Octopai for the Finance Industry

We make “Trust Me” easy to say.

In the financial sector, trust and reliability are everything

A financial institution’s credibility – and legal responsibility – rides on its ability to provide a clear, unambiguous financial snapshot, with the facts to back it up. There’s no wiggle room or flexibility - you can only confidently produce a report by first verifying your data’s pedigree: its source and subsequent journey.

The Challenges

What’s behind that report?

Your Data team has three primary wide-ranging responsibilities:

Deliver ironclad financial reports with which management can make business decisions.
Collect, filter, and organize financial data, and deliver a result that encapsulates – and essentially hides – the complexity behind it.
Determine that back office data’s lineage to confidently assert that it’s accurate: As data arrives, updates, and is replaced – all the while flowing through multiple systems – this complicated, dynamic stream of metadata is virtually impossible to track manually through a matrix of code and database definitions.

Whether the “answer” provided by the team is about valuations of stocks and bonds, negotiable investment securities, credit card portfolios, goodwill, insurance liabilities, intellectual property, or intangible assets – that answer simply assumes the data is sourced and accurate. And that’s often a problematic assumption to make.

Are you really going to change that?

With each update to application code or database structure, you risk triggering an unintended “Butterfly Effect” of errors and miscalculations. The implications go way beyond embarrassment and frustration; when specific regulations require strict adherence to data management, failure to conduct airtight impact analysis can be disastrous. Until you can identify the source of your data, track its integration into other content, and understand what transformations followed, those changes should worry even the most confident data expert.

The Deep Dive to Data Flows

Octopai’s metadata analysis captures the three types of lineage you need to truly understand, and then discuss, your data:

Cross-System Lineage

Provides end-to-end lineage at the system level from the entry point into the data landscape, all the way to reporting and analytics.

End-to-End Column Lineage

View column to column-level lineage between systems from the entry point into the data landscape, all the way through to reporting and analytics.

Inner-System Lineage

Details the column-level lineage within an ETL process, report, or database object.

An Automated, Three-pronged Approach to Reliability

After an effortless, no-professional services installation, Our cloud-based, autonomous platform tracks metadata across systems. It tracks each step of the data life cycle, mapping out its journey from entry point to current utilization.
