Some of the hot topics on the agenda today is the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the data lake concept. These are also hot topics for me, as GDPR is high on the agenda in doing MDM (and currently TDM – Test Data Management) consultancy and the data lake approach is the basic concept in my Product Data Lake venture.
In my eyes the data lake concept can be used for a lot of business challenges. One of the them was highlighted in a CIO article called Informatica brings AI to GDPR compliance, data governance. In here Informatica CEO Anil Chakravarthy tells how a new tool, Informatica’s Compliance Data Lake, can help organisations getting a grasp on where data elements relevant to be compliant with GDPR resides in the IT landscape. This is a task very close to me in a current engagement.
The Informatica compliance tool is built on the Informatica’s Intelligent Data Lake, which was touched in the post Multi-Domain MDM 360 and an Intelligent Data Lake.
