Automated Lineage at Enterprise Scale | Terrence Hedin, LSEG

Description:
Manual lineage processes can't keep up with enterprise-scale data operations. Terrence Hedin, Data and Metadata Platform Director at LSEG, describes how the organization moved from spreadsheets and word of mouth to a highly automated business process for building and maintaining data lineage. It's complex and it's not easy, but it's accurate, reliable, and consistent. That consistency is what allows LSEG to build everything else on top of their lineage foundation.

Recorded on location at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2026 in Orlando, Florida.

Key Takeaways:
1. LSEG replaced manual lineage processes with a highly automated business process
2. The process is complex but delivers accuracy, reliability, and consistency
3. Consistent lineage is the foundation that everything else at LSEG is built on
