It started with a question
How do you connect people with questions to people with answers? That was the deceptively simple question that Alation co-founders, Satyen Sangani and Aaron Kalb, pondered during their first meeting. Together, they combined machine learning with human curation to create the first modern data catalog.
We have used Alation as a foundation of our data democratization premise as well as quality and policy linkage.
With Alation, we’ve seen a lot of added efficiency, cost reduction, and ultimately greater output.
Alation saved me a weeks' worth of asking around. I could quickly identify other tables, verify the tables were actively used, and join that table to my existing dataset to expand my query.
