Alation

Get your AI right with Alation Intelligence Operating System! AI can quietly (and confidently) break. The problem is figuring out where and why. Your agents, context and data must be governed and managed to create visibility and more importantly trust in your AI. Read what our leader Satyen Sangani shares about AIOS. Incredibly excited to work with a passionate team with a mission to help AI deployments succeed. #ai #context

Business users complain that searching the Alation data catalog returns hundreds of irrelevant, raw dev/test sandbox tables while hiding the official certified tables, leading to poor user adoption and a surge in 'shadow' reporting.

🔥🔥 Electronic Arts (EA) ’s Warren Durrett and Alation ’s Satyen Sangani on stage at Techex AI and Big Data Expo talking about how EA got data ready to unlock AI at scale.

Excited to attend AI & Big Data Expo North America today and host a fireside chat with Alation customer, Warren Durrett , Sr. Director of Product, Data and AI at Electronic Arts (EA) ! 62% of organizations say poor data governance is the #1 barrier to scaling AI. EA decided to be in the other 38%. In a lot of companies, AI strategy starts with models, copilots, and agents. The real bottleneck is usually underneath all of that: fragmented data, unclear definitions, missing business context, and institutional knowledge trapped in people’s heads. That’s what makes EA’s story worth hearing. Reliable analytics and intelligence at scale. Their journey to an AI-ready data foundation was about what broke, what worked, and what they wish they had done sooner. Join us for a conversation on why governance doesn’t slow AI down — it’s what makes AI work.

Proud of our Q1 Allie Spotlight Award winners. 🚀🧡 These Alation auts embody our values, deliver beyond their remit, and raise the bar for all of us. What I admire most is how they balance speed with trust. They listen first. They move fast. They leave the work stronger than they found it. That’s the culture we’re building at Alation: curiosity, agency, and customer impact in every action. Please join me in congratulating our Q1 Allie Spotlight honorees Xavier Villarino , John Hooper , Mendelsohn C. , Tassia Reinhold , Matthew Cotreau , Joseph Jayanth , Shahzad Asghar and Kristina Martinez in the comments.

This week at Alation HQ, we hosted our FDE team onsite. In a world where anyone can build an MVP of almost anything, the most important thing is that you’re building with your customers, not just for them. FDEs are becoming one of the most critical bridges between product vision and customer reality. The companies that will matter most in AI won’t be the ones that can build anything. It’ll be the ones that know what’s worth building because they’re building it shoulder to shoulder with customers.

Enterprises have millions of data assets and only a handful of stewards. Manual curation can’t keep up, so metadata stays thin, and AI stays unreliable. Curation Automation changes that. You define what good metadata looks like in plain language, at the field level, and Alation applies it continuously across your environment. And it does it with trust built in. Every value comes with confidence and reasoning. If the system isn’t confident, it doesn’t write. Importantly, these agents can be customized and tuned to the needs of your organization. What we ship is reliable and useful, but you can customize them to make them even better. The result: thousands of objects documented, classified, and attributed in minutes, so the foundation beneath your AI can finally keep pace.
