Abstract: The invention is directed to systems, graphical user interfaces (GUI), and methods of providing data managers with a data management solution that provides visibility of data streams and quality and determine if a data feed has adequate health. Methods may include receiving an data feed; determining applicable historical information; determining quality rules; determining associated metadata; and determining if the data feed has adequate health and if so, processing the data feed. Systems may include a data processing engine to process the data feed, an operations management node to create metadata for data feed, a quality and validation node to quantify quality characteristics of a data stream, a decision engine to determine if a data feed requires manual intervention and automatically determine, based at least in part upon metadata, processing paths to be utilized by the data processing engine; and a graphical user interface enabling users to control data feed decisions.
