Whether you’re replacing an end-of-life data platform or looking to scale your analytics, Data Vault’s modular, incremental approach supports risk-managed migration and delivers value at every step.

Business Impact: From BI Teams to the Wider Organization

Data Vault isn’t just for IT—it enables the whole business to:

• Focus on business outcomes, not just technology

• Integrate data semantically for better analytics

• Provide audit trails, trust, and traceability

• Feed high-quality data to Data Science and self-service users

• Support data marketplaces and catalogs for reusability and sharing

This means fewer data “gaps,” better decisions, and less friction across teams.

Automation and Partnership: erwin, Quest, and Snowflake

The presentation showcased how erwin by Quest, in partnership with Datavault and Snowflake, enables organizations to automate Data Vault solutions from modeling to marketplace. With tools for data modeling, intelligence, governance, and quality, you can:

• Design and reverse-engineer Data Vault models

• Map data lineage and automate code generation

• Govern, curate, and observe data assets

• Score and shop for trusted, governed data in a data marketplace

Automation means faster, cheaper delivery of data pipelines—up to 30% faster than manual coding

Data Governance and AI: Building Trust in the Age of Automation

Bad data is like plastic in the ocean—it sticks around and causes long-term harm. Data Vault, combined with strong data governance, helps organizations:

• Ensure data quality and traceability

• Meet compliance and privacy requirements (GDPR, etc.)

• Support transparent, trustworthy AI (“Glass Box” AI, not “Black Box”)

• Respond quickly to data breaches and regulatory requests

With AI models relying on your data, it’s more important than ever to have clear lineage, accountability, and governance in place.

Real-World Success Stories

The session included customer stories from organizations like Tokio Marine HCC, who built a highly literate data community and achieved agility, trust, and innovation with Data Vault. Peer reviews highlighted faster, more reliable data pipelines and the importance of proof-of-concept projects to ensure solutions meet business needs.
