People-first active data governance

Alation's data governance methodology was created to close the gap between guidelines, policies, and the way that data is actually being used. The goal is to deliver an iterative process of continuous management and improvement meanwhile empowering people — not punishing them.

Your entire data ecosystem, all in one place

To be able to effectively guide analytics work, spur collaboration, and encourage active data governance, data catalog software must connect to many different data sources.  Alation has 100+ connectors for a wide variety of data sources.
