stops, deviations, or changes along the way. The process simplifies tracking for operational aspects like day-to-day use and error resolution.

The cloud and the future of data lineage
Is your organization ready to manage data input from the cloud so that you can make more informed decisions in the moment?
Data lineage plays an important role in this rapidly changing system. Tracking data’s origin, and its path through your business, including transformations and targets, is the only way to tackle errors head on, and make governance issues a thing of the past through transparency.
How to get started with data lineage
Data lineage is the perfect place to start to ensure data quality. Though tedious and time consuming, it is a must-have for any business.
- Identify Data Elements: Contact business users to identify critical points for business function.
- Tracking Origin: Track listed elements back to their origin one-by-one.
- Note Sources and Links: Create a spreadsheet to label sources and link elements that can be combined.
- Create a Map: Build maps for each system and a master map of the whole picture.
