Sequence 212 — Platform decision - why Purview primary and Collibra secondary

Context: Career Data Governance Platform Specialization | Career Platform
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual

When / purpose

Understand the career decision before investing study time.

What you should learn

  • Purview has a strong broad employment signal.
  • Collibra has strong governance/stewardship purity.
  • OpenMetadata remains the low-cost local sandbox.
  • Informatica/Alation/Atlan are employer-driven alternatives.

What to read / study

  • MUST: Data Governance Platform Career Evaluation — use the current 2026 platform decision and boundaries; do not use outdated SC-400/DP-600 recommendations.
  • REFERENCE: Career Data Governance Platforms folder — store chosen courses, notes and evidence; the program does not author full vendor courses.

Do this in order

  1. Read the evaluation executive decision and job-market caution.
  2. Write why raw keyword counts are directional only.
  3. Write your primary, secondary and sandbox choices.

Meridian application

Translate existing Meridian governance/metadata designs into platform concepts; do not rebuild the whole company inside every vendor.

Create / save

Platform decision note.

Stop / boundary

Keep the work in Data Governance. Stop before Fabric analytics engineering, Spark, production ingestion pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, deep DLP/eDiscovery administration or security operations.

Completion gate

You can explain why Purview is primary without claiming it is an undisputed market-share winner.
