A recent press release reports, “Alation Inc., the data catalog company, today announced the general availability of its Analytics Stewardship application in the Alation Data Catalog. This industry breakthrough product offering is complemented by a professional services accelerator that together provide an easier and faster way for enterprises to drive more value from self-service analytics while ensuring accurate, compliant data use. With massive amounts of distributed data being generated and analyzed, enterprises struggle to ensure accurate use of data and analytics, leaving businesses vulnerable to compliance risks and making decisions based on faulty data analysis. Many organizations struggle to balance the critical inter-dependency between top-down governance and bottoms-up analytics stewardship and are narrowly focused on solving one or the other. Alation’s Analytics Stewardship offerings bridge the gap between top-down policy-setting by governance teams and policy interpretation and enforcement by analysts and self-service data users, creating a more collaborative and holistic approach to governance.”

Markus Schmidberger, Director of Data Technology at Scout24, noted, “Alation gives us the visibility to contend with the enormous amount of data our business generates, prioritizing our stewardship efforts and applying data policies at scale to all of our data sets. With Alation, we have a single source of reference to monitor which business units have made progress or not in improving data sets, giving us greater visibility into department-level stewardship efforts and measure the impact these efforts have on our analytics… Alation’s stewardship capabilities are helping us build a data culture that will advance innovation within our digital marketplace.”
