The data governance lifecycle

Each event inside of Heap moves through a lifecycle that transforms them from bits of data into powerful insights. Our approach to governance maximizes consistency and scalability at each step.

  • Define: Label events according to a standard naming taxonomy that’s enforced across your dataset.

  • Validate: Admins ensure data is captured, defined, and recorded exactly as intended.

  • Monitor: Heap watches your event data, automatically notifies admins when an event needs attention, and walks teams through the repair process.

  • Evolve: Easily update, retire, and combine events as your digital experience evolves.

Data Governance within Heap. Define Event Naming Conventions for all events

Keep customer data clean and consistent

In other tools, you keep data governed by keeping your dataset small. In Heap, you get all the data you need, without losing any organization.

  • Naming conventions ensure definitions stay consistent, across the digital experience.

  • Data Dictionary provides a definitions hub and a single point of administration, giving proper context to all events.

  • Categories and version history keep events organized, while maintaining flexibility in usage.

Admin governance features within Heap

Automate and evolve your governance workflows

Digital experiences evolve quickly. With other tools, it’s easy for events to break or go stale. Not with Heap.

  • Admins get notifications when new events are created and ready for verification.

  • Event definitions that haven’t collected data in 72 hours are automatically surfaced to admins for repair or archival.

  • Because Heap collects data from the moment of installation, it’s easy to stitch new events to old ones, keeping data consistent even as your site changes.

Mission control for behavioral insights

  • Trustworthy data at scale

    Heap’s governance tools ensure a clean and trusted dataset, no matter the number of events.

  • Flexibility and precision

    Other tools make you choose between data and organization. Heap gives you both.

  • Ease of management

    Say goodbye to manual tracking plans and spreadsheets. Heap builds governance into the platform.
