What's Data Lineage?
Data Lineage explains how data moves from one place to another, and what happens to it as it moves. It allows you to follow your data as it flows through systems, processes and teams, from producer to consumer.
Why Ortecha?
We know how complex Data Lineage can get: data landscapes with dozens of departments and hundreds of systems can result in thousands of data flows. It’s a huge task that can be difficult to manage, but it’s worth getting it right.

CASE STUDY
Solidatus at a Big 4 UK Bank
The Challenge
A Big 4 UK Bank had decided to implement a new General Ledger fed by strategic accounting data feeds.
However, a disparate team of Business Analysts working at speed and in parallel were having to use spreadsheets to define the feeds, and the formats were starting to diverge.
It was complex and time-consuming to look across the strategic feeds to verify consistency and alignment to the original business requirements, and they realised they needed a better approach.
