What You'll Learn in 45 Minutes

This session draws on deployments across financial services, manufacturing, and government to share a practical framework for extending catalog governance to unstructured data.

The Framework for Catalog Extension:

  • Why the 80% blind spot exists and kills adoption: Understand why catalogs work for structured data but can't see unstructured files
  • What data technical debt costs you: Real metrics: 40-60% unknown sensitive data, 10-20% wasted storage, 50% slower audits
  • The three paths forward: Compare replace vs. build vs. extend approaches with real cost and timeline data
  • Extension architecture that works: Learn how to integrate unstructured data metadata into your existing catalog platform
  • How to transform catalog adoption: See catalogs go from static inventory to living knowledge system 

Live Demo: Watch discovery and classification process real unstructured data. See catalog integration in action. View on-premises, air-gapped deployment options with data never leaving your control.

The 80% Problem: Extending Your Data Catalog to Unstructured Data

You're Not Protecting Your Investment.

You're Living With its Blind Spot.

Every day, you field another question:

  • "Can we move this to the cloud?"

  • "Is this data AI-ready?"

  • "How fast can we respond to this DSAR?"

But here's your honest answer: "I don't know what's in our file shares. I don't know what metadata exists. And frankly, nobody knows where half our data actually lives."

Your catalog governs databases and cloud apps beautifully. But 80% of your data on SharePoint, network drives, email archives, and document repositories sits completely outside its view.

This creates data technical debt that compounds daily: 40-60% of sensitive data unknown, business users bypassing your catalog, multi-year implementations with disappointing adoption metrics.

You're not lacking governance tools. You've invested millions in them. But somewhere in those petabytes of unstructured files are both the insights that could transform your business and the compliance violations that could destroy it.

If you're a data governance leader, CDO, or privacy officer, this is your reality:

  • Business users can't find documents, so catalog adoption stalls
  • Regulators requiring proof of data control you can't provide
  • 80% of your data sitting unclassified, ungoverned, and blocking initiatives
  • Pressure to extend governance without replacing your catalog investment

Kyle DuPont CEO Ohalo
Kyle DuPont, CEO
Trusted by leading financial services, government, and telecom enterprises.

Kyle founded Ohalo after witnessing enterprises struggle with the same fundamental problem: they couldn't govern, migrate, or use 80% of their data because it lived in unstructured files. He's worked with Tier 1 banks, global manufacturers, and government agencies to bring unstructured data under control, enabling cloud migration, AI deployment, and complete governance coverage.

Alistair Jones, CTO
Architected compliance-ready AI deployments at scale.

Alistair leads Ohalo's technical architecture, focusing on systems that classify unstructured data at scale while operating in restrictive environments. His work enables on-premises and air-gapped deployments for organizations where cloud solutions aren't an option.

Why This Matters Now

The cost of catalog blind spots is compounding:

Regulatory pressure intensifying
Regulators are cracking down on data security and labeling and can even block M&A approvals until data control is proven. The "we're working on it" defense is expiring.

Cloud migration deadlines approaching
Data center contracts expiring. Cloud-first mandates from leadership. But you can't migrate 10+ petabytes you haven't classified.

AI competitive window closing
Your competitors are deploying AI on governed data while you're explaining why your catalog can't see 80% of enterprise knowledge.
