Codex Catalog
by Nova Silva
Enterprise Reference Data for Azure
Codex Catalog is a secure, scalable solution for managing and governing reference data across the enterprise. Built for Azure, it helps data-intensive organizations centralize control over critical code lists, lookups, and controlled vocabularies—ensuring consistency, traceability, and reliability in every system that depends on them.
Codex Catalog allows organizations to define, manage, and govern reference data lists through a centralized interface and robust API infrastructure. It supports role-based access control, version tracking, validation rules, and approval workflows, making it easy to enforce data governance policies without slowing down operations.
Key capabilities include:
Role-Based Access Control: Assign fine-grained permissions like viewer, editor, and approver to ensure the right level of access for each user.
Versioning and Archiving: Track changes over time, compare versions, and roll back to previous versions if needed.
Validation Enforcement: Ensure data quality through rules that enforce allowed value sets, formats, and linked list constraints.
Approval Workflows: Require structured reviews and approvals before changes go live—improving trust and accountability.
Audit Logging: Every change is logged with user, timestamp, and context for full traceability.
Lookup APIs: Real-time REST endpoints make it easy for downstream systems to consume reference data programmatically.
Export/Import Support: Work with standard formats like CSV and Excel for bulk data operations.
Codex Catalog is offered as a Managed Application deployable in your own Azure environment, with full support for Azure AD integration and enterprise security standards.
Codex Catalog is designed for data-driven teams and enterprises that require consistent, well-governed reference data across systems and business units. It is especially beneficial for:
Data Governance Teams: Who need to enforce standards and maintain audit trails.
Enterprise Architects: Who must ensure consistency across complex ecosystems.
Data Engineers and Platform Owners: Who build and maintain data pipelines, APIs, and integrations.
Analytics and BI Leaders: Who rely on harmonized data inputs for accurate dashboards and models.
Compliance and Risk Officers: Who must meet regulatory standards and demonstrate data controls.
Most organizations struggle with scattered, inconsistent, and undocumented reference data. Different teams or systems use different versions of the same list—such as product categories, customer types, or country codes—leading to reporting mismatches, broken integrations, and compliance risks.
Codex Catalog solves this problem by:
Providing a single source of truth for reference data
Standardizing change management with workflows and approvals
Enabling integration across platforms through secure APIs
Improving transparency and auditability of every data change
Empowering collaboration across business and IT users
Whether you are integrating a new system, building a machine learning pipeline, or reconciling regulatory reports, Codex Catalog ensures your reference data is clean, current, and compliant.
