Together, they enable governed self-service data products at scale.
Value Proposition
Why This Integration Matters
From Inventory to Products
Modern businesses must evolve beyond maintaining a static inventory of data assets. The market demands usable, discoverable data products that deliver immediate business value. Cataloging alone doesn't create consumption, productization does.
Governance + Activation
Traditional governance platforms excel at control but fail at enablement. Purview + Latttice breaks this trade-off, delivering both comprehensive governance and frictionless activation in a unified experience.
Low-Friction Access
Analytics teams require immediate access to trusted data with appropriate guardrails, not lengthy approval workflows. This integration provides policy-aware self-service that respects governance boundaries while accelerating delivery.
Scale Without Chaos
As data product creation democratizes across the organization, governance must scale proportionally. This integration ensures that increased velocity doesn't compromise compliance, security, or data quality standards.

User Journey
How It Works: End-to-End Flow
Understanding the complete workflow reveals how governance and activation work together seamlessly. From initial data discovery through product deployment and continuous monitoring, every step maintains compliance while accelerating delivery.
1
Purview Catalogs & Classifies
Microsoft Purview automatically scans your data sources, building a comprehensive catalog with sensitivity classifications, business glossary mappings, and quality assessments. Data is tagged with appropriate security labels and compliance markers.
2
Latttice Connects for Context
Latttice establishes a connection to Purview APIs, ingesting the complete metadata and policy context. This includes schemas, business terms, access policies, sensitivity labels, and any custom classifications your organization has defined.
3
User Requests Data Product
A business analyst or data consumer describes their need in natural language: "Show me quarterly revenue by region for enterprise customers." Latttice's AI engine interprets the request using Purview's business glossary for semantic understanding.
4
Policy-Aware Execution
Before generating a data product, Latttice enforces all applicable Purview policies. The AI engine automatically excludes columns the user cannot access, applies row-level security filters, and respects data residency requirements, all transparently.
5
Product Deployed with Feedback
The data product is deployed and made available to consumers. Latttice immediately writes back lineage information to Purview, documenting the new asset, its dependencies, and usage patterns for complete audit trails.
Key Capabilities
Advanced Integration Features
The Latttice + Purview integration delivers sophisticated capabilities that go far beyond basic metadata synchronization. These features represent the cutting edge of governed data product creation, combining AI intelligence with enterprise-grade controls.
