Abstract: Attend this session to understand how data lineage is helping companies to:
• Decipher complex algorithms in systems that supply data to the “data lake”
• Increase trust in data for analysts and data citizens/scientists
• Manage the impact of application changes on downstream analytic systems
• Simplify the consumption and understanding of data flow throughout the enterprise
Learn through various use cases how companies are taking advantage of lineage to realize these benefits.
