Enterprise Data Governance
icaria Data Governance documents the data model of your applications and keeps it up to date, so you know what data you have, where it lives and how it relates.
The problem
In a large organisation, the same customer, contract or product can be represented in many systems, each with its own structure and its own copy of the data. Understanding those relationships is key to migrations, new developments, privacy processes and data quality and governance initiatives.
How it works
icaria Data Governance synchronises the structures of your applications, records their changes, classifies their fields and assesses data quality and integrity across systems.
Reads the metamodel directly from the applications and records tables, fields, relationships, keys and indexes.
Compares each synchronisation with the reference and across production, test and development environments.
Organises the fields of interest, identifies sensitive data and measures quality by field and by concept.
Checks whether different applications hold consistent values for the same business concept.
Data discovery
icaria Data Governance registers each application with its environments and submodels and synchronises its metamodel directly from the database.
Metamodel management
The first synchronisation is kept as the reference snapshot. From there, icaria Data Governance compares later changes and checks the instances of an application against each other across environments.
Data maps
icaria Data Governance gathers the fields of interest of each application in data maps, with their format, master location and approval status.
Data quality · Information roles
icaria Data Governance validates each field and groups into information roles the fields that represent the same business concept in different tables or applications.
Cross-application integrity
When different applications hold the same concept in different structures, icaria Data Governance transforms each value to a reference metamodel and applies comparison rules.
Data office
Start from an inventory built from the applications themselves and connect the glossary, the models and the integrity defects.
Data architecture
Detect model changes, control promotion between environments and define common references to compare applications.
Privacy and quality
Locate personal data and measure quality by field and by business concept.
Adoption and evolution
Adopt the platform at your own pace, speed up its rollout and adapt it to your processes without blocking its evolution.
A clear, scalable pricing model. Licences by capability and size, so investment matches the scope and volume you need at each stage.
Less effort to get started. icaria uses AI to speed up the initial analysis of metamodels and part of the configuration, shortening the path to stable operation.
Extend the platform beyond its standard capabilities. Its low-code engine lets you add specific logic, integrations and processes while keeping the core separate and compatible with future versions.
Supports SQL and NoSQL databases, enterprise applications through native integrations, and other systems through a REST API.
Records and keeps up to date data structures, their relationships and sensitive fields, to support governance across the lifecycle.
Define access by role and responsibility, log configuration changes, publish controlled versions and organise work with tags.
On-premise, cloud or hybrid, with LDAP/SSO, role-based permissions and privacy by design.
