EUC’s do not live in isolation. Spreadsheets pull data from databases, third-party data sources and other spreadsheets. Maintaining transparency and data governance across the end-user computing environment is important as it provides visibility on how data is moving across the organisation and simplifies the ability to trace errors back to the root cause in a model or spreadsheet process.

For risk and data managers, access to real-time EUC data lineage supports a more robust data governance framework to ensure only approved data sources are used and provides an effective mechanism to track the root cause of an error within a process dependency tree. For organisations that want to accelerate their digital transformation, it provides transparency on data and file dependencies which ensures that the people re-engineering the process, implementing RPA or building a replacement solution, can have all the details they need to deliver a successful implementation.
