Data Intelligence to Discover, Govern, and Share Data With Ease

For modern enterprises, data is more than a resource—it’s the DNA of informed decision-making and smart innovation. Yet as organizations manage ever-growing data ecosystems, they face a common challenge: How to make trusted, governed data easy to find, access, and share across the enterprise.

The Actian Zeenea Data Intelligence Platform solves this issue by providing a single solution that connects, locates, and democratizes enterprise data. Built on the knowledge graph architecture for easy discovery and navigation, the platform transforms how organizations understand and utilize their data assets.

Easy-to-Use Capabilities for Intuitive Data Discovery

The Actian Zeenea Data Intelligence Platform, powered by a knowledge graph, centralizes and unifies enterprise metadata, serving as a single source of truth for data discovery and governance. By consolidating metadata from all data assets and sources, the platform enables organizations to transform their data landscape into a cohesive, accessible, and trusted ecosystem.

Key features and capabilities of the platform include:

• Making data discoverable. The platform makes relevant data easy to find. Smart searching capabilities—similar to e-commerce website search engines—simplify the process of finding data assets. In addition, a knowledge graph combines flexibility and intuitive user experiences to enhance data discovery and governance, and to deliver greater value to the organization. Teams can find the data they need for their use cases, even if they don’t know the assets they are looking for.
• Elevating data stewardship. The platform’s knowledge graph technology allows users to optimize data discovery with intelligent recommendations and rich search results. These capabilities enhance the context and usability of data, providing structure for data and showing relationships between data assets, which boosts teams’ data knowledge and improves data stewardship.
• Building a business glossary. Data users need a consistent business vocabulary that aligns cross-functional teams. Data literacy is key to departmental collaboration and data sharing. The Actian Zeenea Data Intelligence Platform offers an automated business glossary, enabling organizations to define rules, policies, and criteria that ensure clarity and consistency for data assets.
• Seeing changes with data lineage. The platform’s data lineage capabilities capture data transformations, providing a comprehensive view of data’s lifecycle. This includes tracing data’s usage and storage over time while mapping relationships between systems, applications, and reports. This context-rich perspective helps users understand their data’s journey, enhancing transparency and trust.
• Ensuring data quality and governance. Data teams must be able to view data quality metrics and address issues proactively. Detecting and resolving data quality concerns lead to confidence in the data and support data usage. The Actian Zeenea platform automatically synchronizes with an organization’s data quality solutions, allowing teams to view the quality of their data. Likewise, the platform supports data governance for trusted, compliant, and secure information across the enterprise. Organizations benefit from an active and agile data governance approach.
• Enabling data compliance. Staying compliant with evolving data regulations is critical, especially in highly regulated industries. The platform helps here, too. It automates compliance by identifying, classifying, and managing personal data assets at scale. Using smart recommendations, it detects sensitive information and suggests proper tagging—ensuring data policies are consistently applied and regulatory requirements are met across the organization.
• Utilizing a data marketplace. An enterprise data marketplace serves as a centralized hub where teams can easily access, understand, and utilize ready-to-use data products. By integrating data silos, it transforms data into a shared resource—empowering teams to use a search engine approach to publish, discover, and share governed, high-value data.

Key Benefits of a Data Intelligence Platform

As data environments grow increasingly complex and distributed, organizations need complete visibility and control over their data assets. They also need governance, compliance, and self-service capabilities—and these capabilities must be scalable and available on a single platform.

The Actian Zeenea Data Intelligence Platform meets all of these requirements. Organizations can use the solution to:

• Accelerate data discovery. Quickly find and access relevant data to drive timely insights.
• Meet regulatory compliance. Manage risk, ensure privacy, and comply with data regulations effectively.
• Sustain a data-driven culture. Promote a culture of data literacy and collaboration.
• Optimize data value. Leverage metadata and data assets to extract actionable insights.
• Trust enterprise data. Ensure data reliability through robust governance and quality measures.
• Discover data at any scale. Utilize a federated catalog that’s structured as a single knowledge graph to organize data and optimize search experiences.
• Gain instant value. Realize an immediate return on investment (ROI) by enabling all data teams to find and access the data assets they need.

Support for a Data Mesh Framework

Organizations can support data democratization while also aligning with a data mesh framework that decentralizes data ownership. The Actian Zeenea Data Intelligence Platform embodies the principles of a data mesh, empowering organizations to manage and govern data products at the domain level.

This approach enables organizations to:

• Ensure autonomy for data teams, allowing them to document, curate, and share their own federated catalogs.
• Facilitate seamless sharing of high-value data products with teams, departments, and individuals.
• Support scalability and adaptability for the data ecosystem by integrating data production and data consumption in one platform.

This decentralized model ensures that organizations remain agile, scalable, and future-ready in their ever-evolving data landscape.

Bringing Data Discovery to All Data Users

The Actian Zeenea Data Intelligence Platform is more than a tool. It’s a catalyst for transforming how organizations gain maximum value from their data and reach data’s true potential.

Organizations that are ready to uplevel their data intelligence strategy can take a self-guided tour of the platform to discover how easy it can be to find, trust, and democratize data.
