Data is hard to find
Nobody knows what data exists or where to look for it.
Catalog, map, and understand your enterprise data.
Know what data you have and where it comes from
Your organization has data everywhere, but can anyone find it? erwin Data Intelligence creates a catalog of your data assets with lineage, quality metrics, and business context so people can actually find and trust the data they need.
Recognizable problems
A scenario you might recognize
Your organization has data in databases, data warehouses, cloud platforms, and spreadsheets. Nobody knows exactly what exists. Finding the right data for a project takes weeks. Trust in data is low because provenance is unclear.
Unknown lineage
You cannot explain where data comes from or what affects it.
Hidden sensitive data
PII and regulated data may exist in places you do not know about.
Business-IT disconnect
Business terms and technical data elements are not connected.
Current state vs. target state
See what changes when you implement the product with structured support.

1
Building a data catalog
People cannot find the data they need or trust the data they find.
Searchable catalog with business context makes data discoverable and understandable.
We design your catalog structure, configure discovery, and establish curation practices.
2
Understanding data lineage
You cannot explain where reports get their data or what changes will affect.
End-to-end lineage shows data flow from source to consumption.
We configure lineage scanning and help you build impact analysis workflows.
3
Identifying sensitive data
You do not know where PII and other sensitive data lives across systems.
Automated classification identifies sensitive data across your landscape.
We configure classification rules and help you build remediation processes.
4
Enabling self-service
Business users depend on IT to find and explain data.
Business glossary and search enable users to find and understand data themselves.
We design the user experience and train business users on self-service.
