As enterprise data proliferates and environments become more complex, demands on data managers have increased significantly.
Data teams often struggle to scale to accommodate the influx of data from thousands of sources, resulting in data governance gaps. Inadequate data descriptions and usage guidelines create risks of misunderstanding, misuse, and compliance. Additionally, manual, repetitive tasks such as security classification and policy updates are error-prone and can lead to missing or inaccurate metadata, poor data curation, and unreliable data usage across the business. be connected.
Alation Workflow Automation addresses these gaps by optimizing data governance processes from curation to consumption. Alation Automation Bot proactively checks for missing security classifications, titles, and terms and prompts data stewards to take action to improve metadata quality.

The solution also allows you to visualize your data governance progress through dashboards that display rule compliance. Alation Workflow Automation eliminates the need to expand your data stewarding team, facilitates faster and more reliable decision-making, and ensures cost-effectiveness while delivering trusted, AI-enabled data across your enterprise.
