Most of us are familiar with Google Maps, which shows the path to our destination with specific and timely directions from start to finish. Layers provide additional information like points of interest and traffic details such as construction or traffic volume ahead of time, which can help change our route and save time. The user experience makes it easy for anyone to use.

In this session, you’ll: 

  • Learn how Alation Business Lineage feels like Google Maps but for data. 

  • See how Alation Business Lineage provides a "birds-eye view" of data flows, enabling everyone to grasp the whole picture and adjust their behavior accordingly. 

  • Understand how metadata layers allow users to seamlessly review potential issues with data that could affect their data journey downstream.

  • See all the new metadata layers in action, including data health, policy information, and business metadata like data classification.

Learn how our visual experience streamlines data analysis, increases trust through transparency, and improves data governance for everyone.
