It's been two years since the General Data Protection Act (GDPR) was introduced, but organisations still see accountability as a strain on the business. In this Martech Advisor article, Solidatus co-founder Philip Dutton discusses ways to turn compliance into an operational advantage.

On the 28th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) changed the data privacy landscape forever. What most organisations failed to grasp when the regulation came into force, was that GDPR should not have been viewed as a burden or to have been treated as a tick-box exercise. 

 Do you ever get the feeling that the world is coming around to your way of thinking? At Solidatus we have been part of a lot of projects that have spent a lot of money on some really mundane things. For example, I cannot think of anything less sexy than mapping data from one schema to the next only to see someone change something and for the mapping to become useless meaning the whole task needs to be done again – rinse and repeat.

Synechron, Inc, the global financial services consulting and technology services provider, has today announced a partnership with Solidatus, a leading data lineage discovery and visualisation solution. Together, the firms are addressing challenges related to understanding data lineage, governance, and management by delivering powerful visualisation of metadata across end-to-end business processes, including an intuitive and easy to use web interface and customizable filter options.
