The Problem

In many organizations, data is siloed across multiple systems, making it difficult to achieve a unified understanding of how different pieces of information relate to one another. Without a clear enterprise ontology—a shared framework for understanding data across systems—businesses struggle with inconsistent definitions, duplicated efforts, and misaligned strategies, leading to inefficiencies and poor decision-making.

Our Solution

Scaled Sense’s Enterprise Ontology solution provides a comprehensive, scalable framework that unifies your organization’s data across disparate systems. It defines how different data entities relate to one another, ensuring a consistent, shared understanding across the enterprise.

Challenges organizations face:

• Data Silos: Different teams or departments have their own systems and definitions, leading to fragmented and inconsistent data usage.
• Complex Relationships: Understanding the relationships between data entities across systems is challenging, especially in large organizations.
• Data Governance: Implementing consistent governance and taxonomy across systems and data sources is often overlooked, resulting in poor data quality and compliance issues.
• Evolving Definitions: As organizations grow, so do the complexity and evolution of data definitions, making it difficult to maintain a unified data framework.

How Scaled Sense helps overcome these challenges:

• Unified Data Framework: Scaled Sense brings together data from multiple systems, ensuring a consistent enterprise-wide understanding of key business terms and relationships.
• Simplified Governance: The platform enforces governance policies, ensuring that data definitions, rules, and relationships are consistently applied and understood across the organization.
• Adaptive to Change: The solution allows for dynamic updates to the enterprise ontology, ensuring that changes in business operations, data sources, or systems are reflected without disrupting operations.
• Automated Mapping: Scaled Sense automatically maps and reconciles data entities and relationships from different systems, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.

What are the core principles that make Data Mesh a great solution?

Consistency

A shared, consistent understanding of data ensures that all teams are speaking the same language and using the same definitions, reducing confusion and improving collaboration.

Scalability‍

The enterprise ontology grows with your organization, adapting to new data sources, systems, and business processes without breaking or requiring extensive rework.

Governance‍

Built-in governance ensures that data definitions, policies, and relationships are enforced across all systems, improving data quality, compliance, and trust.

Adaptability‍

The ability to dynamically update the ontology as business needs or data sources evolve ensures that it remains relevant and accurate over time.

Transparency‍

Visualizing and mapping the relationships between data entities helps teams understand how different systems interact, making it easier to identify gaps, overlaps, or inconsistencies.
