ZDLC: Layered lineage report across technologies

As technology moves from being an enabler to become the lifeblood of businesses in the digital era, so does the data used to support the implementation of these technological shifts. In order for the data to be an asset and not a liability, it is primordial to ensure that the data captured and maintained over time is accurate, traceable, reliable and current. However, very often, in order to complete a business function the data from one system may be exported to another system or to a third party tool, which also changes the data. In order to keep track of the data and maximize the use and analysis of data, the Zero Deviation Life Cycle (ZDLC) framework proposes a series of tools to which can trace the data lineage, across several database technologies.
