“Alation 2020.3 supports us in establishing a data culture throughout our organization,” said Andreas Haehre, Head of Information Governance, Vattenfall. “With its Google-like search experience we are now also encouraging our business users to search and catalog data by themselves.”

“Building a holistic data culture is an integral part of our business, and we are really excited about Alation 2020.3 because it’s more business-user friendly,” said Scott Drummond, Director, Enterprise Data Enablement and Governance, CNA Insurance. “The new search is very intuitive and its location at the front and center of the catalog quickly shows users where to go to find the information they need.”

“We’ve always believed that the trick to getting people to use data more regularly was reducing the barriers to getting to the data. The new user experience in Alation 2020 coupled with the insights provided by Alation Analytics makes enterprise data accessible and approachable to a significantly greater number of users, especially business users,” said Satyen Sangani, CEO and co-founder, Alation. “We are excited about Alation’s transition to a cloud-native architecture while still providing the flexibility for our customers to deploy in the cloud or on-premises.”
