The new data governance experience in Microsoft Purview is designed to provide a sophisticated yet user-friendly approach to managing data governance. It will be available in preview starting April 8, 2024, and aims to integrate various data sources while enhancing business efficiency through AI. This experience focuses on simplifying governance actions and providing insights that help organizations implement effective data governance practices.

Microsoft Purview includes a robust data quality model that allows organizations to set top-down rules and policies for data management. It features built-in capabilities for data profiling and quality scans, which provide insights into data quality based on defined business rules. This model helps save time for data stewards by automating assessments and generating quality scores at various levels, ensuring that data meets organizational standards.

Microsoft has announced a collaboration with Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) to create data governance reports and playbooks tailored for the financial services sector. This initiative aims to help customers adhere to specific regulatory needs and accelerate their governance practices. Additionally, Microsoft is partnering with various technology providers to integrate their solutions with Microsoft Purview, enhancing its value through pre-built integrations available in the Azure Marketplace.
