Building a lakehouse architecture can be complex. You’re dealing with data from multiple systems — Salesforce, ERP, IoT devices — and trying to make it usable for analytics, AI, and machine learning. That means ingesting, cleaning, transforming, and governing data across environments. 

Lexmark’s Optra Data Accelerator (ODA) simplifies this process with a metadata-driven, low-code platform that automates pipeline creation and management. It’s designed to help data engineers, analysts, and business users build a trusted, scalable data foundation — fast. 

What does Optra Data Accelerator do? 

In short, it helps you: 

  • Ingest data from multiple sources 
  • Clean and transform that data using built-in tools 
  • Move data through environments (like dev to prod) quickly 
  • Make data usable for both technical and non-technical teams 

And it does all of this using a visual interface backed by a powerful metadata engine.

What you’ll see in the demo 

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s covered: 

  • Open or create a new data pipeline using the Lineage Builder 
  • Connect to sources like Salesforce, SQL Server, or Event Hub 
  • Choose how to pull in data and where to store it 
  • Apply pre-built data quality checks to make sure the data is correct and complete 
  • Combine and transform the data using SQL to get it ready for reporting or AI 
  • Let GenAI help you write SQL queries using simple prompts 
  • Configure when and how often your data pipelines should run 
  • Promote your pipeline from testing to production with just a few clicks

Why it matters 

Most data platforms require heavy engineering effort to build and maintain pipelines. ODA reduces that burden by automating the most time-consuming tasks and making the platform accessible to non-technical users. 

With Optra Data Accelerator, you can: 

  • Build your lakehouse in half the time 
  • Reduce operational costs by over 50% 
  • Ensure data privacy and governance 
  • Deliver clean, AI-ready data to your teams 

Whether you're just starting your data journey or looking to scale your analytics and AI efforts, ODA gives you the tools to do it right — and do it fast.
