Data Governance is a really broad topic from processes to policies to data standards to indexes to security, so it&#39;s really hard to say what kind of tool is being looked for.  Is this for scanning and managing metadata, or automating data workflows, data governance stewardship?<br><br>For tech, smaller programs normally use the tech stack they have within the enterprise. So, if an org is Hadoop based and comfortable with that ecosystem, they may be looking at Apache Atlas or Ranger.  But if the need is greater than the current tools allow but without expertise in the open source tools required, I wouldn&#39;t limit myself to open source.

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time. 
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?

Which vendor solutions are being considered to "read, identify and redact information" in unstructured data sets? I'm specifically looking at solutions that can mask / redact or hide content within documents, that allow documents to be consumed but certain piece of information to be hidden.
