Microsoft today announced Azure Purview, a unified data governance service to help organizations completely understand their data. Azure Purview will help them manage and govern their on-premises, multicloud, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) data.

Azure Purview features:

• Automated data discovery, lineage identification, and data classification across on-premises, multicloud, and SaaS sources
• Unified map of your data assets and their relationships for more effective governance
• Semantic search enables data discovery using business or technical terms
• Insight into the location and movement of sensitive data across your hybrid data landscape
