About OvalEdge

OvalEdge is a modern data governance and catalog platform that serves as a central hub for managing enterprise data. It connects to various data sources across an organization, allowing users to discover, catalog, govern, and leverage data effectively.

OvalEdge’s agentic workflows shrink data governance cycles from years to weeks, restoring trust and compliance while enabling business users to rapidly build and run analytics and AI models, safely and at scale.

Core Capabilities of OvalEdge

1. Data Cataloging

OvalEdge builds a centralized data catalog by crawling and profiling metadata from connected systems:

• Crawling: Discovers metadata elements such as tables, views, columns, stored procedures, functions, and their source code.

• Profiling: Analyzes structures to extract row and column counts, sample data, and statistical information (e.g., minimum/maximum values, null counts, distinct values).

2. Data Governance

OvalEdge supports governance initiatives with the following features:

• Data Literacy: Enables classification, domain assignment, category mapping, and glossary creation. APIs allow for managing glossary terms and linking them to data objects.

• Data Quality: Provides a lifecycle for creating and managing data quality rules, identifying issues, and ensuring resolution. Includes built-in functions, tooltips, and help center guidance.

• Privacy Compliance: Supports privacy classification and management of Records of Processing Activities (ROPA).

3. askEdgi

askEdgi is a conversational AI assistant within the OvalEdge platform that enables users to discover data, perform analysis, and generate insights using natural language while maintaining governance and security controls.

• Contextual Discovery: Searches catalog metadata, glossary, lineage, and governance information with enterprise context awareness.

• AI-Driven Analysis: Executes joins, aggregations, and visualizations directly in the workspace without SQL, following deterministic validation.

• RAG-Based Intelligence: Uses business definitions and dataset relationships to ensure accurate, trusted results.

• Intelligent Execution: Optimizes performance by running queries either in the workspace or directly on source systems when appropriate.

• AI Enrichment: Provides built-in functions such as calculated columns, sentiment, intent, emotion, classification, and proofreading.

• Recipes and Automation: Captures workflows into reusable recipes and supports operational actions from analysis outputs.

• Secure and Governed: Enforces role-based access, governance policies, and deployment flexibility across Public, SaaS, and On-Prem environments.

4. Data Products

Data Products integration enables curated, subscription-based datasets to be delivered directly into the askEdgi workspace for discovery, exploration, and analysis. Subscribed Data Products appear as organized folders within the workspace while continuing to follow governance, storage, and access controls defined by the platform.

• Curated Data Delivery: Provides access to trusted, governed datasets through Data Product subscriptions directly inside the workspace.

• Workspace Integration: Displays Data Products as structured folders, enabling users to manage and analyze curated data alongside other workspace objects.

• Governance and Access Control: Maintains existing permissions, storage rules, and governance policies while allowing analysis within askEdgi.

5. Data Discovery

Users can discover data through global search, tag-based navigation, and guided exploration tools.

6. Data Lineage

Supports both automatic and manual lineage creation, allowing users to trace data flow and perform impact analysis.

7. Access Management

Manages access to data, metadata, and application-level assets through robust security controls for users, roles, and objects.
