Data flow maps

Keeping architecture diagrams current is hard work, because systems change faster than any picture of them. OntaVera builds your data flow maps from parsed lineage evidence, so the picture shows how data moves across your systems today, as read from the code that runs.

What you get01 / 03
01

System-to-system flow maps roll up from column-level lineage, so every line on the map is backed by parsed edges.

02

You can zoom from a bank-wide view down through domains and systems to individual columns without switching tools.

03

Flows across warehouses, ETL, and BI appear in one picture, built through the connector library with no per-connector fees.

04

Ownership and domain overlays come from the same graph, so you can see who is accountable for each flow.

05

The map re-derives on every scan: retired flows drop off, new ones appear, and nothing on it is placed manually.

06

Undeclared movement stands out, because a flow with no owner or stated purpose is visible as exactly that.

How it works02 / 03
1

Aggregate

Column-level edges roll up into system-level and domain-level flows.

2

Overlay

Owners, domains, and CDE tags draw over the flows from the same governed graph.

3

Refresh

Each scan re-derives the map, because flows are derived from evidence and are never set by hand.

4

Drill

Click any flow to open the column-level edges and the statements behind them.

Questions it answers03 / 03

“How does customer data actually move through our systems?”

The flow map shows it in one picture, rolled up from column-level lineage across your warehouses, ETL, and BI. You can zoom from the bank-wide view down to individual columns, and every line on the map is backed by parsed edges.

“How do I know this map is current?”

The map re-derives on every scan, so retired flows drop off and new ones appear automatically. Nothing on it is placed manually, which means the picture always reflects the code that runs today.

“Who owns each of these flows?”

Ownership and domain overlays draw directly onto the map from the same governed graph, so accountability is visible flow by flow. A flow with no owner stands out as exactly that.

The next step

Start with proof, not a promise.

There are three ways in, and each one earns the next. You approve the exit criteria before we spend any more of your time or budget.

01

A 60-minute working session

Bring one report that is expensive to prove. We walk the mechanism against it. Nothing is required from your side.

02

A two-week guided sandbox

Your team works hands-on against a synthetic sample bank. It requires zero access to your systems and zero procurement.

03

A six-week proof on your systems

We use read-only metadata across five systems and one priority report, scored against criteria both sides sign first. The decision it produces is yours.
