Solidatus Achieves Inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant Listing

London, UK – 16 NOVEMBER 2020 – Solidatus, the leader in metadata management, has achieved its first placement on the Gartner Magic Quadrant for metadata management as one of 17 market leaders in its field.

Solidatus is the only new entrant in the field to be added to this year’s Gartner Magic Quadrant, and is one of the youngest companies to attain placement in the Quadrant’s history.

Gartner’s assessment of Solidatus notes the business’ “immense experience” working with financial services organisations, providing regulatory and compliance expertise in one of the world’s most heavily regulated industries. It has also identified the uniqueness of Solidatus’ lineage-first approach. Gartner also identified their clients’ recognition of its flexibility, ease of search and visualisation, and its “investigate and fix” offering. Their assessment also praised Solidatus’ ability to easily bind and integrate other applications, bookending organisations’ data into a single, visual lineage set.

The achievement comes during the London-based firm’s most successful year to date, which has seen it more than double in size, quadruple in revenue and announce strategic commercial and investment partnerships with Tier 1 client Citi. 2021 is shaping up to be an even bigger year, with the company again expecting to more than double in size, as well as expand further into new territories.

This year has also seen a number of other achievements for Solidatus, including:

  • Gartner Peer Insights’ independent client satisfaction rating of 4.9 out of 5, with 92% industry reviews at 5-Star rating, and a “100% would recommend” endorsement
  • Solidatus collaborated with the Financial Conduct Authority by providing its modelling software to over 90 participants at their recent DataSprint. The DataSprint developed synthetic data assets for a Digital Sandbox pilot to solve use cases including combating fraud and supporting financial resilience
  • Membership of the Enterprise Data Management Council (EDM Council) Cloud Data Management Capabilities (CDMC) Best Practices Review Committee
  • Developing an industry-first model for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and membership of EDM Council ESG Work Group and selected as the DCAM Knowledge Modelling solution
  • Committee membership of ISO 20022 Semantic Models working group
  • Significant multichannel diversification of its client base among Tier 1 US and European financial services institutions, government & public sector, retail, regulatory authorities, food manufacturing, pharmaceutical and healthcare 

Philip Miller, co-CEO of Solidatus, comments, “Making the Magic Quadrant is an important milestone for the business, recognising the incredible growth Solidatus has seen since its inception. For it to occur in a year transformed by the global COVID-19 pandemic is simply exceptional. This affirms our vision is truly unique with its visual, adaptable ‘lineage-first’ approach to solving the complex issues of corporate metadata management. We’re on course for further growth and breaking into new sectors, demonstrating the efficiencies the platform can bring to sectors beyond our current bases in financial services, government, pharmaceutical and retail.”

Philip Dutton, co-CEO of Solidatus, adds, “To have achieved the Magic Quadrant listing just three years after securing our first client is a ringing endorsement of how quickly we’ve managed to address client needs and how our solution is driving the industry forward. We couldn’t have imagined obtaining this achievement in such a short period. Being recognised for the value we bring to the data management space by such a prestigious organisation is a feat for Solidatus. Our goal is to become not only the industry leader, but also the benchmark for metadata management delivering on the promise of data.”

Placement in the Magic Quadrant also comes in the same year as Solidatus’ successful rollout of its latest software update, Version 4.0, featuring its integrated, elevated and enhanced industry-leading Data Catalog. In support of this significant growth phase, it also expanded its senior team with the appointment of several new hires.

Solidatus is passionate about revolutionising the data economy. The business’ primary focus is on shifting the data management paradigm towards sustainability and helping organisations become proactive rather than reactive when it comes to the management of their data. Understanding and harnessing data is one of the biggest, most longstanding, operational challenges facing enterprises the world over.

Latest news

London, UK – 26 MAY 2020 – Solidatus, the leading data lineage and business relationship mapping solution, today announces its interactive Collibra integration.

The Solidatus’ technical integration with Collibra enables data to be seamlessly passed between the two platforms, providing a new market-leading level of analytics, automation, extraction and real-time lineage at scale.

Solidatus’ unique collaborative approach enables it to integrate with multiple sources of data. In this case, its solution will book-end Collibra for the generation, curation and federation of business-mastered data beyond the data steward community.

Data strategy, governance and integration specialist DTSQUARED was instrumental in facilitating the collaboration between Solidatus and Collibra. By advising on clients’ typical pain points to ensure the integration between the two solutions, the consultancy ultimately created greater client capabilities for data collaboration. Such integrations are highly beneficial to end user clients, streamlining functionality between systems and bridging gaps from platform to platform, generating much more holistic and effective end results.

Solidatus’ software and its uniquely visual approach accelerates the process of distilling an organisation’s data assets into critical data elements (CDEs), reference data sets and other categorised data sets from the plethora of metadata sources available. Its advanced metadata analytics, as well as the federated collection and socialisation models, together improve the accuracy, completeness, and agreement of the data an organisation delivers into Collibra.

Key benefits of the integration include:

Accelerating Discovery and Collibra Adoption: Solidatus accelerates the tagging, rating and commentary process, rapidly annotating an organisation’s relevant data and content so that it can be automatically exported into Collibra – this is while storing the deep technical content for future discovery and visualisation.

Performant Technical Lineage & Visualisation at Scale: When a user wishes to move from Collibra Business views to a more technical, granular level, Solidatus provides the opportunity to drill down into detailed lineage at considerable scale. The Collibra user can automatically link to Solidatus and define different categories of the detailed metadata to promote greater insight, illustrate data quality, and solve other related issues.

Assurance & Compliance: Solidatus can automatically import and reflect the current approved governance models from Collibra. Solidatus exposes Collibra-governed data to the development community where they can validate, map and test future changes using the distributed source control and audit features. This provides management teams and developers with visibility, individual responsibility, assurance and control, giving them confidence that they are compliant with the agreed company governance frameworks maintained in Collibra.

Philip Dutton, Co-Founder of Solidatus, comments: “Solidatus’ integration with Collibra brings a tremendous amount of value to organisations struggling with Enterprise data governance. Solidatus seamlessly links incumbent data governance platforms enabling accelerated ROI for organisations, by reducing the challenging implementation phase of governance from years to months, and providing instant impact analysis across the governed estate. Together this allows organisations to effectively visualise, generate, govern and utilise their most valuable asset, their data.”

Toby Pearson, CEO, DTSQUARED, adds, “Solidatus’ integration to Collibra is the connective tissue allowing end user clients to really benefit from the best of both platforms. Achieving truly sustainable Enterprise data governance requires collaboration. By advising and developing the use case for an integration between Solidatus and Collibra, two key players in the market, we are further supporting our clients with expert advice on all aspects of their data landscape.”
