IBM Manta Data Lineage

Optimized efficiency starts with trusted data

IBM Manta Data Lineage provides complete visibility into your data flows through automated lineage mapping. By identifying potential risks and supporting compliance, data lineage gives you control over your data ecosystem, enabling you to adopt AI responsibly and maintain data integrity across all systems.

What is Data Lineage?

IDC report: Trust data and AI with modern data lineage

Automate scanning and mapping of data flows

Reduce manual effort and significantly decrease time spent on impact analysis by automating the process of collecting existing data elements and illustrating their interconnections across the data ecosystem.

Boost in Data Ops productivity

Enhances Data Ops productivity and efficiency by leveraging metadata and the history of its changes. Eliminate common lineage errors by using a code-based approach, ensuring accuracy and reliability over manual processes.

Empower robust data lineage visualizations

Visualize complex data flows with detailed, step-by-step analysis, including color-coding, dynamic filtering, and historical lineage at the column level. Handle large data volumes and intricate transformations, ensuring scalability and granularity in large-scale tech environments.

Leverage 50+ technologies and environments

Harness over 50 technologies, programming languages, databases, and modeling tools to provide flexibility and adaptability. Drive integration across hybrid and multicloud environments, future-proof your data processes, and enhance metadata management.

Four simple steps to implement data lineage

From gathering and contextualizing your data to adjusting filters and the level of detail you want to see in your workflow, explore how data lineage works.

Step 1

Harvest lineage

Deploy data lineage’s connectivity module to gather metadata from mission-critical and analytic systems in your hybrid, cloud or on-premises environment. Use the OpenManta framework with APIs to enhance your metadata even for custom-built systems not supported by existing scanners.

Step 2

Contextualize lineage with semantics

Data lineage adds semantics to enrich the attribute-level lineage with indirect data dependencies, transformation logic, evolution over time or external metadata such as profiling information, quality scores, PII labels and more.

Step 3

Tailor lineage to your needs

Adjust the lineage to the level of detail for specific use cases. Search through all the lineage and use intelligent filtering to hide details that are not currently relevant. Create domains and perspectives for specific projects, review historical versions, get notified of and act on changes.

Step 4

Activate lineage

Explore lineage with the native interface and integrate it into your workflows by using open and robust APIs. Improve your data quality, data privacy and data governance processes. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines to boost the productivity of data engineers.

One platform, endless applications

Apply data lineage to any scenario for greater data transparency and accuracy across your operations.
