Data Governance Tool

The UNJSPF OIM is seeking information from qualified vendors for an enterprise data governance solution to support a hybrid data environment comprising Microsoft 365, on premises Microsoft SQL Server, externally hosted data sources (including an S&P Global managed data warehouse (AWS based with restricted scanning access), and a planned cloud data platform deployment (e.g. Snowflake or equivalent). The objective is to establish a centralized and authoritative capability for data cataloging, metadata management, data lineage, supporting improved transparency, accountability, regulatory compliance, and enablement of analytics and AI use cases. The solution is expected to function as a system of record for data governance rather than a data processing or storage platform, and to integrate with existing platform native security, access control, and data management tools. The organization is particularly interested in solutions that support hybrid and federated governance models, allow for logical or manual metadata and lineage documentation where direct technical scanning is not feasible, and can evolve alongside future cloud and analytics initiatives. Functional requirements -Ability to provide a centralized data catalog covering structured and semi-structured data assets, including technical metadata and business metadata. -Support for a business glossary, including definitions, ownership, stewardship, and domain classification. -Capability to capture and visualize end-to-end data lineage, including table-level and, where available, column-level lineage. -Support for logical and manually maintained lineage to document data flows from externally hosted or restricted systems that cannot be directly scanned. -Ability to define, manage, and associate data governance policies and standards (e.g. data classification, usage constraints, retention principles) with data assets. -Support for metadata tagging/labelling, including business, sensitivity, regulatory, or usage relat
