Data Steward's steward
In a context where data represents one of the most strategic resources for growth and innovation, the role of the Data Steward assumes central importance. He is the guardian of the company's information assets, the one who guarantees the quality, consistency and accessibility of the data. But not only that: it is a real enabler of data-driven transformation, capable of transforming raw data into high-value insights for the business.
To optimize and make its work more efficient, Target Reply has worked on the Data Steward Assistant, a virtual assistant designed to support those who are responsible for governing, making accessible and valuing company data every day.
The Data Steward Assistant is designed to meet the needs of different users, offering a tailored experience for both business and governance teams. A single tool, two modes of use, a single objective: to make data more accessible, understandable and usable.
For Business Users, the assistant represents an immediate and intuitive point of access to business information. Even without technical skills, it is possible to query the data catalog in natural language, explore data distributed across multiple systems or formats, and obtain clear, contextualized answers based on company information.
For the Data Governance Team, the tool becomes a productivity accelerator. It allows you to quickly retrieve critical information — such as data ownership, recent changes, the presence of sensitive data or lineage tracing — without having to write SQL queries or manually navigate complex systems.
Designed for business users, this version of the Data Steward Assistant simplifies access and understanding of corporate information assets, even without technical skills.
It answers questions in natural language about data warehouse fields, offering clear and semantic descriptions to facilitate the reading and interpretation of the data.
It allows to compare fields and tables from different systems, highlighting matches and discrepancies useful for integration or migration activities.
It allows to quickly consult frequently asked questions and communications related to systems, such as changes, updates or dismissals.
It helps to recover similar requests already handled in the past or, in the absence of adequate feedback, automatically generates a new ticket to facilitate support.
Ideal for governance and IT teams, this version enables advanced control over data quality, compliance, and traceability.
It facilitates the identification of the owners of reports and key objects, supporting the review of accesses and the updating of the glossary.
It analyzes metadata to automatically detect sensitive fields according to the GDPR, suggesting data masking actions where necessary.
It identifies technical (e.g. format) and semantic anomalies (e.g. completeness or consistency of the content), highlighting any critical issues.
It tracks the data lifecycle between systems and processes, providing a comprehensive view of dependencies and impacts.
Update
It detects and document changes to metadata, indicating who made the update, the reason, and the operating context.
