Redwood City, Calif. – February 9, 2021 – Alation Inc., the data intelligence company, today announced that Fifth Third Bank selected Alation as its platform to share data across the organization. The platform will enable teams across the bank to use data to drive innovation that delivers superior customer engagements and outcomes.

Using Alation, Fifth Third created a single source where data is cataloged, tagged, governed, and shared – creating efficiencies and improving speed and security. Data scientists, analysts, and engineers can find data and context on that data in one central place.

“Data is at the core of running our business and Alation is at the center of our data ecosystem. By empowering our teams with knowledge about our data, we are lowering the barrier for generating insights, and can provide a better customer experience,” said Sebastian LaRosa, Director of Data Platforms, Vice President, Fifth Third Bank. “We chose Alation because it allows for controlled visibility and access into trusted data, and a next-gen approach to data management at the point of consumption so that the right data is used by the right people.”
