In a recent interview by Solutions Review, Doug Atkinson, President and Host, sat down with John Salva – Manager of Data Architecture at Pivvot, Inc. – during the FME User Conference 2025: The Peak of Data and AI.

Salva

John is a Certified FME Professional, Server Professional, and a CDMP (Certified Data Management Professional), leads the data team at Pivvot. He shared how the company maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy to support the ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources. These sources must be rigorously managed for quality before entering the platform.

By leveraging FME’s powerful and flexible transformer, the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect issues and perform analysis before data is extracted from the staging environment—eliminating the need for rollbacks or wasted cycles on failed jobs.

Pivvot’s approach empowers organizations to maintain control over their data ecosystems while proactively addressing quality concerns. From ingestion to validation, Pivvot is redefining how data is handled and analyzed.

Explore Pivvot’s platform—a comprehensive tool for managing data quality and analysis, no extensive technical experience required.
