See your data’s true journey
We use data lineage to help you decode how your data really flows, so it's reliable and easy to act on.
- Know where your data’s been & where it’s going
- Spend less time untangling data
- Find answers, not issues
What's Data Lineage?
Data lineage shows where your data starts, how it moves, what changes along the way and who uses it. When that picture is clear, teams can trace issues faster, rebuild trust in the data and make confident decisions that actually stick.
With proper lineage, we help you turn complex, hidden data flows into simple, visual stories that bring clarity and control to everyone who needs them – from business users to technical teams.
Why does it matter?
If you can’t see how your data moves, you can’t trust it. And when people don’t trust data, they don’t use it.
Without trusted lineage, even good data becomes hard work. You waste time chasing the right source, duplicating effort or fixing the same quality issues over and over.
With a clear view, you can:
- Track critical data across systems, processes and teams
- See exactly how data’s transformed and by whom
- Focus controls and governance where they actually matter
- Trace transformations and calculations end-to-end
- Fix issues faster with confident root-cause analysis
- Save time, reduce risk and build trust across teams
No doubt I have real experts working with my team… passionate about Data Management.

How we can help
Connecting the dots on ESG data
A client project we’re proud of.
A global luxury brand cut the effort and risk in producing its Climate Report and found smarter ways to track progress year-round.
For years, the company’s ESG team spent weeks pulling data from 450 sites and multiple supply chains to produce an annual Climate Report. The process was slow, manual, and prone to error — leaving no way to monitor progress mid-year. We used Solidatus to map, streamline and automate the data lineage behind the report, giving them visibility and control from source to summary.
The impact:
- Less manual effort, more momentum: Automated 68% of the Climate Report’s data flows.
- Cleaner, simpler ecosystem: Reduced the number of applications feeding the report.
- Clarity on every data point: Made it easy to see where data came from — and where automation could go next.
Why choose Ortecha?
We’ve seen it all — thousands of flows, hundreds of systems — and make it simple.
Working with us means you get:
- Real-world experience: We’re practitioners, not theorists. We’ve solved lineage challenges across complex global environments
- Fast value: We focus on what matters most first, so you see results quickly
- Right detail, right audience: We help your teams document lineage at the level that makes sense — useful, not overwhelming
- Smart automation: We reduce manual effort, so lineage stays accurate and alive
- Deep tool expertise: Whether you use Solidatus, Ab Initio, or any other tool, we’ll help you get the best from it
Questions we get asked the most
Not at all. We’re tool-agnostic. We’ll define your operating approach first, then help you get more from whatever lineage tools you already have or recommend new ones that fit.
The level of detail should match your goals. We help you set the right level by domain, so it answers business questions without becoming a maintenance burden.
Yes, you can! We prioritise automation wherever it adds value and fill the gaps with targeted manual mapping. That way, you get reliable coverage without wasted effort.
Most clients see early benefits when we start with a focused domain or critical report, then scale.
