Solutions/Data Governance
Stop postponing decisions because no clear owner is defined.
dScribe connects owners, reviews, audit history and labels to the reports, datasets and business terms they govern, so responsibilities stay clear and changes stay traceable.
Named ownership, explicit policy and a record of every approval.
- Policies and definitions live in documents. The catalog links them to the reports, datasets and terms they actually describe.
- Ownership sits in inboxes and memory. The catalog surfaces the accountable owner next to every asset, even when people change roles.
- Decisions and reviews are scattered. The catalog keeps the full history attached to the asset, ready for audit or follow-up.
How it works
A governance decision stays attached to the asset.
Assign an accountable owner, route a proposed change for approval and preserve the resulting decision as part of the asset's audit history.
How dScribe helps
Put governance into day-to-day operation.
Give every governed asset a named accountable owner.
Responsibilities stay visible when questions, access requests or policy reviews need a decision.
Connect policies to the data they govern.
Teams can see what applies, who approved it and when it needs review instead of relying on a detached document.
Keep decisions and changes ready for audit.
Suggestions, approvals and review history remain attached to the governed object as a traceable record.
See what a change affects before it moves downstream.
Trace relationships from source systems to datasets, reports and business terms for impact analysis and accountability.
Connected lineage
See the path before you approve the change.
dScribe connects source systems, datasets, columns, governed definitions and reports. That path shows what a proposed change can affect, which policy applies and who needs to review it.
- Open any governed asset to see its owner, domain, applicable policy and current review status.
- Track governance coverage across reports and datasets, including what is documented, assigned and still waiting for action.
- Route proposed changes to the accountable owner and preserve the approval history after the decision is made.
What it's worth
What changes when governance is visible and traceable.
“Our users can access all relevant documentation right within SAC through the dScribe plug-in. The data catalog application makes it feasible for users, in a very user friendly way, to find and interpret reports and KPIs.”
The BMT example shows one way governed documentation can be surfaced inside a BI tool. Governance workflows, ownership and audit history live across the wider platform. See the full platform →

A short conversation about ownership, policies, lineage and audit readiness.
What people usually ask at this point.
How does dScribe make ownership operational?
Every governed asset has a named accountable owner. Questions, proposed changes and policy reviews follow that ownership, while the decision and approval history stay attached to the asset.
What happens when an owner changes role or leaves?
Ownership is visible and managed centrally, so responsibility can be reassigned without losing the asset's policies, review history or open decisions.
What can we see in lineage?
Lineage connects source systems, datasets, columns, business terms and reports. Teams can see where an asset came from, what depends on it and who is accountable before approving a change.
