Assessment and Strategy Development
Conduct an audit of your current data landscape. Identify business objectives for data governance and discovery. Develop a tailored strategy for implementing a Snowflake Data Catalogue.
Metadata Collection and Organization
Define the scope and structure of the data catalogue. Automate metadata collection and classification across datasets. Ensure that business, technical, and operational metadata is captured for clarity and context.
Data Classification and Governance
Implement data classification frameworks that align with your organization's governance policies. Enable sensitive data tagging for security and compliance. Set up role-based access control to safeguard data visibility.
Data Lineage and Contextualization
Establish a data lineage to track the origin, flow, and transformation of data. Provide context for data assets, making them easier to understand for different user personas. Visualize how data moves across the Snowflake platform and connected systems.
Data Discovery Enablement
Implement self-service data discovery tools within Snowflake to empower users. Create user-friendly interfaces for searching, accessing, and understanding data assets. Enable advanced search capabilities based on metadata, lineage, and usage patterns.
Collaboration and Documentation
Set up collaboration features to allow users to annotate, document, and share data assets. Enable seamless collaboration between data stewards, analysts, and business teams. Ensure all data assets are well-documented and accessible with clear definitions and use cases.
Ongoing Monitoring and Optimization
Implement monitoring systems to track data usage and performance. Continuously improve data governance processes based on insights from usage metrics. Ensure ongoing optimization and expansion of the Snowflake Data Catalogue as your data ecosystem evolves.
