We're proud to share that Alation has been named an Inc. Best Workplace for the 5th time! 🥳 🏆 5 times in a row?! Just how do we keep on winning?! We have to say: we're not surprised. Hear from some of our Alationauts what makes our culture so special: 🧡 “We have a lot of people with significant tenure here, and people don't stay somewhere for years where they're not successful and where they’re not enjoying the culture." — Tassia Reinhold, Regional Sales Director. 💙 "The people are the most important part of our company. If we all like each other and we know about each other, we can build a better business.” — Michael Lupo, SVP, Global Sales. 🧡 "Every single person that we hire has what I like to call this do-what-it-takes mentality. And that's something that is very unique, because oftentimes so many people have their day-to-day jobs, and being able to depend on so many people when you raise your hand is something that I haven't always seen in the past.” — Kelsey Malof, Account Executive.

If you have a thriving data culture, chances are you have data governance to go along with it. When it comes to data governance, critical data elements, or #CDEs, can be used to ease data governance efforts by: 💯 Prioritizing important data 👀 Increasing visibility of critical data ✔️ Identifying data required for regulatory compliance On a recent Alation webinar, Chad Barendse, data governance expert, along with Tim Moon, Founder and Principal of DGX Group, and Rob Aldridge, Senior Sales Engineer at Alation, talked about the importance of CDEs for modern data governance and walked attendees through the framework for identifying and managing CDEs in an organization. This blog is packed with highlights about the CDE framework, a demo of how Alation enables CDE through data governance, and more. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eTaUhXUv

“It’s great that Alation and DQC integrate well and complement each other perfectly to make high-quality data available." — Sebastian Kaus, Data Governance Leader at Vattenfall. ❗🤯 Imagine if your project development could go from 3 months to just 3 weeks. Bonus: and you even have a single repository for high-quality data, too! For Vattenfall, that dream became a reality with Alation. Vattenfall faced a complex data landscape that had the potential to result in regulatory fines and missed deeper data insights due to siloed data. The solution? A single source of truth for high-quality data. By the numbers, Vattenfall achieved with Alation: ⏰ 81% faster project development, down from 3 months to 3 weeks ⚡️ 10X faster creation of data quality rules ✅ 1000+ data objects improved in core systems monthly Learn more https://lnkd.in/ewGYC3KC #alationcustomers #dataquality #alationdataIntelligence

How can you create exceptional experiences for customers? Just ask Elizabeth Friend, Senior Director, Data Governance at Sallie Mae. She understands that a data culture built upon a trusted data foundation is key for optimal customer experiences. 🔑 However, this education solutions company faced distributed data across the company and no formal data governance program. Working with Alation, Sallie Mae could now integrate all aspects of data governance; not just cataloging the information but driving policies and providing a central place for data collaboration. 🤝 The results: 👥 500 data users across the company 📊 250TB of accumulated data 📑 350,000 database fields to be cataloged 🚪 1 front door to key data Elizabeth shares: "Alation is where we can integrate all aspects of data governance – not just cataloging the information, but driving policies and providing a place for people to collaborate."

Alation reposted this
My latest in ZDNet: If data is the new oil, then AI, which needs lots and lots of it, is the 'gas guzzler' of data. However, consuming large volumes of data risks a loss of quality in the process -- creating trust issues with AI. Thanks to Andy Thurai of Constellation Research for providing this analogy!
