So what Alation did was bring that information together so that we could access it in one location." — Chantelle Robertson, Head of Data Governance at Domain.

🗯️ "Alation reduces the time required for search and discovery of data. If people are thinking data, I want them to think Alation. It’s the Wikipedia of information for us." — Elizabeth Friend, Senior Director, Data Governance at Sallie Mae. Education solutions company Sallie Mae faced distributed data across the organization and no formal data governance program in place. After implementing Alation, Sallie Mae could now integrate all aspects of data governance; not just cataloging the information but driving policies and providing a central place for data collaboration. 🤝 The results: 👥 500 data users across the company 📊 250TB of accumulated data 📑 350,000 database fields to be cataloged 🚪 1 front door to key data Discover more in our case study: https://lnkd.in/eNmRdfyz #alationcustomers #salliemae #trusteddatatrustedai #alationdataintelligence #casestudy

In June, we hosted an Alation Executive Breakfast in Kuala Lumpur to discuss how we can harness the power of data to drive innovation and excellence. Here are some of the key takeaways: ⏰ “The fashion of how governance is implemented… equates to how effectively you’re using your data. The effectiveness of it equates to time-saving. Time-saving equates to actual saving. And the hope is that you get your data right and regulatory penalties will not come your way.” — Khai Chiat Ong (“KC”), Data and Analytics Partner at PwC Malaysia. 👥 "We do have a common vision… and a framework [so] that, every one of us knows our roles and responsibilities...Everyone from the business, teams, any department or any business unit [is] able to raise a concern… then data governance [can] triage who should be the rightful owner [and the] actions to be taken.” — Melecio Jr Valerio, Head of Data Governance at Maya. Special thanks to Sidharth Sharma, Regional VP Sales, Asia at Alation for moderating! 🎤 Catch the full recap and takeaways: https://lnkd.in/d_BmNUSJ

"Tools like Alation, for example, and the other tools that we use for data visualization, democratize a lot of the data into the hands of the users. So users in the bank are able to search for data definitions and what is in the bank itself through Alation. And they have trust in in the data that they see. This is really important because reliability on the data and the quality of the data is a key component to using the data." — Geraldine Wong, PhD, CDO at GXS Bank.
