A complete, education-focused data governance solution for state education agencies and school districts. PCG brings the framework, configuration, workflows, and stewardship model. The catalog and metadata engine is powered by Dataedo.

Apply rules, schedule automated checks, monitor results, and route findings to the right steward.
Structured review and approval for terms, definitions, quality issues, and certification.
