The demand for automated data management has increased dramatically in recent years as data proliferation has accelerated, creating a need for services and solutions that help companies understand their vast data ecosystems. With DataDNA, the insights into what systems do with data, and who is using that data, are derived from metadata. This makes the service much less invasive and the footprint much lighter, so that no intensive system processing is required.

A complete list of DataDNA's features include:
Automated Data Lineage: Understand how data moves across the enterprise, at a column level, based on facts.
Automated Data Usage Analysis: Understand who uses what data, when, and how. This can assist with clean up, decommissioning, PII data analysis, and regulatory compliance.
Data Asset Catalog: Ability to identify the data that is an asset to an organization along with who uses the data - for data monetization purposes, data as a service, etc.
Business Glossary Management: Helps companies build or manage business glossaries by linking the business glossary terms to the physical lineage from which the data arrives.
Subject Area Fingerprinting: Understand the subject areas that are being used in IT environments and support Cloud migration use cases, duplication analysis, and much more.
