Alation Introduces Data Marketplaces for Trusted Third-party Data Discovery

Alation | February 27, 2023

Alation Inc., a leading enterprise data intelligence solutions provider, has recently introduced Alation Marketplaces. This new product offers third-party datasets to supplement existing data in Alation Data Catalog, allowing for more comprehensive analysis. Furthermore, Alation has expanded its Anywhere platform to include Microsoft Teams and Connected Sheets to Microsoft Excel, providing data users with direct access to contextual information from the catalog within their preferred tools. The use of third-party data can reveal opportunities and risks that enterprises may miss with their proprietary data. For example, while industries like air travel rely on internally produced data on customers, fuel, and predictive maintenance to operate, external data, such as weather patterns, is also crucial to optimize customer experience and streamline operations. However, as third-party data providers proliferate, sourcing reliable data can be time-consuming and challenging. With Alation Marketplaces, users can easily explore third-party external data from vendors like Snowflake, Amazon Web Services, and data.gov to complement existing data in Alation Data Catalog. In addition, the product offers easy-to-scan sample data and a single, well-organized environment that allows everyone in an organization to conveniently find and integrate external data that would otherwise be difficult to locate. Alation Anywhere for Microsoft Teams will be available soon, allowing data teams and business users to preview metadata from Alation Data Catalog directly within Microsoft Teams and collaborate with others seamlessly.
