Company launches series of initiatives to embrace data governance as a strategic use case
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Alation Inc. launched a series of initiatives to embrace data governance as a strategic use case as part of a broader vision to transform the data catalog into a platform for a broad range of data intelligence solutions, including data search and discovery, analyst productivity, data governance, data stewardship, analytics, and digital transformation. The initiatives include product road map enhancements; upcoming and recently-announced strategic partnerships; a new active data governance methodology, and a series of marketing programs starting with an upcoming webinar featuring Alation customer Riot Games and data governance expert Bob Seiner, author of “Non-Invasive Data Governance: The Path of Least Resistance and Greatest Success.”
“We’re doubling down on data governance in response to both requests from our customers and the realization that the data catalog is the ideal leverage point for applying data governance,” said Satyen Sangani, co-founder and CEO of Alation. “About one-third of Alation customers already leverage the data catalog as a platform for data governance. By working with these customers, we’ve determined how to drive our product strategy, our alliances strategy, our marketing, and our professional services to best embrace data governance as a strategic use case, all as part of our overall vision to transform the data catalog into a platform for a broad range of data intelligence solutions.”
