Rick Whiting
From predictive analytics and data fabric architecture to data observability and data governance software, here’s a look at 10 big data trends and technologies that solution and service providers need to be aware of in the new year.

The Rise Of Comprehensive Data Governance Platforms
Until recently data managers looking to automate data governance processes have had to rely on point products and tools with specific functionality including data catalogs, data lineage, data quality, data access control, data security, master data management and more. That made it difficult to protect data against unauthorized access and misuse and ensure that data met corporate policy and government regulatory requirements, notes industry analyst Wayne Eckerson of the Eckerson Group in a recent report on big data trends for 2022.
Over the last year a number of big data companies have been combining these tools and capabilities into increasingly comprehensive data governance platforms, Eckerson notes, including Ataccama, Alation, Collibra, Hitachi Vantara, Informatica, Precisely, Talend and Zaloni. As we enter 2022 look for data managers to adopt and implement these platforms to improve their data governance efforts.
