Three pillars of active governance

Catalog + XKG + enforcement. Together.

Most governance tools describe the data estate after the fact. EDG enforces policies at the infrastructure level in real time.

UC

Unified Asset Catalog

A single view of the enterprise data estate. Combines Business Glossary, Data Catalog, Model Registry, and Semantic Store — with versioning and ownership.

  • Business definitions, owners, approval workflows
  • Terms and policies mapped to certified tables and columns
  • Lineage shows where data came from and where it went
XK

XKG — Cross-Application Knowledge Graph (Preview)

One enterprise master above your applications: golden records and certified business terms, AI-discovered across your application knowledge graphs and curated by your stewards.

  • Provenance on every value — AI-suggested or human-confirmed
  • A trust dial: auto-confirm the confident, review the rest
  • The same vendor, customer, or material — resolved once, governed everywhere
  • Learns with use — confirmations and corrections compound in the graph
FG

Federated Governance

Policy execution and enforcement where the data lives — across platforms, Solix and non-Solix, cloud and on-premises, with no requirement to move data into a proprietary platform first.

  • Retention enforced in real time
  • Masking applied at access
  • Legal holds prevent destructive operations
  • Every governance action is auditable
How EDG works

Define → Bind → Enforce → Prove.

Definitions in the Unified Catalog

Business definitions, owners, approval workflows, scope.

Terms and policies mapped

Terms and policies mapped

Linked to certified tables, columns, data assets across platforms.

Real-time enforcement

Real-time enforcement

Retention, masking, legal holds applied at the infrastructure level — before violations occur.

Immutable audit trail

Immutable audit trail

Every governance action produces an audit record. Lineage shows where data came from and where it went.

Governance that builds

Governance that builds (Preview)

The governance you approve is the build spec: from the curated XKG, EDG generates governed data products — target models, mappings, pipelines — on the platform of your choice. When governance changes, the build regenerates without overwriting your engineers’ work. Govern first. Then press go.

EDG + CDP

Governance that extends to preserved data.

Federated Governance and Governance Enforcement — previously part of Common Data Platform — are now core EDG capabilities. Policies defined in EDG extend seamlessly to data managed by CDP: preserved application data, archived records, migrated environments are governed by the same policy model as active production data.

Federated governance

Govern the data where it lives.

Much of the enterprise estate now sits as dark data in low-cost object storage — and it makes no economic sense to pick up petabytes just to govern them. Seeing that data in place is table stakes. EDG governs it in place: classification, retention, legal hold, and defensible disposal enforced where the data lives, across clouds, under one policy model. Governance shouldn't cost more than the data is worth.

Use cases

Where EDG delivers.

1

Regulatory Compliance & Audit

Define retention and legal holds once; enforce across every platform.

2

AI Governance & Trust

EDG governs the semantic layer that grounds AI. Business definitions certified; AI answers traceable.

3

ROT Elimination

Scan the estate to identify Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial data. Defensible disposal funds the governance program.

4

Cross-Platform Privacy

Privacy controls, masking, residency policies across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid.

What makes EDG different

Four reasons it stands apart.

1

Enforce, not just catalog

Most governance tools describe the estate after the fact. EDG embeds policies into infrastructure.

2

Federated across platforms

One policy model reaches Solix and non-Solix environments. No rip-and-replace required.

3

Self-funding through ROT

Savings from defensible disposal fund the broader governance program from day one.

4

Governance that powers AI

EDG provides the semantic layer and access controls that make EAI services trustworthy.
