In a recent announcement, Alation introduced a new software platform designed to simplify data management tasks using artificial intelligence. This platform, called the Agentic Platform, aims to help companies automate tedious processes that often bog down data management efforts. The first AI agent from this platform focuses on improving data quality, with plans for more agents to follow, all intended to make data management more efficient and user-friendly.
Alation has a history of innovation in the data management space, having created the data catalog over a decade ago. As businesses face increasing complexity in their data environments, the need for effective data management solutions has become more critical. The Agentic Platform seeks to address these challenges by using AI to guide users through the data management process, reducing the need for extensive manual input and allowing companies to focus on their core business objectives.
Additionally, Alation launched a Data Products Marketplace, which enables users to access and share curated data products easily. This marketplace is designed to help both technical and non-technical users find and utilize data more effectively, promoting collaboration and enhancing data-driven decision-making within organizations.
