01 / Data management & governance
Metadata, data catalog & lineage
An enterprise catalog with a business glossary, automated scanning, end-to-end lineage and impact analysis, so people find, understand and trust data.
Why it matters
A catalog is only valuable when it is populated, curated and used. Jadara implements enterprise data catalogs that scan databases, files, integration and BI tools automatically, connect technical assets to business terms, and expose lineage from source to report. Stewardship workflows keep definitions current, and lineage turns change-impact questions from weeks of investigation into a query.
What you get
Outcomes that outlast the engagement.
A curated catalog with coverage reports per system
An approved business glossary linked to physical assets
Visual end-to-end lineage and impact analysis
Classification and sensitivity tags that feed governance and privacy

Scope, deliverables and acceptance criteria are defined for each engagement.
How we work
From the first session to the final handover.
Context: linking an asset to its meaning and source
Prepare
We share prerequisites, define the systems in scope and gather the documents that help with classification.
Ingest
We configure the platform, connect sources and run automated scans, and lineage for the selected systems appears.
Curate
We review classification, build the glossary and link terms to assets with the stewards.
Review & adopt
We walk through lineage and impact cases, confirm the results with the organization and embed the catalog in daily governance procedures.
Common questions
A little more clarity.
Which sources can be scanned?
Relational and non-relational databases, files and cloud storage, integration tools, BI platforms and streaming services; coverage varies by platform and is confirmed when the scope is surveyed.
How is the glossary kept alive?
With clear approval workflows, an owner for every term and periodic reviews tied to changes in systems and data.
Does lineage work for custom code?
Largely, yes; modern platforms extract lineage from integration tools, stored procedures and scripts, and we complete the remainder with documented lineage where needed.
