Manta-Prolifics Microsoft Purview Connector (MPP)
Today’s hybrid workspaces require data to be accessed from a plethora of devices, apps and services across the globe. Data governance is not easy. You need a methodology and approach and a strategy to get it right. And lineage is just one piece of the major puzzle that is governance.
The Manta-Prolifics Microsoft Purview (MPP) Connector is designed to enhance the data lineage capabilities for Microsoft Purview customers beyond standard features. It’s created for systems where data lineage isn’t automatically captured and empowers users to leverage Manta for automatic collection of lineage information, without the hassle of custom development.
A recent study by Forrester Consulting highlights that only 42% of organizations have the competence to train Gen AI models, while a massive 89% fail at getting business data ready for Gen AI. Moreover, only 23% of the organizations have implemented a governance plan.

Capabilities of MPP Connector
Seamlessly integrating this data into Purview, MPP offers a comprehensive lineage view, enabling better tracing of data journeys across on-premises, multi-cloud, and software as a service (SaaS) data. Rolling out new capabilities help organizations integrate Manta into their own data governance solutions, including Microsoft Purview, so they can make headway in their digital transformation journeys.
• Enhanced Lineage Integration: Integrate Manta’s sophisticated lineage seamlessly into existing Microsoft Purview solutions.
• Comprehensive Governance Initiatives: Enable comprehensive governance initiatives for improved data management and compliance assurance.
• Unified Lineage Capture: Expand across diverse tech types* (e.g., ETL tools, databases, BI platforms) beyond specific systems like IBM DataStage, SSIS, MS SQL, Power BI, and SSAS. Seamlessly integrate lineage from any Manta-supported source for broader insights compared to Purview alone.
• Deeper Lineage Access: Creates a link back to the detailed lineage viewer in Manta, providing Purview users with access to a more comprehensive lineage view compared to what is provided by the Purview UI.

Key Benefits of MPP Connector
The Manata Purview Microsoft connector serves a critical role in integrating Manta’s advanced data lineage capabilities with Microsoft Azure Purview. Here’s how such a connector typically functions and is utilized:
• Data Lineage Integration: Manta specializes in providing comprehensive data lineage solutions. The connector enables Azure Purview users to leverage Manta’s capabilities for tracking and visualizing data lineage across heterogeneous data environments. This includes understanding how data moves through various systems, applications, and processes.
• Comprehensive Visibility: Get full visibility into data assets and lineage relationships, facilitating improved data quality, compliance assurance, impact analysis, and understanding data architectures for cloud migration.
• Streamlined Governance: Facilitate effective governance initiatives for enhanced data management, contributing to reduced costs and risks while promoting regulatory compliance.
• Scalability: Scale data lineage capabilities to meet evolving organizational needs efficiently, enabling enhanced business agility and adaptability to be changing data environments.
• Enhanced Data Governance: By integrating Manta with Azure Purview, organizations can enhance their data governance initiatives. They gain deeper insights into data flows, dependencies, and transformations, which are crucial for regulatory compliance, data quality management, and risk mitigation.
• Unified Data Management: The integration helps in creating a unified view of metadata and lineage information. This unified view is beneficial for data stewards, analysts, and compliance officers who need accurate and timely insights into data lineage to support decision-making and ensure data integrity.
• Automated Lineage Discovery: Manta’s automated lineage discovery capabilities complement Azure Purview’s data discovery functionalities. The connector automates the discovery of data lineage, reducing manual effort and accelerating the process of understanding how data moves through the organization’s IT landscape.

IDC expects worldwide spending on AI solutions will grow to more than $500 billion in 2027. By 2025, Global 2000 (G2000) organizations will allocate over 40% of their core IT spend to AI-related initiatives, leading to a double-digit increase in the rate of product and process innovations.

Overall, the Manta Prolifics Microsoft Purview Connector represents a collaboration aimed at enhancing data governance and management capabilities by integrating advanced data lineage solutions with Microsoft’s cloud-based data governance platform, Azure Purview. This integration helps organizations achieve greater visibility, control, and compliance over their data assets.
