Alation

Alation pioneered the idea of the data catalog: a guide to the kinds of information stored across an enterprise, meant to aid in search, discovery, governance, collab­o­ra­tion, and innovation. But building a catalog is just the first step toward achieving data intel­li­gence — an under­standing of who is using company data, where it’s located, when it’s being accessed, why it’s needed, and how it’s being used. Alation’s Data intel­li­gence platform solves the garbage-in, garbage-out problem and helps leaders find the trustworthy, verifiable data they need to make better decisions.
