Dataedo

Dataedo is a data governance platform that began as a documentation tool for databases. A team of software and database developers with long experience of SQL Server and Oracle built it after repeatedly finding projects short of proper documentation.

What Dataedo offers

• Data catalogue — a central store of metadata where users document and annotate their data.
• Data quality — ready-made rules or custom SQL rules, scheduled checks and a dashboard.
• Data lineage — tracks where data comes from and how it moves, down to column level.
• Data governance — ownership, role management and identification of key data assets.
• Connectors — native links to databases, ETL tools, BI tools, data lakes and applications.
• AI readiness — cataloguing, semantic mapping and discovery of personal data.

Who it works with

Mid-size organisations starting out with data governance, including data engineers and business analysts.

Key facts
