Unified Data Governance with Microsoft Purview
How Cloudaeon streamlined scattered data to strategic advantage with Purview and Fabric.
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

As organisations embrace Microsoft Fabric to modernise their analytics, they quickly realise that flexibility comes with complexity.
Scattered data across decentralised workspaces makes discovery, ownership, and governance difficult. Lack of unified governance teams lose valuable time troubleshooting metadata and security issues. Also, the true potential of data assets remains untapped.
To address these challenges, Cloudaeon implemented Microsoft Purview. It enabled centralised governance, seamless and secure discovery with scalable access to trusted data.
Challenges
The decentralised data environment presented three core challenges:
Difficulty in data discovery: Due to lack of data catalog users struggled to locate necessary data further slowing down development cycles that limited the value of their data assets.
Lack of ownership and lineage: The organisation found it challenging to track data owners and understand the data lineage journey which made it even hard for troubleshooting issues.
Poor data security and access management: Ensuring consistent data sensitivity access policies across numerous workspaces was difficult. It also posed security risks and operational inefficiency.
Solutions
We implemented Microsoft Purview to create a unified data governance framework.
Automated metadata integration: To automate meta data integration Purview was connected to Fabric workspaces. With the latest metadata management, we set up automated scans to keep the unified data catalog up to date.
Structured data products: Data was organised into logical governance domains within Purview. This made it easy for users to find relevant data.
Enhanced discovery and glossary: We enabled users to search for data products and access a business glossary, providing context and improving self-service analytics.
Streamlined access: We established clear data policies and access management controls, allowing users to discover data and then request access through an automated process.
Impact
Cloudaeon’s solution delivered significant and measurable results:
Improved visibility and efficiency: 70% Increase in data visibility due to centralised data catalog. This accelerated development and reduced time spent on data discovery
Enhanced data security: Improved data security and compliance due to centralised management of data classification and access policies
Strategic advantage: By democratising data access data governance challenge was transformed into a strategic opportunity that provided a scalable foundation for future growth.
Conclusion
Cloudaeon’s solution to integrate Microsoft Purview with Microsoft Fabric, transformed fragmented and ungoverned data to secure and discoverable data ecosystem. Their business leaders were empowered to find the information they quickly need for data-driven decision making.
This transformation from a chaotic data environment to a structured and governed one has improved operational efficiency and enabled the organisation to access the full potential of its data assets for future innovation.
