Data Lineage & Data Objects
Data lineage is knowing where your data comes from, where it goes, and every system it passes through along the way. When a regulator asks "where does customer PII live?", or a migration project needs to know "who consumes order data?", data lineage gives you the answer.
Albumi tracks data objects across your entire integration landscape — each with a System of Record, data classification, PII flags, and a visual lineage graph showing every source and consumer. You see the full journey of any data object in seconds.
What You Can Do
System of Record Assignment
Every data object has one authoritative source — the System of Record. Albumi lets you assign and track SoR for each data object, so you always know which system is the single source of truth for Customer, Order, Product, or any other entity.
Data Classification & PII
Classify data as Public, Internal, Confidential, or Restricted. Flag data objects that contain PII. When you need to answer compliance questions about where sensitive data flows, the answer is one click away.
Source-to-Consumer Visualization
See the full flow of any data object — from its System of Record through every integration to every consuming application. A visual lineage graph that shows exactly how data moves through your organization.
Hierarchical Organization
Organize data objects hierarchically — Customer → Contact, Address, Payment Method. This gives you both the high-level view for stakeholder conversations and the detailed view for technical work.
Integration Linking
Data objects are linked to the integrations that carry them. Change an integration, and you immediately see which data flows are affected. Decommission a system, and you know which data objects need a new home.
Example: GDPR Data Audit
A regulator asks: "Where does customer personal data live in your organization?" In Albumi, you open the "Customer" data object, flagged as PII. The lineage graph shows: System of Record is Salesforce, data flows via 6 integrations to the Data Warehouse, Email Service, Analytics Platform, Mobile App Backend, and two partner APIs.
You can answer the regulator's question in minutes, with a visual diagram as evidence. No spreadsheets, no guesswork, no 3-week audit project.
