Eccovia Launches ClientInsight, an AI-Powered Data Warehouse to Improve Social Service Delivery

Eccovia
Eccovia, a leading provider of cloud-based SaaS solutions for the health and human services sector, announces the release of an unprecedented data warehouse and community-analytics platform, ClientInsight. ClientInsight is hosted in Microsoft Azure and is a premier solution for data quality, performance, and actionable insights.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, our nation’s most vulnerable populations have faced adverse outcomes to their social determinants of health. In addition to a new pathogen in the public, domestic violence increased, as did homelessness. Data availability became a national topic of conversation as COVID-19 case counts rose, and there was never a greater need for increased access to timely data in the realm of social services. We now know the result of data that is incomplete, siloed, or “stale.” Data has to be available when needed, and the inequities in data availability were highlighted by the pandemic, as were the needs to address systemic issues in care coordination.

With the launch of ClientInsight, social-services dashboards and data from across communities can integrate into a single source of truth, leading to a more holistic approach to addressing the needs of vulnerable populations, true coordinated entry, and effective care coordination.

”ClientInsight is really the first-ever platform that will be able to help tie organizational data, collected every single day, to outcomes and progress that providers hope and expect to see. This is a true gamechanger that will allow community providers to set and meet more ambitious goals in their respective fights to end society’s most pressing issues.”

CEO, Carl Champagne

Data-privacy laws require secure access points to client data, yet networks that serve multiple populations must be able to share this data between organizations for care coordination. ClientInsight closes the gap between data privacy and care coordination, allowing providers to serve their clients' needs with a more knowledgeable, integrated level of care.

About Eccovia
Eccovia provides industry-leading software platforms for case management and community care coordination for state agencies, community-based providers, and other human-service entities. The platforms help caseworkers and care providers collaborate across physical, behavioral, economic, and social determining factors that impact individual and community health outcomes.

Powered by Airbyte Offers Software Makers More than 100 Data Integrations

Business Wire | November 02, 2023

Airbyte, creators of the fastest-growing open-source data integration platform, today announced its "Powered by Airbyte" version that enables makers of software to embed over 100 integrations into their applications – accelerating their time-to-market while increasing the focus on their core product value. “Powered by Airbyte” removes the time-consuming task of building data integrations from scratch. Instead, using Airbyte's extensive library of connectors enables rapid data movement and synchronization between various sources and destinations. This novel approach liberates engineering teams from the burdensome task of integration development, letting them redirect their resources to building out their product's features and capabilities. Engineering teams shouldn't need to build everything themselves, said Michel Tricot, co-founder and CEO, Airbyte. They are wasting time on integration work when they don't need to do that. Now, their data movement and integration needs are covered with Powered by Airbyte so that they can re-focus their engineering time on their product's core value proposition. Early users of Powered by Airbyte report high satisfaction and excellent results. Cart.com is a fast-growing provider to 6,000 brands helping them get their products in the hands of their buyers. Last year, the company helped move over $5 billion in gross merchandise value with a total of 140 million product listings. Cart utilizes Powered by Airbyte in its Unified Analytics product that helps its merchant customers to predict demand, allocate inventory and adjust advertising spending by pulling in the merchant's data from sources such as Facebook, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Hubspot, Mailchimp, Shopify, and more. The data is then consolidated in Cart’s Snowflake data warehouse with all of the integration and data movement done with Powered by Airbyte. Cart is able to offer its merchants self-service to sign up for an account, connect their data sources, connect their integrations, and begin using the product on their own. “With Airbyte, we don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless,” said Chase Zieman, chief data officer, Cart. “The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.” Digital marketing firm, KORTX, delivers personalized experiences for clients and custom reporting built on BigQuery and Looker. That requires centralizing all of their clients’ data from Facebook Marketing, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Hubspot and more into BigQuery so it can be analyzed. Prior to using Powered by Airbyte, data was pulled manually and put into spreadsheets and, of course, clients did not have real-time access to the data. “Without Airbyte’s ease-of-use and library of API connectors, we would have either had to lean heavily on valuable engineering resources to build out custom connections to power our custom reporting dashboard solutions or continue with time-consuming manual reporting,” said Jeff Isreal, director of analytics at KORTX. Damon Henry, KORTX founder and CEO, said, “With Airbyte, our team of data engineers could easily develop new connectors or customize existing ones to meet our clients' needs. The platform’s resilience and reliability mean that we can now focus more on deriving insights and less on managing data pipelines. With Airbyte as our ally, KORTX is not just meeting but exceeding client expectations, ensuring that advertising campaigns are not just effective but are also backed by data that is as robust as it is reliable.” Airbyte makes moving data easy and affordable across almost any source and destination, helping enterprises provide their users with access to the right data for analysis and decision-making. Airbyte has the largest data engineering contributor community – with more than 800 contributors – and the best tooling to build and maintain connectors. Pricing for Powered by Airbyte is based primarily on the number of customers syncing data through Airbyte. This makes pricing easier to forecast and more predictable than alternative solutions. Additional pricing details, and a pricing estimator can be found here. About Airbyte Airbyte is the open-source data movement leader running in the safety of your cloud and syncing data from applications, APIs, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations. Airbyte offers four products: Airbyte Open Source, Airbyte Enterprise, Airbyte Cloud, and Powered by Airbyte. Airbyte was co-founded by Michel Tricot (former director of engineering and head of integrations at Liveramp and RideOS) and John Lafleur (serial entrepreneur of dev tools and B2B). The company is headquartered in San Francisco with a distributed team around the world. To learn more, visit airbyte.com.

Immuta Launches Immuta Discover for Enhanced Data Security and Compliance

PR Newswire | October 31, 2023

Immuta, a data security leader, today announced the release of Immuta Discover, a new product for automated tagging and classification on cloud data platforms. Immuta Discover enables data teams to establish and maintain highly accurate metadata for the primary purpose of data access control, monitoring and regulatory compliance. Immuta Discover automatically and continuously discovers structured data in cloud data platforms. It can also leverage existing metadata pulled from enterprise data catalogs like Alation. Leveraging all of this metadata, Immuta Discover provides visibility of all sensitive data, which is critical for building data policies to protect the data and analyzing its usage. As a core pillar of Immuta's comprehensive Data Security Platform, Immuta Discover eliminates manual, error-prone processes and helps organizations improve data security, gain full visibility into their data and unlock its value. Discovering, tagging and classifying sensitive data with highly accurate and descriptive metadata is a critical component of a successful data security strategy. However, today's organizations are burdened with increasingly dispersed data as the number of data sources and users continues to grow. Existing solutions are not designed to tag and classify data across all of these sources with the accuracy and granularity required for security and governance. The lack of accurate metadata creates security gaps and blind spots, making it difficult to meet stringent compliance regulations. Immuta Discover allows data teams to easily and accurately scan, classify and tag data so they can apply data control policies and monitor data access. This allows teams to gain full visibility and context into all of their data assets, and better protect and monitor their sensitive data for enhanced data security posture management. Immuta offers 60+ pre-built and domain-specific classifiers, providing organizations with the flexibility to tailor data classifications to their unique business needs and based on their desired confidence levels. Immuta Discover is the foundational component to making any data security program work within your organization and to remain compliant, said Mo Plassnig, Chief Product Officer at Immuta. It's the first step that must happen in order to protect your data. Data is constantly changing in today's digital age. Organizations must fully understand what data they have – with accurate classification – and maintain a trustworthy inventory of sensitive data across cloud platforms in order to meet growing data security and access demands. And Immuta Discover helps our customers accomplish just this. With Immuta Discover, customers can automatically identify and classify sensitive data by leveraging the following new capabilities: Accurate and actionable metadata for data security – Immuta Discover provides accurate, granular metadata and actionable tags on sensitive data so users can seamlessly secure data across cloud platforms at scale. The product enables full metadata visibility into what data requires access controls and auditing. The metadata can be leveraged directly in Immuta Secure to govern the data and in Immuta Detect to monitor data access. Agentless, multi-cloud data discovery – Immuta Discover scans and classifies data natively, with no software to install and no agent running next to the cloud data platform. The data never leaves the data platform. This approach simplifies operations and is secure and compliant, enabling data teams to be more efficient with an always up-to-date data inventory. Out-of-the-box and customizable regulatory frameworks – Immuta Discover automatically categorizes data that is subject to leading regulatory frameworks such as CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI, to implement compliant access control policies. These frameworks are created and maintained by Immuta's in-house Legal Engineering Team, and additionally enable customers to customize frameworks based on their interpretations of specific regulations for accelerated compliance. "I am thrilled to see the addition and announcement of Immuta Discover to Immuta's Data Security Platform," said Sanjeev Mohan, former Gartner analyst and founder of SanjMo. "Efficiently tagging and classifying data is a critical first step in protecting it against the growing number of threats in today's data management landscape. Being able to scan data natively in the cloud data platform is an innovation that enables data discovery at scale." Immuta offers a comprehensive Data Security Platform that enables sensitive data discovery, security and access control and activity monitoring. Immuta Discover automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data relevant to the leading regulatory frameworks. Immuta Detect adds critical user and data access behavior monitoring and auditing. And, Immuta Secure provides scalable data access control and enforcement across cloud data platforms. Together, these capabilities give customers comprehensive data security and governance for analytic workloads. About Immuta Immuta enables organizations to unlock value from their cloud data by protecting it and providing secure access. The Immuta Data Security Platform provides sensitive data discovery, security and access control, data activity monitoring, and has deep integrations with the leading cloud data platforms.

Alation Launches Analytics Cloud1 Elevating Data Culture Assessment

Alation | October 12, 2023

Alation, Inc., a prominent data intelligence company, has unveiled its latest offering, Alation Analytics Cloud1. This unified reporting platform empowers organizations to gain insights into their data usage and, in doing so, assess the effectiveness of their data initiatives and the overall maturity of their data culture. The stakes are high in today's data-driven landscape, given the vast opportunities associated with data, analytics, and AI, and organizations can no longer afford to operate with disjointed data efforts that lack a clear connection to value. Alarmingly, a vast majority of Chief Data Officers (CDOs) fail to accurately assess and price the business outcomes generated by their data and analytics efforts, as revealed by Harvard Business Review. Consequently, there is a pressing need for a framework that enables organizations to benchmark and enhance their data management capabilities as they become critical strategic endeavors. However, this void has persisted because organizations have lacked the tools required to quantify the value and impact of their data initiatives on their business operations. Moreover, disparate teams within organizations often employ distinct data analysis methods, emphasizing the necessity for a solution that facilitates the consistent assessment of critical usage statistics, thereby fostering the growth of a robust data culture. The Alation Analytics Cloud offers a framework to articulate the business value of data initiatives. Leveraging Alation's innovative Query Log Ingestion technology, leaders can gain insights into which data sources are most frequently accessed and which teams are executing specific queries. This knowledge enables data leaders to comprehensively map data consumption across the entire organization. These insights serve a dual purpose, facilitating the measurement of the effectiveness of diverse data programs and, subsequently, enabling an assessment of the maturity level of an organization's data culture. These insights can also be harnessed to optimize queries and rationalize data sources, for example, by expediting the migration of frequently used datasets or the retirement of data sources that are no longer in active use, thereby reducing costs. Key benefits of the Alation Analytics Cloud include the ability to: Measure Data Culture Maturity: Organizations can now measure their data culture maturity by examining four vital components: data leadership, data search and discovery, data literacy, and data governance. Score Data Programs: Data leaders are empowered to gauge the progress of their data initiatives using a variety of metrics, such as total assets curated, the number of active users, and many other relevant indicators. Map Data Consumption: Business and data leaders can gain visibility into the efficacy of individual data products by closely tracking actual usage. Reports provide valuable insights into which queries are being executed by specific users on various data stores, including details about the total execution time of database queries, thus pinpointing areas that can be optimized. About Alation Alation is a leading enterprise data intelligence solutions provider, offering capabilities that empower self-service analytics, drive cloud transformation, and enhance data governance. Over 500 leading enterprises, including prominent names like Cisco, Nasdaq, Pfizer, Salesforce, and Virgin Australia, rely on Alation to cultivate a data culture and bolster data-driven decision-making. The company's commitment to excellence is evidenced by its recognition on Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces list four times, its status as a UK's Best Workplaces in tech and Best Workplaces for Women in 2022, and its continued accolades as a UK's Best Workplaces in 2022 and 2023.
